Originally released in 1995, after Debut's
success, the pressure was on Björk to surpass that album's creative, tantalizing electronic pop. She more than delivered with 1995's Post
; from the menacing, industrial-tinged opener, Army of Me,
it's clear that this album is not simply Debut
redux. The songs' production and arrangements - especially those of the epic, modern fairy tale Isobel
- all aim for, and accomplish, more. Post
also features Debut
producer Nellee Hooper, 808 State's Graham Massey, Howie B, and Tricky, who help Bjork incorporate a spectrum of electronic and orchestral styles into songs like Hyperballad
, which sounds like a love song penned by Aphex Twin. Meanwhile, the bristling beats on the volatile, sensual Enjoy
and the fragile, weightless ballad Possibly Maybe
nod to trip-hop without being overwhelmed by it.
