I miss the bsides too...

Anyway i was still thinking about the petition and while i do agree it's not a project björk has chosen to do, i think oli might suggest her the idea. I think anartist like her is usually looking at the future so that means creating new music. It is not common an artist decides to look back at her catalogue of variations and unreleased music.
So hopefully one day this may happen (fingers crossed) :)

the only project from this list i have hope to be released in a somewhat near future is the collab with meredith monk, aside from that, björk herself doesn't even acknowledges these unreleased stuff too often so let alone release them... maybe in some decades when sindri decides to make bank off her mom's music
i could see it as a big project like family tree, with different versions of songs or unreleased songs.for example, putting different versions together would give a new perspective of "reality", like a polyhedron. polyhedrica as a title haha.
yeah i've thought about something in that vein as well, something like family tree but with more instruments sections: a "choir" cd, a "organ" cd, a "flutes" cd and so on, but honestly i'm happy with whatever we get

What makes you think she'll leave the managing of her work to her children instead of a special "only release the same things in different colors in perpetuity" trust?

how about a "destroy every recording you have. We have milked them enough."

she could release the recordings of the reykjavík leg of the orkestral shows for that. They would be such a treat! The choir night was one of her best concerts ever if you ask me.

"Bjork's keyboardist has contacted World Central. Bjork is planning torecord an album of covers and is considering "Mary" from the RF solo album"Exposure" (1979). Would I mind? No. Actually, I'd be honoured"

in her old website meesterfly said she recorded a cover of "jericho" by joni mitchell together with "the boho dance", so i assume this covers album was done around 1999 with guy gigsworth??

if i could bet on some other songs she would cover i'd say "my only child" by nico, "veil like calm" by eyeless in gaza, maybe something by kate bush ?

ages ago she was rumoured to have recorded kate bush’s “moving”—not sure how reliable this was but then again, “the boho dance” was also only a rumour until it appeared on that compilation a few years later. “jericho” seems also like a probable pick, she apparently loves don juan’s reckless daughter

she was also sent some vocal stems by billy mackenzie’s father and if i remember correctly she tried to do some sort of duet/cover/rework of “no” but backed out out of respect (which i think she admitted in some interview—perhaps a deep dive into the bjork.fr press archive would help)

Marsera Minn was My March by The Sugarcubes,totally different song. Human Behaviour was originally titled Murder zfor ztwo in the 1991 sessions but was scrapped. And the Sktattan song is Delicious Demon.

yup
- ancestress remix by lsdxoxo
just a rumour i think, some people assumed this because sega bodega, sideproject and lsdxoxo dj'ed at the fossora release party in london in 2022, and the first two premiered their remixes there, so it was assumed that lsdxoxo would also make a remix for the third single. honestly a lsdxoxo remix of ancestress would be really odd lol
- oral remix by rabit
i think this is going to be an unofficial remix, i don't think he would announce working with björk before an official announcement
- digital remixes of fossoræ deluxe boxset
i don't think this was ever promised, apparently they added on spotify by accident, but who knows
- cornucopia & orkestral movie
i don't think an orkestral film was ever confirmed...

i would add to the "upcoming releases" the supposed remastered boxset, it was also said there is more stuff being worked on, we just don't know what yet...

after over 3 years since i first started making this list i think i am almost finishing it

i'm currently working on putting sources on everything

enjoy the updates, whoever finds this :)

i need help on the following:
- does anyone know more about the post album leak?
- in 2014/2015 someone posted (i think on instagram) a image of 2 demo cds, one of medúlla and one of vespertine, and the tracklist had a bunch of working titles (like bati=batabid, olympia sirens=oceania) and alternate mixes. it was just like a promo cd, it didn't have a design or anything. does anyone have this image?
- in 2013/2014 someone was selling a notebook by Björk on ebay. the image had a handwritten lyric in icelandic, i remember the title of the song was "nightlife #1" (in icelandic). does anyone have this image?

I still don’t know what this “lag hugmynd” (song idea) from 28 september 1998 is.

Björk’s diary note from the moma restrospective reads “sungið hátt í röddinni þannig að maður næstum nær ekki nótunum” (something like “sung so loudly that you can't even reach the notes”).
And the lyrics goes “give me the comfort even though it doesn’t feel right”.

I tried the notes on my piano and it doesn’t sound like anything I know.

yes! i'm actually currently working on transcribing every notebook displayed in the moma exhibition. her handwriting is harddddd to understand sometimes (especially in cursive and icelandic). do you mind checking your pms? i would highly appreciate that :)

The song “Takk” made by Björk together with DJ Þórhallur Skúlason for the soundtrack of Óskar Jónasson’s movie “Sódóma Reykjavík” was originally meant to be on Debut and was remixed but the remixes never saw the light of the day.

I found this little interview with Þórhallur (aka Ajax) from June, 1992 with this titbit of information that I didn’t know:

"All the releases have been completed. One will be on the soundtrack of Sódóma Reykjavík, another on a foreign compilation album, then a 12-inch will be released with different mixes and then the song will be on Björk's solo album", says musician Þórhallur Skúlason. He and Björk Guðmundsóttir from The Sugarcubes have been working together recently and the result is the song “Takk fyrir” or “Thank you”. The song is by Þórhallur but the lyrics are by Björk and the song will soon be released on four albums but will never sound the same. "So people can buy all the albums". In England, compilation albums have been released under the name Volume and the song will be on Volume four or five, with no small groups having songs on these albums, only to mention bands like The Sugarcubes and REM.

This is technically Debut material - around the time The Sugarcubes were disbanding Björk was already looking for collaborators within the dance music scene to work with on her solo project (808 State, Simon Lovejoy, Þórhallur Skúlason...) while testing her electronic side with the remixer appearing on The Sugarcubes’ It’s-It album (Justin Robertson, Tony Humphries, Graham Massey, Todd Terry...). Ultimately, she settled on with Nellee Hooper for Debut and save up Massey for Post.
does anyone know the exact date she sang "no limit" in paris? and who is she playing with?
She sang it at a private party after the concert of French pianist Mattias Mimoun at Le Baron Club in France on 14/03/2007. It's all improvised, not really a performance - Björk was just having fun.
