I doubt that there are enough obsessive Bjork 'spotters to have *that*
much of an impact on sales. If there were, Current 93's "Island" CD would
be a bestseller as well. 

And as I said, there was no mention of Bjork's involvement in the press
material, and I don't think there's a bigass "contains Bjork!" sticker on
the cover, although I haven't seen the commercial release yet so I can't
be sure.

WHOA!!

Well, I guess it just wouldn't be IDM without the quarterly flame-fest
about women and their musical tastes.

Excuse me while I duck for cover...
