Not wanting > to start a flame war, i'm just curious... For the record, I think Bjork is a really good musician, regardless of who or what she uses as her tools. She has beautiful voice, I mean ever since her Sugarcubes days I've totally liked her style. I watched, last night on Bravo, what I believe may be the same documentary several of you have been refering too. From what I saw in the program she and Mark Bell worked as a team on Homogenic, I'm not sure if it was 50/50 but she is definitely an accomplished musician, how about those string arrangements for "Joga"... By the way the machine in question is definitely in the Yamaha line, something after the QY20 with sampling capabilties circa 1997. Anyway if you haven't seen the docu it's an interesting watch...
