The title would have been entirely appropriate (as, indeed, is Vespertine, meaning "pertaining to the evening"). Ever since 1993's vital, effusive Debut, Björk's music has been increasingly intimate, gently private and concerned with seclusion. It's typical then that Vespertine's first single was called "Hidden Place". The studious solitude is rewarding, though. Vespertine is a lush, gorgeous swell of mid-pace electronica, symphonic strings and Björk's uniquely alien, spectral vocal. There are fantastical wonders here. "Cocoon" (another eulogy to withdrawal from the world) is delicate as a breath, Björk sounding too fragile to be flesh as she lauds "a beauty this immense". "Pagan Poetry" and "Aurora", likewise, are adrift in an enchanted reverie. When she chooses, she crafts killer tunes: "It's Not up to You" is as lovely as anything on Post. Yet frequently, on such tracks as the yearning, glancing "Undo", Björk seems to be simply thinking aloud, revelling in this wildly rich and visceral music. She's reclaimed cutting-edge electronica, so often the province of geeks and technicians, for the poets and the passionate. Vespertine is a landmark, a revelation, a truly fabulous achievement. --Ian Gittins Review: Excellent - Superb,after the house fire I was glad to find a new copy and cheap for physical media Review: A magical musical box of delights - For years, I just didn’t get Björk. That squealing voice, the kooky image, the single “It’s oh so quiet” that split opinion. Björk was definitely a marmite artist. Then I stumbled across Vesperine and was instantly hooked. Maybe I’m getting a bit more tolerant in my old age but within seconds of hearing this album I fell in love with it - and with Björk. Vesperine is a jewelled musical box of music and Bjork is the ballerina spinning around inside the box when you turn the key. Clever use of electronica, found sounds, synthesizers, strings, harps, bells - and a massed female choir on several tracks - create an otherworldly sound, like you’ve been enticed by a siren to enter a universe of Bjork’s dreams and imagination. Vesperine is an exquisite collection of great songs, sumptuously arranged and performed, the like of which you’ll probably never come across again . ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00005NSXL | | Best Sellers Rank | 6,742 in CDs & Vinyl ( See Top 100 in CDs & Vinyl ) 24 in Trip Hop 68 in Electronica 574 in Alternative Rock | | Country of origin | United Kingdom | | Customer reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (304) | | Is discontinued by manufacturer | No | | Item model number | 43168-3545 | | Label | One Little Indian | | Manufacturer | One Little Indian | | Number of discs | 1 | | Original Release Date | 2001 | | Product Dimensions | 12.4 x 14.2 x 1 cm; 108.58 g | ## Images ![Vespertine - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91Ot7nLQ6zL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent *by R***D on 14 February 2026* Superb,after the house fire I was glad to find a new copy and cheap for physical media ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A magical musical box of delights *by O***E on 15 December 2018* For years, I just didn’t get Björk.
