Homogenic Tracklist
Considered by various sources to be one of the best albums of all time, and the best of the year along with Radiohead’s OK Computer, Björk’s third solo studio effort saw the light in late 1997, and received universal acclaim, and good worldwide sales, selling more than a million copies in the US by 2004 (so it went platinum) and more than 2,5 million copies worldwide.
This album juxtaposes the organic with the electronic, and was mostly produced and written by Björk with some help from Mark Bell, Sjón, Howie B, Guy Sigsworth, among others.
These are the words that Björk used to describe Homogenic:
• Icelandic/cosmopolitan
• Contrast
• Patriotic
• Warrior
• Confrontational
• Green
• Volcanic Beats
• Iceland Octet
• Active

What else did Björk release during the Homogenic era?
During the Homogenic era, Björk released 5 singles from 1997 to 1999: “Jóga”, “Bachelorette”, “Hunter”, “Alarm Call", and “All Is Full Of Love”, all featuring remixes, alternate versions, and B sides/unreleased tracks that didn’t make the album. The latter single also saw a collaborative release with Funkstörung.
In 1998, Björk released Live At Shepherds Bush Empire, a concert VHS recorded in 1997 featuring songs from Debut and Post.
Later that year, she released Volumen on VHS (and on DVD in 1999), a compilation of all of her music videos from her past three albums. This compilation marked the first time she started working with photographers Inez and Vinoodh and designers M/M (Paris), who she would continue working with throughout her career.
