When Björk's Voltaic was released on Nonesuch earlier this year, it captured the Icelandic performer's unforgettable Volta tour and made it available on an array of formats: a concert film on DVD, live-in-studio recordings, and a remix album, with a deluxe version showcasing the music on both CD and vinyl. 

Krist Novoselic, a founding member of Nirvana and a regular contributor to Seattle Weekly's "Reverb" music blog, says, "We're so lucky to have an artist like Björk be alive today. Not only is she a vocalist with tons of natural talent, she blazes new trails with music."

The collection, he explains, is not just for fanatical followers of the artist: "If you love Björk, you probably own this.
