SummersRadio™ New Remixes! Bjork - 'Crystalline' (Omar Souleyman Version - Antoniu Markis Refix)

Bjork has released not one, not two, but three new remix singles/ EP's on itunes today! There are two new EP's under the title of 'The Crystalline Series' - one called the 'Omar Souleyman Versions' and one called the 'Matthew Herbert Mixes'. And there's also a new EP for the song 'Cosmogony' also called the 'Matthew Herbert Mixes'. Across the three EP's there are a total of 9 tracks - 4 different songs (including two tracks not featured on 'Biophilia' - released on September 27th) and 6 remixes - let's break them down...

The first new EP of 'The Crystalline Series' - the 'Omar Souleyman Versions' features remixes of 'Crystalline' and two b-side tracks called 'Tesla', and 'Mawal'.

Omar Souleyman is a musician from Syria who performs traditional Middle Eastern songs in Kurdish and Arabic. He's released 'around' 500 studio and live albums! If you're a huge Bjork fan who buys all of her releases imagine how costly it would be to buy all of Omar's! 80% of his releases are recorded at weddings which are presented to the married couple - then they are later copied and sold at local kiosks. This is his remix of 'Crystalline'... Enjoy!

The second new EP in 'The Crystalline Series' - the 'Matthew Herbert Mixes' features mixes of 'Crystalline' - the 'Matthew Herbert Mix' and the 'Matthew Herbert Instrumental Mix'. Thus far only 30 second previews are available for both this and Herbert's remixes of 'Cosmogony' - so first here's a preview of his remix of 'Crystalline' (I will post full versions when they become available)...

The third new EP is for the song 'Cosmogony' - which features 4 mixes of that song - two under that title - and two under the name of 'Cosmogony 2'. Each one features a 'Matthew Herbert Mix' and a 'Matthew Herbert Instrumental Mix'. Here's a preview of 'Matthew Herbert's Mix' of 'Cosmogony'...

SummersRadio™ New Music! Bjork!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Bjork - 'Crystalline' I mentioned a couple weeks ago when I posted two Bjork 'teaser videos' that I would post the new song in full when it becomes available - and so here we have the full length version of her new single 'Crystalline'! 'Crystalline' is the first single from her forthcoming seventh studio album called 'Biophilia' - which is due for release on Sept. 26th. The song starts off quietly with the focus on her vocals until some minimal beats come in at about 50 seconds in - which carries you along dreamily until a sudden explosion of drum machine fireworks madness shakes you awake in the last minute...
Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ Music News! Bjork!

SummersRadio™ Music News! Bjork! Well yesterday we featured a teaser video from Grandaddy and today we have not one, but two teaser video's from Iceland's Bjork! Bjork's seventh studio album is called 'Biophilia' and is going to be the world's first 'app album' - a collaboration with Apple that will be released via 10 iPad apps! Thus far there is no confirmed date for a physical release of the album - although the first single 'Crystalline' is schedule for release on June 30th.

Bjork will be performing songs from the album at a series of concerts in Manchester between June 22nd and July 16th. The performances will include special instruments designed specifically for the shows, including "custom-built digitally controlled pipe organs, a gamelan-celeste hybrid and a 30-foot pendulum that harnesses the planet's gravitational pull to create musical patterns." Not your run of the mill rock show then - but then Bjork has never settled for ordinary.

This first teaser video is entitled 'Road To Crystalline' and it features Bjork driving down the highway listening to a portion of the first single 'Crystalline'... Enjoy!



This second teaser video was released online today just a few hours ago and is called 'Gameleste' - and it features the specially designed gameland-celeste hybrid. A gameland is a set of instruments built together as one unit that usually features xylophones, flutes, gongs and strings - and a celeste is somewhat similar to a piano. This is 'Gameleste'... Enjoy!



It looks like these instruments will be as exciting to watch on stage as Bjork herself! I will of course post full songs when they become available - and that's enough 'teasing' for this week - my next post will contain only a full song (or songs) - Cheers!
