As was pointed out on the Bj=F6rk-list of which I happen to be a member (uh
oh, will be getting less hits on my webpages after this embarrasing
information have been made public), there's a significant different between
being "commercial" and "commercially succesful" although I know it's hard
for many people to understand. But then again, nuances are appearantly some
heavy shit for many on this list.

But I think me and this wells-figure (among others) went through this when
Bj=F6rk released her brilliant album, Homogenic, last year. Oh, and btw if
you read the linear notes it clearly states that it was PRODUCED by Mark
Bell and written by Bj=F6rk. When Mark Bell writes tracks it sounds like tha=
t
last track on Warp 100 which isn't really the same thing, at least not to
my ears.

But I'm not doing this again

Franz.
