Okay well thats all i could think of off the top of my head and alphabetize.
Soo Björk If you Read the 4um I'd LOVE any collabs with any of these artists so thanks!

[wereduck]

Sift through and tell me what you think.

A lot of great artists in there (I'd really love a Massive Attack remix), some of them having a lot of common ground with , but some simply don't feel like they're on the same planet as her.
For instance, Kylie... She's been doing the same let's dance! and dance can be a metaphor for love! songs for the past 15 years, hitting a new low with Sexercize on her latest album. I just don't see what she could bring on the table in a collaboration with except sultry vocals...

Also, Moby and will never work together. He already asked her, and she said no, and he was offended. I can't find the exact quote, but he was really dismissive about her after she rejected his offer to "jam" and do a... "metal" album together? Something along those lines.
Does anyone remember what I'm talking about and can post the exact quote with a source?

I love her music but I see your point on that. I was thinking 90s early 2000s kylie when I put her. I have not heard her new album yet unfortunately.

Whoa that sounds interesting. I'd like to get deets on this as well. I love his music that's too bad.

[wereduck]

If you ever do, don't skip the bonus tracks and b-sides. Sparks, Golden Boy and Crystallize are better than almost every song that ended up on the album. Actually Golden Boy is even better than most of Aphrodite for me... Unfortunately, it's a vinyl only track.

[m.thr.n]

Don't get me wrong, there are some nice choices here - a Björk track (co-)produced by Battles, Boards of Canada, Flying Lotus, Nosaj Thing or even Nguzunguzu would be great! - but didn't you just basically copy-and-paste your music library? If not, please elaborate how do you see Björk working with the likes of Florence + the Machine, Lady Gaga, Tame Imapala, Death Cab for Cutie or f*cking Birdy. What exactly could they bring to the table? I don't think they have one musical bone in their bodies in common.

[Smörgås]

A Massive Attack collaboration would be great. New World could easily have been Massive Attack and she's had a crack at trip-hop, mainly in Homogenic.

[LoveGood]

^ I still think her best trip-hop track is Isobel SO.F***ING.TRIPPY

i knew 46 of them
some of them, i can see happing
a few others though, we can keep dreaming

[Mueacyl]

but didn't you just basically copy-and-paste your music library? If not, please elaborate how do you see Björk working with the likes of Florence + the Machine, Lady Gaga, Tame Imapala, Death Cab for Cutie or f*cking Birdy. What exactly could they bring to the table? I don't think they have one musical bone in their bodies in common.

Well I use spotify and just used my artist page (1500+) to inspire me. Only picked the ones I could see a collab from.
I would've said the same about Dirty Projectors prior to MWO (I hated them at that time) But now I love them and all their albums.

I see it as not having to have Similar Production ability or Use of lyrical art but rather where they can have a common ground on musical inspiration and appreciation. That's how any idea of a album is created. When you can see yourself as gifting the world joy with the sound you made that is special to you. They are all good and respectable artists in their own category. Just cause you don't appreciate their style doesn't mean nothing good can come from them just even contributing to her music.

I mean, Death cab for cutie covered AIFOL. I could see them trying their hardest to make something memorable with her like Dirty projectors did. Even if the lack of a "muscial bone" came as a problem I wouldn't worry cause björk would be all the bones they need. Heck, it could even be a learning experience for them if it were ever to happen! To discover something about yourself musically that you wouldn't have otherwise without inspiration from someone outside your genre.

[rastafa_88]

A step into future maybe?

Our vanguard product, DreamScreen3000, is a transparent touch screen for DJ's and composers that will provide a projected image of the software onto a transparent touch screen creating a “floating image” or holographic effect. Users can organize their songs, drag them onto the appropriate deck, mix, scratch, save, and edit using a highly visual touch user interface that displays their creativity on a transparent screen that makes the image appear to be “floating on air” in front of the audience.

[faber]

^our? Are you behind this invention? If so... it looks incredibly cool! And something a straightforward artist like Björk could use!

No I got nothing to do with this one... here's a youtube clip www.youtube.com/watch?v=KaMpHE99cI0

[Agamemnon]

^That's one of the coolest things I've ever seen! I hope is able to use something like this in a future project.

[Leafonthewind]

Linda Perhacs!

"The incredible story of the dental hygienist Linda Perhacs who as a young woman in 1970 published a groundbreaking album which nobody noticed. Half a century later she discovered that it had gone worldwide on the Internet."

Interview :

That stuff is really nice! Thanks for sharing.

If not, please elaborate how do you see Björk working with the likes of Florence + the Machine, Lady Gaga, Tame Imapala, Death Cab for Cutie or f*cking Birdy.

I think you missed the hardest collaboration of them all tbh

Joy Division

That would require some impressive new technology.

Anyway, you never know with . After all she did collaborate with Timbaland... and I liked the results, too.

[wereduck]

Even if the world didn't experience it that way, their collaborative session came before Nelly Furtado's platinum piece of shit album which basically ruined Timbaland's reputation (for some, including myself).

[p.maybe]

techno bjork

bjork and swedish duo SHXCXCHCXSH

I didn't know this. I was a bit standoffish of Volta for this very reason.

[...] They are all good and respectable artists in their own category. Just cause you don't appreciate their style doesn't mean nothing good can come from them just even contributing to her music.

I'm not saying they're bad artists. I mean, I looove Tame Impala but I just can't see Björk working with a psychedelic band, for instance. Dirty Projectors actually share a lot of melodic sensibilities with Björk (I mean both leading melodies and arrangements/countermelodies), so the collaboration wasn't that unlikely - at least I wasn't surprised at all.

It definitely would be interesting to hear Björk singing over Tame Impala's instrumentals but in my opinion it's just highly improbable. I just don't hear the 'common musical ground' between them (AGAIN - my subjective opinion), and I know that Björk is not really into retro stuff.

On the other hand, some of the producers you mentioned are way more likely choices, given her tastes. Björk and FlyLo? Yes please.

I think you missed the hardest collaboration of them all tbh

Joy Division

That would require some impressive new technology.

Yeah, missed that one. But then again, Björk considered using/sampling posthumously Billie McKenzie's vocals (from The Associates) for Medúlla.

[Erik]

I think a Lykke Li collab would be cool.

[wereduck]

I think a Lykke Li collab would be cool.

I'm not a fan of her big hit(s?), but I'm Waiting Here with David Lynch is amazing.

[far & away]

Lady Gaga

[Dot]

Janelle Monáe, James Blake, Fiona Apple and Kate Bush
PLEASE

[LoveGood]

Lady Gaga

At least they have the passion for wigs in common

[faber]

^Gaga looks strangely great with that wig

^^Björk ft. Kate NEEDS to happen! Let's hope B stalked Kate to the backstage at her concert

[LoveGood]

^Gaga looks strangely great with that wig

At first I thought she was Amy Winehouse

^^Björk ft. Kate NEEDS to happen! Let's hope B stalked Kate to the backstage at her concert

Definitely, waiting for "When Björk met Bush (and not George W. )"

[rastafa_88]

''This is the first ever composition for The Great Stalacpipe Organ, the largest musical instrument in the world, located deep in the caverns of Luray, Virginia. The Organ consists of hand-tuned ancient stalactites of varying sizes that are hit with solenoid-actuated rubber mallets. The mallets are controlled by a custom made pipe organ console. It took us over six years of research and planning so you could enjoy these two minutes of unique sounds in the comfort of your dry, warm home.''

I would love if she would compose and do a track with the great stalacpipe organ.

[BioBassBoom]

I'm still on the idea of do a collaboration with either Erykah Badu, Macy Gray, or Missy Elliott (imagine that video)...

[Smörgås]

I think Missy Elliot would work really well. They both love electronic and distorted beats.

[motheroceania]

Ooo those all sound good (: I wonder if they got similar connects. I could see something from them being a chart topper.

[berryjona]

Mine happened already: mike patton

[berryjona]

Eric whitacre would be cool

[Peterican]

I thought of a really good one a few days ago.. Then I forgot. Maybe if I listen to "Recently Played" on my playlist enough, the collaboration will pop up again.

[bloodpool]

Daft Punk, Kanye West, FKA Twigs, and Amy Lee are my top picks.

[breakbeat]

FEVER RAY! would match Arca's sound too.

[rastafa_88]

Röyksopp and Mika Vainio and Kemialliset Ystävät < I know she likes them because she was on their gig in Iceland.

[m.thr.n]

I know she likes them because she was on their gig in Iceland.

You mean the last band you mentioned? What are they? Did you see her at their concert? When?

[raheejy101]

FEVER RAY! would match Arca's sound too.

I would enjoy this collab!

[rastafa_88]

I know she likes them because she was on their gig in Iceland.

You mean the last band you mentioned? What are they? Did you see her at their concert? When?

Yes Kemialliset Ystävät they are actually quite famous in Iceland they play kinda weird avant-garde music with visuals. They did even Iceland Airwaves 2-3 times already and been there on just gigs as well. I know the guy who helps them to do the visuals and the guys from the band told him 2-3 years ago that Björk was on their gig and asked them at the after-show did one beat come from recording while walking on snow? And they said yes and then Björk said we got something in common! Because she did that on ''Aurora''. But I don't know the people from the band at all because they live in North-Finland.
