After listening to a lot of the audio of the Volta Tour i can tell you that the way Bjork sang/screamed: Damn colonists, Ignore their patronizing,Tear off their blindfold... in the Madrid concert, was just Amazing! it was something else! After that concert she never gave those sentence the same vibe. The peack of this song belongs to that concert in Madrid! I highly recomend you listen to it if you have the chance. Also, Sidasta Eg and the way you started playing the piano in Segovia, i guess that was there and then for the Luck of us who were there, same as for the special New York set list. I am glad to hear the tour is expanding and will be hopefully coming back to Europe (not only the london gig in April). Rest all you can and try not to stair at the wall to much.

Hope the concerts you go to are wonderful, I still say that Iceland has its own oveactive spirits that make it fertile for mindblowing music, and you prove that! :) Also I have to say it would be cool to have you as a music teacher but I have a feeling you can be quite tough! Hope all is well. Cool I’m glad you have some time to chill at home.

Why not release them on CD?? Depeche Mode did it last year with their tour. Almost every concert was available and you could purchase only through their website. That would be so incredible! I was so lucky I attended the most Wonderful, gorgeous shows at the Guggenheim, Bilbao and the 2 concerts in Nimes (I'm still recovering...) and would LOVE to have them in albums!!! Please would you consider?? In any case whatever live album or DVD would calm our hunger!! Wow, every show recorded!! Why not release them on CD?? Depeche Mode did it last year with their tour.

Which do you find more stressful to perform? A classical recital or a pop/rock concert? Thanks. Can't wait to hear "Hope"!!

That's incredible. Do you think a live album (apart of the announced live sessions album) will be released ? It must be difficult to transpose a kora sheet music into piano's sheet music... good luck. Cheers, Romain Can I be part of the classroom ? ;)
