Summary: The Best Videos Around
Review: I have watched this for the first time last night and I have never experienced good music video art to that level EVER. Every video is worth $ 20 alone. I never buy movies without viewing them first, but let me tell you, NO ONE will be disappointed! This collection of her videos are a necessity for any person who appreciates both music and creativity.

Summary: A glimpse into Bjork's wonderful imagination!
Review: Bjork has some of THE most creative music videos ever made, most of which go unappreciated by MTV. If you're a Bjork fan and have yet to view her imaginative videos, grab this video! The videos included are taken from her albums "Debut," "Post," and "Homogenic." The first video, "Human Behaviour" is my all-time favorite. It was that video which introduced me to Bjork in the first place (I saw it on MTV back when they actually played videos). I will never forget the surreal images of a child-like woman being chased through the forrest by moths and a giant teddy bear (you'll see what I mean). The video has a fairy tale, Goldilocks and the Three Bears quality to it. Other great videos include "Venus as a Boy," "Army of Me," "Isobel," "Bachelorette," and her popular "It's All So Quiet" (in which she dances around a tire store like she's in a musical--a preview of her "Dancer in the Dark" role perhaps?).While viewing her videos, remember to keep an open mind and don't try to figure out the meaning of the images you see being played out before you. This is not the usual one-dimentional, mass-marketed fodder that MTV feeds to its audience everyday. This is real, creative stuff that took a great amount of imagination to produce. So just sit back and enjoy the ride.

Summary: BJORK's Volumen is the Most ORIGINAL Collection of Videos!
Review: BJORK's Volumen is the Most ORIGINAL Collection of Videos! Bjrk is one of the very few artists today to create Original Music Videos. Her Videos are WORKS OF ART and seem to take you to a sort of Dream Like World. When you watch this collection of videos you see how ahead of her time BJORK truly is. I will give me personal review of each Video on this collection.HUMAN BEHAVIOUR - The song was one of the first Electronica songs and the video is like a stuffed animal come to life video. The video is amazing and has some of the most creative images to ever grace the Music Video Screen!VENUS IS A BOY - This song is a slower song than the previous and the video is not her best, but is brought to life by BJORK being in her kitchen and doing what she does best... creating something unique. Only she can make something so typical very entertaining to watch.PLAY DEAD - I had never seen this video untill I bought this DVD, and let me tell you it was a treat. This is a beautiful slow song from a movie. This song is more POP sounding than anything I have ever heard from Bjork in later days. The Video is very beautiful and you can see her emotion through her facial expressions when she raises her voice in song. One of the best songs on this collection.BIG TIME SENSUALITY - The song is a great mid-tempo electronic blast. This is the infamous video that has Bjork dancing around on the back of a trailor truck in downtown Times Square New York City. I have to say she was very brave to do all those hand and facial expressions and run around like a chicken without a head in front of all those people. The video is in Black and white and is a great video.VIOLENTLY HAPPY - The song is a beautiful song although it does get repetitive very quick. The video has Bjork and friends in a Rubber Room with her and a few others cutting there hair as the song continues to unfold. The video is a little darker than what we can expect from Bjork, but it is not a bad video.ARMY OF ME - This is one of the most creative videos I have ever seen. This has Bjork in a video with a future like set that has sort of a dream like feel to it. Bjork also seems to have issues as she blows up a building in the end of the video. This is hard to explain it. Watch it it is GREAT!ISOBEL - The song is a beautiful slow song that has a sort of classical meets electronica vibe. The video is in black and white and water once again so unique and hard to explain. Kind of like a dream where you turn your head one minute and things change and morph. Beautiful song and video. IT'S OH SO QUIET - The song is a nice slow song that is so much like a old Hollywood musical tune. The video also carries on the Hollywood Musical vibe as it has Bjork dancing and bursting in to song. This video is fun and was the reason Bjork got the staring Role in which she gave an AMAZING performance the movie DANVCER IN THE DARK which if you have not seen you really need to.HYPERBALLAD - This song and video are my favorite from Bjork. Now this song is more like a dream than any other video she has done. The video matches the song so well in which Bjork is dreaming and in her dream her character is taking on that of a Video Game character who is doing things only her dream world would allow her to do. When you close your eyes to this song I swear you feel like you leave this earth. The Most BEAUTIFUL, AMAZINGLY colorful video that Bjork has ever done. The closest thing to a dream you will ever experience while still being awake!POSSIBLY MAYBE - This is a slower song that has a heavy drum line with some awesome electronic sounds that kick in at the perfect moments making this one of the most relaxing songs. The video is almost as colorful as Hyperballad because of the Black light that seems to bring one of Bjorks outfits to amazing Neon life. What a sensual beautiful video. I MISS YOU - The song has a tribal feel to it. The video has Bjork taking on a truly animated character dancing with a weird alien like thing and has her tearing him to bits. She also sports a Hot Pink/Redish hair style. Has a feel almost like Human Behaviour but not so dark.JOGA - This is an amazing song that truly combines Electronica with a classical feel to it. The video has some beautiful and colorful landscapes. Bjork is not in this video very much, but the computerized landscapes are breathtaking with this heartpounding number.BACHELORETTE - This song is another beautiful song with that same style of music as JOGA. The video is original as all her others and has Bjork getting her Book published and turned in to a play. This video is also filmed to make it look as if they she is performing in a play. Another Great video.HUNTER - This song is one of the most beautiful slow songs on this DVD. The video has Bjork sporting a bald look and as the song gets emotional so do her expressions which turn her in to what seems to look like a Robotic Polar Bear of the future. She has some of the most amazing facial expressions which seem to work perfect as she morphs in to the Polar Bear. Awesome video!This whole collection is truly the most ORIGINAL WORKS OF ART in Music Video I have ever seen. BJORK is a true ARTIST who seems to bring her videos to life as much as she does her songs. Only one other Artist can compare to BJORK when it comes to Original Music Videos and that is the Ween of Video herself, MADONNA. Who is also inspired by Bjork and calls her one of the true visionaries in modern music today. I say BUY he DVD Collection of BJORK Volumen and you will feel like you just got HOME!

Summary: The beautiful imagery of Bjork
Review: I have been a big Bjork fan since I first heard the "odd,...yet stangely attractive" sound of the Sugar Cubes way back when. Over the years she has grown stonger as an artist not only musically but in her visual representation also, and Volumen illustrates that beautifully. My favorites are bachelorette, hyperballad, hunter, and violently happy! If your a Bjork fan this is a must have!!

Summary: Absolute masterpieces!!
Review: Don't bother wasting your time watching all those music clip shows on TV, waiting to see if something innovative and original comes on. Buy Volumen on DVD or video because every clip is an absolute work of art. Like her music, uniquely creative, atmospheric and very beautiful. In fact, everything Bjork gets involved in is always something new and highly artistic... She's certainly something special and these clips will captivate you - each one is like a little movie. I am particularly fond of 'Human Behaviour', 'Bacherlorette' and 'Hunter'. Check it out!!

Summary: Excellent DVD music !
Review: This DVD is the best one that I have. Great quallity of the sound and video. It uses almost every benefits that this new tecnology can offer (the only fault is that don't play 5 channels). Bjork is an exotic singer but her voice is very beaultyful and the songs are great. My favorit song is "Play Dead", but every 14 tltles are terrifcs...

Summary: Totally Bjork
Review: If you like Bjork you'll love this DVD. It's a good collection of the strange, quirky, and bizzare videos made by this Icelandic songstress. What else would one expect? It's totally Bjork through and through.

Summary: Best Music Video Collection Ever!
Review: From the beginning track where Bjrok is hunted in "Human Behaviour" to the final track where Bjork has become the "Hunter" this terrific collection of music videos will have you falling in love with this boldy creative woman's desire to express the grand palette of human emotions with her singularly unique, mystical, outrageous, Icelandic perspective. "Joga" expresses the connection between earth and body/heart with striking graphic images of plate tectonics; "Venus As A Boy" shows the pixie in love, embracing her wild animal nature (lizard on shoulder) and making love to the camera with that those joyous, innocent expressions only Bjork can emote; "Isobel", "Army Of Me", "I MIss You" etc. etc.-all perfect-all highly entertaining and thought-provoking. Too bad we don't have the two that followed this release, "Alarm Call" and the award winning "All Is Full Of Love". This woman just keeps breaking new ground-what an exciting artist!

Summary: The best video directors showcase their talents
Review: This Dvd is a definite purchase for a bjork fan, that goes without saying. But to others that appreciate the music video as an art form can also find this dvd of some worth. These videos aren't all chereographed dance routines and pretty faces. It showcases the imaginations of some of the more creative minds in music video directing. Michel Gondry being the most "out there" as shown in Human Behaviour, and Bachelorette. These videos are basically indecipherable on first viewing, and only with multiple viewings could I make even a little sense of them. Also Spike Jonze's "It's Oh So Quiet" video is a masterpiece of music video direction, in my opinion. The video caters to the song, and the song melds perfectly with it, and it is such a cool video, for the lack of a better word. The rest of the videos are all outstanding, but those are the standouts. Buy it, and just sit and stare at the screen, you won't be able to turn away.
