Björk sets out to milk… sorry, give her fans an amazing treat
As well as composing some of the most idiosyncratic electronic music extant, Björk also has a penchant for releasing ever-more elaborate and exhaustive box sets to part her more besotted fans from their hard-earned cash.
Voltaic is a fine case in point. A two-CD, two-DVD, three-vinyl-album extravaganza, it features highlights from her two-year world tour promoting 2007 album Volta, a recording of an exclusive private concert in London the same year, every video made for the album and a selection of esoteric remixes.
There is no doubt it is a beautiful artefact and thousands of notoriously devoted Björkophiles will doubtless feel the need to own four remixes of Innocence and three of the mighty Declare Independence (the Matthew Herbert mix is a corker). Whether they will feel it worth parting with close on £40 for the privilege will be another question entirely.
