When Björk became romantically involved with art-world darling Matthew Barney, the universe seemed to be uniting two of the most idiosyncratic artistic temperaments of the 21st century. The first major artistic product of this union, Drawing Restraint 9, music composed by Björk for Barney's film of the same name, finds their sensibilities eerily complementary. Barney's previous films, the megaton, five-part Cremaster Cycle, astounded audiences with a personal mythology inspired by the biological process of prenatal sexual differentiation, touching themes as unsettlingly diverse as speed metal, auto racing, Freemasonry, and Harry Houdini. Barney, a former model and football player, has always been interested in expressions of physical strain and release. This coincides quite nicely with the work Björk has produced lately, namely her album Medúlla, which was composed entirely of human voices--singing, coughing, grunting, and beatboxing. The intersection of these two artistic geniuses comes at precisely the right time, when Björk has cast off the last vestiges of her dance-floor self. To understand how remarkable a transformation this is, one might try to imagine what it would have been like if Donna Summers had turned into Yoko Ono.
There are instances of Björk's vocal soundscapes on this album, in the unsettling "Pearl" and the rainy and overdubbed opening of "Storm." Other tracks, filled to overflowing with bells and chimes, recall her most beautiful work on Vespertine. It used to be that Björk could chill the spine with a howl. Now she does it with a whisper, and these soft and haunting moments are what reward repeat listenings. With the music she produced for the soundtrack to Dancer in the Dark, Björk followed a more or less traditional narrative thread, stringing the songs together in such a way that one could follow a story even without having seen the movie. It's not quite that simple with Drawing Restraint 9. Without seeing the film, the music suggests a fascination with oceans, Japanese ritual, and the hidden powers of nature. It's spellbinding and confusing music, hinting at greater art to come from two artists of intense creativity and passion. --Ryan Boudinot

Bjork.......2007-05-04
This is a collection of pieces Bjork did for Matt Barney's film titled 'Drawing Restraint 9.' It is much more sparse than her other work, and seems disconnected from her catalouge because of it. That is not to say it is not worth listening to; there certainly are 'moments of shine' in the album. But people starting out on Bjork might want to hear her other albums first, particularly the one which contains the 'moments of shine' lyric: 'Vespertine'
bjork free from pop restraints?.......2007-03-26
i sure hope so! this album/soundtrack is good. it's nice to see an artist take off the glove of pop conformity to create straight-up art for art's sake. if you get bored by this album take some ritalin and chill;there is a time and place for everything. most people couldn't listen to this cd like her other cds:might not want it on the subway or other noisy/hectic situations. PERFECT for walks,the beach,fishing,watching rain,etc. you wouldn't wear a tux to a rodeo;you wouldn't play this at a rodeo.
Why??.......2007-01-10
Yes, I give it 5 stars just because it is Bjork and she can never disappoint me.
I wanted simply to post to say that the people who dismiss this as crap, as well as those who feel that they can comment on what kind of music she made compared to what she makes now are totally missing the point of artistic expression. BJORK IS NOT A POP ARTIST! Get the point. She makes music/art for herself and it is her expression... Whether you like it or not, it is valid as continuation of Bjork's personal pursuit to create.
While many may feel that she has completely left the building, there are many who feel inspired by her willingness to leave the ipodability consideration in the trash is reason enough to applaud the work. Bjork is never strange for strange sake, but neither is she confined by popular opinion or conventions.
KUDOS, my Sister... you are a true hero and we love you...
Listen to it - This is music.......2006-11-25
When I read the Justin A. Kyle comments, it just made me want to say this: you may or may not be a Bjork fan, just listen to this record. It is meant to be a soundtrack, not something they eventually would play on your radio (otherwise just stick to Madonna and Britney). Of course, I guess it requires a little brains, which is not so common here, is it?
I guess not. For those who want to go with the flow, do not buy this cd, for those who are a little more adventurous, give it a try. But again it is not some kind of McDonald's or cheap diner music.
absolutly horrible! (and I'm a big Bjork Fan).......2006-11-14
I love almost everything that Bjork does. Ive seen her get more and more eccentric over the years, but I normally enjoy what she comes up with as she evolves artisticlly. But this CD is too much. Its really, really bad. She only sings on like 3 songs- the rest are (what Im assuming) people grunting to bell chimes. I dont get what she's going for, and I dont understand why she and her record company decided to publish this junk.

Slow and Beautiful Indie Pop Deserves Bigger Following.......2005-07-18
Arco is a trio from London writing sad, melancholy songs that are compared to Nick Drake and Belle & Sebastian. Believe it or not, their songs are slightly wispier and slower. One thing for sure, their songs are consistently beautiful and melodic. If you're looking for powerful, riveting emotional rock, don't look here. If you're looking for sleepy music, along the lines of the Red House Painters, then you've found the right band. If you like this aching folk music, you might want to check out some of the slow songs of Camera Obscura and Cherry Orchard and all of the songs by the equally folksy Flower Machine.

You people spelled Zac's name wrong!
Frisk is greats!!!!.......2004-05-31
Excellent album from Jesse Luscious of Blatz & The Criminals, Hunter from AFI, Zach Hunter from Nerve Agents & Fury 66, and Mike Sexxx from the Criminals. Their cover of The Clash's "Know Your Rights" is really good. This will greatly appeal to fans of the members other bands, especially The Criminals.
just an addendum.......2001-10-16
Hunter plays drums, not bass and Zack is not the same Zack as from the last Criminals album, it's Zack from the Nerve Agents. And Mike Sexxx just quit the band. Very, very, very good. Even a Criminals cover!!
if you liked the criminals you will like The Frisk.......2001-08-21
Basically the same people that were in the criminals with the addition of hunter from AFI. cd is excellent would recommend to anyone who liked the sound of the criminals before they broke up. excellent....would recommend to anyone who likes punk rawk

Album Description
This soundtrack is composed by Björk with minimal vocals for celebrated contemporary visual artist Matthew Barney's next film Drawing Restraint 9. Unlike her soundtrack for Lars von Trier's film Dancer in the Dark which drew on the tradition of theatrical and cinema musicals (and won her Best Actress at Cannes), this is a collection of delicate single instrument studies for harp, harpsichord and celeste; large orchestral masses scored for trumpet, trombone and oboe, electronic basslines, children's choir and, in a manner recalling the all-vocal Medulla album, Björk's singular voice, treated as an instrument of astonishingly flexible texture. One Little Indian. 2005.
Customer Reviews:
Not a "Björk" Album.......2005-08-28
Entering this soundtrack its helpful to know that this isn't a Vespertine or a Homogenic, or any of her other solo albums, its music for an art film. Half of it is instrumental, and only three tracks features Björk's voice. The opener, Gratitude, features vocals from Will Oldham (the Palace Brothers) and haunting lyrics inspired by a real thank-you letter from a Japanese citizen to General Mac Arthur. The third track, Ambergris March, is a beautiful arrangement with the harpsichord, maybe the best song the soundtrack.
Björk adds some shock to the album on track eight with Storm, formerly Nameless, a song she only sang on tour before. The album version is actually 5 live performances pieced together, and Leila uses Björk's voice samples to repeat and loop for the background, much like the concept behind Medulla.
This isn't Björk's best work, but she manages to capture Japanese spirit and a Japanese score for Matthew's film. Of course it lacks the limitless interest of her voice that her previous albums had, but again, this isn't "one of her albums", its her project for an art film.
beyond words.......2005-08-25
this album is incredible. if you have any avante-garde blood in you, this album will blow you away. it is not pop! if you want debut or post, don't look here. but if you want something like homogenic, or even something better than medulla, this is the album. there is an excellent noh singer on holographic entrypoint. it takes me to ancient japan everytime. think where bjork is trying to take you with the music. there are excellent horn sections as well as breath taking vocals. i haven't written any other reviews but i felt i should say that this is an excellent album for brave listeners who want something interesting. anyone who says it is bad just doesn't understand it.
Not for the Casual Listener.......2005-08-15
Honestly, fans of Bjork who are hoping for a massive return to the styles of pre-Medulla will probably be disappointed by this latest project. But judged on its own merits Drawing Restraint 9 remains an intriguing, but still somewhat forgettable experience. Bjork's trademark icy vocals take a backseat to Eastern influenced instrumentation. Aside from three tracks, the singing is performed by guest artists. "Pearl" sounds like an extension of "Ancestors" with its forceful, grating throat singing. Others simply come off as a bit dull and spiritless. They don't seem to have much blood in them. However, "Storm" is one recognizable highlight that evokes the chaotic rumbles of Homogenic. It's a fantastic version of a song that Bjork has only performed live up until now. I can't say this is a soundtrack that I will hold on to for a while, but it's something that's certainly worth a listen.
A welcome return to her roots.......2005-08-13
This statement may sound strange considering this is a soundtrack for a film involving a sizable dose of Japanese history. But a closer look at this often stunning record reveals traces of several of Bjork's early sonic explorations and passions. She has stated on many occasions that she produced music for Icelandic film projects as a young adult. These soundtracks, according to her, were often comprised of percussive and vocal experimentations. This could easily describe a broad facet of the music of "Drawing Restraint 9".
Her voice is only audible in three of the disc's eleven tracks; this soundtrack is Bjork at her pure "researcher" best. She does an admirable job of weaving traditional Japanese and European instruments with subtle (and occasionally hardcore) electronic programming. With the exception of one track, "Holographic entrypoint", the music is not overtly "Japanese" sounding, but Bjork's research of traditional Japanese compositions is quietly integrated into the work as a whole.
This soundtrack includes delicate pieces for single instruments such as the sho, harp, celeste, and harpsichord ("Pearl", "Ambergris march", "Shimenawa", "Cetacea", "Antarctic return"), all of which have been arranged and performed beautifully. There are also two tracks ("Hunter vessel", "Vessel shimenawa") with stark orchestral arrangements for brass (trumpet, trombone) and oboe, which would have made Stanley Kubrick proud to put in one of his films.
Of these more instrumental pieces, "Pearl", which also features "Medulla"-collaborator, Tagaq, stands out as the most effortlessly gorgeous and intricate composition. It is incredible to see how many facets of Tagaq's throat-singing Bjork has been able to capture in her recent recordings. Though "Medulla"'s Tagaq showpiece, "Ancestors", has some truly heartwrenching passages (particularly the final minute of the track), the arrangement was not nearly as tight, consistent, and well-executed as it is here on "Pearl".
The most challenging piece for most listeners will undoubtedly be "Holographic entrypoint", described on Bjork's website as having been "sung in the intonation patterns and low, growling vocal techniques of traditional Japanese court entertainment." It is not a piece that I will listen to frequently, but it is interesting. More importantly, I think this track -- more than any of the others -- fits best within the context of the film rather than as a casual cd track.
The work throughout is superb. There are two tracks that particularly stand out, both of which feature Bjork's unparalleled voice: "Bath" and "Storm". Bjork's vocal has rarely sounded this good. These two tracks (each very different from the other) are a reminder that her voice -- especially when paired with minimal production that allows her voice it's proper prominence -- is a truly amazing instrument with highly flexible and expressive timbres.
"Bath" takes Bjork's vocal layering work on "Medulla" to another level altogether. Her voice on this track is like an opiate that surrounds and seduces the listener with every breath. Strangely enough, there seem to be traces of Middle Eastern scale progressions throughout the track. This piece is breathtaking; possibly Bjork's most exquisite all-vocal arrangement to date.
"Storm", on the other hand, hits you like a truck. The programming by Leila and arranging by Bjork are absolutely intense and physical. We don't see this Bjork often enough. This is the Bjork we have seen glimpses of with tracks like "Where is the Line", "Pluto", and "Army of Me", but her vocal is used to much greater effect here on "Storm". From the second her first line is sung, one instantly notices that this a Bjork we haven't heard much of. Her voice is raw, volatile, agitated, and sent chills down my spine. Perhaps the period of Bjork's career in which her vocals most closely resemble these is her work in the 1980s with Kukl. The last time I recall Bjork collaborating with Leila is on the live version of "Enjoy", which she did on her Post tour. This also brought us a more menacing Bjork, though not to the extent of which we see here on Storm. One can only hope that these two very gifted artists work on more projects together in the near future.
Other highlights include the intricate, textured percussion on "Ambergris march", the sho arrangements written by Bjork and performed by Mayumi Miyata, and the layered instrumentation of celeste, harp, digital programming, and keyboard, on "Gratitude" (though Will Oldham's vocal doesn't work quite as well).
Some Bjork fans are growing weary of her recent experimentations; some want the "Homogenic" or even "Post" Bjork back. I suppose one could say that there are many fans of 90s Bjork. As many people know, however, Bjork's recording career began in 1977. There probably isn't a single person who thinks every single Bjork project or song is great, but there are those who have enjoyed how far she has reached and how much she has developed and explored as an artist. When looking at Bjork's nearly 30-year musical career as a whole, one will find that this soundtrack is an admirable, stunning, and beautifully executed project that shows the artist reaching new heights as a composer, vocalist, and producer. As long as she's alive, I'm sure that Bjork will continue to produce compelling, beautiful, challenging music that will undoubtedly veer more toward a pop sensibility from time to time when it feels right to her.

Björk
Music From The Drawing Restraint 9
This is a soundtrack composed by Björk with minimal vocals for celebrated contemporary visual artist Matthew Barney's next film Drawing restraint 9, in which she also appears.
The soundtrack music uses a combination of many instruments such as the harp, harpsichord and celeste, trumpet, trombone and oboe, electronic basslines, and children's choir. The collection of songs also seems to bring the best of both worlds from Vespertine and Medulla in terms of the whimsical bells of the former (Ambergris March and Cetacea) and the human beatbox of the latter (the Japanese-infused Pearl, Shimenawa and the 10-minute Holographic Entrypoint). On the poignant opener Gratitude, Will Oldham sings with much raw emotion that tinkers.
The songs put together do exude a weird quality but is unquestionably a very accomplished masterpiece, though not music to everyone's ears. Those who get it will be greatly rewarded, no less. (A)
