I have.  Wish Alarm call was on it.  Joga and Possibly Maybe are my two
favorites.

Joga: great play on emotional landscapes and probably the most interesting
non-chris cunningham video i've seen in years.

Possibly Maybe: I love Stephane Sednaoui's photography (Tricky's "tricky
Kid and PMT, Robbie Robertson's "Underworld of Redboy"), so to see a video
by him was cool.  The point where bjork's box just falls back through the
screen took the emotional climax of the song and cubed it. mmmhh...
Stephane's also done a cool video for Garbage's Milk.

BST, which i thought was so cool the first time i saw it really sucks now.
Boring, bjork being silly on a flatbed truck in NYC. And i don't like the
fluke mix.  Wait, the credits say Stephane did this one, too?  well, he's
much better now.
 
 Though a number of directors are involved Michael Gondry is the
