This is an enhanced audio CD which contains regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files. Personnel: Bjork. "All Is Full of Love" was the final single released from Bjork's Homogenic album, and, amazingly, was issued as a domestic single in the U.S. The album version of "All Is Full of Love" consists of little more than Bjork's almost a cappella vocal layered over a keyboard, making it seem like an odd choice for a single. However, when remixed, this once-simple song achieves a whole new dimension, becoming fully realized and completely developed, resulting in one of the Icelandic singer's most engaging songs, warm and chilling all at once. The single comes with six different versions, as well as the song's amazing video. The "Video Version" and "Strings" versions are clearly the definitive, most realized mixes (the "Strings" version is the same as the video version, but with fuller string accompaniment). The "Plaid" mix is cool, smooth, and trippy, with different instrumentation highlighted by a highly effective flute accompaniment. The "Funkstorung Exclusive Mix" is probably the weakest mix, with Bjork's muffled vocals set against a dirty, futuristic, meandering beat. The final version, the Guy Sigsworth mix, incorporates a saxophone and a different beat, and is just as engaging as the "Plaid" mix. "All Is Full of Love" is a very simple song, but, because of its simplicity, seems to trigger something very basic and carnal, and these wonderful remixes, as well as the video, augment the song's effect. This is a fantastic single, taking an almost forgotten album track and developing it into a highly compelling, near-masterpiece of a song. ~ Jose F. Promis
