Summary: A Little Less Than I Expected (but not a bad thing)
Review: Today, I got Volumen Plus DVD based on the reviews here at Amazon, particularly with regards to the nudity in two of Björk's videos. Although the videos were tastefully and artistically done well (reflecting Björk's talents as a visual artist), as a guy, I have to say that my expectations were not quite met. In Pagan Poetry, she was filmed either too close or too far away for her [mammary glands] to be fully seen; maybe it should have been filmed at multiple angles. As for Cocoon, it seemed as though she was covered with powder, and like Pagan Poetry, you couldn't get a real sense of Björk's physical beauty. But then, if that's the only thing a person looks for in a video, then you would be better off watching a performance by someone like the "talented" Britney Spears. In fact, the videos that I liked the best are It's In Our Hands and Alarm Call, which are both set in a forest/lagoon. I really liked the interplay between Björk and the animals in Alarm Call and the dress that she wore in the video. In my opinion, I think Alarm Call (one of the two up-tempo videos on the disk) did more to promote her beauty than either of the videos where she appeared nude.By the way, Volumen Plus is just that, a "plus" to Björk's Volumen DVD. Compared to the original, I have to say that this disk was a little mellower and not as diverse as Volumen, but I still would recommend it to anyone who is a fan of Björk..
