Excerpt
Björk's Voltaic captures the Icelandic performer's unforgettable Volta tour on an array of formats, including a deluxe version with all the music on vinyl. In Seattle Weekly's "Reverb" music blog, Nirvana's Krist Novoselic says: "Voltaic is some good vinyl ... If you love Björk, you probably own this. If you like Björk, I say get this work because it's a nice document of the artist's music up to Volta but with a fresh twist."

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." 

Novoselic has been listening to the new records and reports to his "Reverb" readers: "Voltaic is some good vinyl." The collection, he explains, is not just for fanatical followers of the artist: "If you love Björk, you probably own this. If you like Björk, I say get this work because it's a nice document of the artist's music up to Volta but with a fresh twist."
