Information about Björk pages
Björk Guðmundsdóttir Main Page
Present and future development of pages
These Björk-pages are to be seen as an addition to other
WWW-pages related to Björk. I've put in stuff that
I think would be interesting to Björk-fans like me.
In this version there are three different topics for you to look into :
* Interviews
* Discography
* Picture links
Questions/corrections/suggestions are very much appreciated
by me, so if you got one or two, please e-mail me.
Development software and hardware
All pages are made in Microsoft Windows 95 enviroment and
using Netscape 1.22 as browser. A HP ScanJet IIcx was used
for the scans. Any additional pictures and video-grabbings are
done with a Creative VideoBlaster SE and a videocamera.
Pictures converted/drawn/edited using Aldus PhotoStyler 2.0.
Credit to the picture on this page
The picture of Björk in this page is a scan of the booklet
from the limited edition CD single of "Big Time Sensuality" (One
Little Indian 132tp7cdl). Photographs by Juergen Teller. Some
copies of this record have the pictures in a different order.
Björk Pages : Discography
None of the text lists or pictures of records are Sugarcubes related.
See my Sugarcubes pages for info.
The album-pages are arranged like this:
...with Björk before "Debut" - This page contain records that has
solo- or band stuff with Björk before she did "Debut".
...with Björk starting from "Debut" - The same as above, but then
starting from the release of "Debut".
...with "...featuring Björk" - pages including records were Björk
appears as a guest singer.
Little record collectors guide
I use "Big Time Sensuality" as an example here to show the differences
that the releases have. The European release of it has the original edit
and three mixes on it. There's also a 2-track version with a sleeve cover. In the
UK you get the limited edition. It has some really nice pictures in the booklet
and record which includes 7 mixes of the track. In the US there's still
other releases in digipack cover, and a double 12"-vinyl. In the US and UK
you also have cassingles. And there's also the promos.
So if you want to/are collecting you probably have guessed that it is very
hard work to get hold of all the releases as there are different released in
every part of the world, and different tracks too!!!
It's specially fustrating when you want a record that has some unreleased stuff
on it, and it's only published in a country very far away from you.
If you wanna have all the records/vinyls/cassettes/promos linked to
to "Debut" album you probably have to spend about 1500 USD (if you don't
have the right connections). So, it's either not start collecting, or selling
your computer. ;-)
About the pictures
All subpages to this one includes pictures of some of the records
in the text-list. As many of the record covers look almost the
same, I've only put the different/rare ones on the pages. They
are all thumbnails with about a hight of 120 pixels, and are in
16, 32 or 64 colors, but most are in 16. All of them are (or
should be ;-) ) interlaced.If you would like to see the bigger
picture, just click on the picture you want to see. The bigger
pictures are 24 bit color JPEGs and have a size around 30-60 kb,
although there are some that are bigger. All cover pictures are
stored locally. The bigger pictures can be removed from the
local disk without notice (there's still no hard limit on my account).

Björk Pages : Interviews
The interviews
There's only one TV-interview which I've transcribed. The
rest are interviews which I have found on the net, typed in from
magazines. On some of the interview-pages there are picture
links to scans that are present on different ftp-sites.
Copyrights
Note that all of the interviews are present here without permission. If
someone should find it inappropriate of me to have these
interviews as Web-pages, viewable to everyone with a WWW-
browser and InterNet access, please e-mail me about it. I just wanted
to share these interviews with other fans.
Björk Pages : Picture links
The links
Subpages to this one have links to pictures located on ftp-sites
ftp.uwp.edu and ice.paragon.co.uk. There's only thumbnails of these
pictures locally. They are all (of course) small with a maximum
height/width of 100 pixels, and are only in 16 colors. If you would
like to get the real pictures, just click on the ftp-site you want to
download the picture from. The ice.paragon.co.uk site is situated on
a PC computer that might be hard to access as someone is working on
during the day. :-)
Picture(s) with a yellow ball in front of it are at ftp-sites, but red
balls indicate that the picture(s) are stored locally.
