Summary: Bjork Is Beautiful!
Review: Taken from the UK leg of her "Homogenic" tour, bringing along with her album collaborators Mark Bell and the Icelandic String Octet, this 1998 recording is the best live concert Bjork commits to her newfound 'Live DVD Series'. Comprising mostly of tracks from "Homogenic", Bjork performs with such clairvoyant authority and adorable playfulness you cannot take your eyes or ears away from her. Her angelic get-up as well is a truly iconic image that stays with you afterwards, though she allows the Octet and Bell moments to shine also.The best is saved until the end, when Bjork and the Octet return to the stage for an encore after Bell's fit-inducing work on 'Pluto'. Bjork's rendition of "Debut's" 'The Anchor Song', half in Icelandic and half in English, is unbelievable, and should be released on a live CD; the notes she hits at the end are gut-wrenchingly spine-tingling. The piece finishes up with 'Joga', and here Bjork is at her best with the Octet, all beaming with pride as the song plays on; Bjork's exhalted joy at the end reveals that she is enjoying this as much as, if not more than, the viewer watching it. Once she's given her thanks, you just want to hit the repeat button and watch it all over again. Worthwhile addition to any self-respecting Bjork fan's collection.

Summary: Exceptionally well filmed and directed concert video
Review: This is a surprisingly intelligently filmed concert video. Usually, concert videos are excuses for the editors to show off their skills, almost always in an annoying and jarring fashion. Not so in "Bjork Live At Cambridge". The camerawork and lighting work together to create a beautiful and deep atmosphere in which you view the concert. (The only similar film I can think of, is "Pink Floyd Live At Pompeii".) And the performance that you get to view is both subtle and vibrant. Bjork's innovative, impressionistic compositions are miles beyond most music of today, and she presents them here in a series of heartfelt renditions. This is a disk that no Bjork fan should be without, and also makes a fine introduction to Bjork for those fortunate enough to be discovering her music for the first time.

Summary: the best of bjork yet next to Opera House
Review: To begin, no Bjork fan should be without this DVD, honestly LAC and Vessel and Royal Opera House are the best documented performances of Bjork. So if you're indecisive well there you have it. But this DVD is beautiful, from beginning to end, from Bjork to Mark Bell to the Icelandic Octet, everyone is excellent including the camera men! just watch the intro, it will blow your mind, and Bjork is seriously modest in this dvd. well i'm keeping this short, Pluto is the #1 reason to buy this. A must have for any Bjork fan.
