This Dual Disc format DVD includes the video "The Making of Medulla" as well as an audio advanced resolution 5.1 surround sound edition of Medulla. The video is an intimate behind the scenes documentary that gievs a unique insight into the making of Medulla. Filmed over the course of a year as Bjork recorded in New York, London, Reykjavik, The Canary Islands, Salvador and Brazil, the film gives a detailed portrait of the creative process behind the recording of one of Bjork's most daring albums to date. The documentary captures some of the raw improvised performances of Bjork and her collaborators as they put together a remarkable album that uses only human voices as instruments. Featuring Rahzel, Mike Patton, Sholomo, Tagaq, Dokaka and more!

Bjork's extraordinary new album, Medulla, is her seventh solo studio work, and first since 2001's Vespertine. Produced and arranged by Bjork (with co-production on four tracks by her frequent associate, Mark Bell), Medulla represents another landmark recording for one of modern music's most ingenious and inventive artists. The album sees Bjork exploring the rich potential and remarkable range of the human voice. Much of the collection features the inimitable singer performing over percussive beats created by some of today's masters of human beatboxing, including Japan's Dokaka, the UK's Shlomo, and former Roots member, Rahzel.

In addition to its unique voice-based backdrops, Medulla finds Bjork working with a stunningly eclectic variety of vocal collaborators, including Faith No More/Mr. Bungle frontman Mike Patton, Inuit throat singer Tagaq, classical singer/human trombonist Gregory Purnhagen (Philip Glass, Gavin Bryars), and two full choir groups: the Icelandic Choir and the London Choir. Among the collection's highlights is "Submarine," a powerful Bjork-penned duet with legendary art-rock singer/songwriter Robert Wyatt. As on all of Bjork's previous works, Medulla features programming by a range of imaginative electronic artists. Here she is joined by such diverse musicians as Jake Davies (U2, Madonna, Paul Oakenfold), Valgeir Sigurdsson (Mum), Olivier Alary (Ensemble), and San Francisco-based experimental duo, Matmos.
