Produced by Björk, Mark Bell, Guy Sigsworth, Howie B and Markus Dravs, it was released on One Little Indian Records. The music of Homogenic was a new style for Björk, focusing on similar sounding music combining electronic beats and string instruments with songs in tribute to her native country Iceland. Homogenic was originally to be produced in her home in London, United Kingdom, but was later recorded in Spain to avoid interruption from the press after the suicide of Björk's stalker Ricardo López.
Homogenic marked the first of several production collaborations between Mark Bell and Björk, whom Björk would cite as a major influence on her musical career. The album peaked at number twenty-eight on the Billboard 200, and at number four on the UK Albums Chart. Five singles were released from Homogenic: "Jóga", "Bachelorette", "Hunter", "Alarm Call" and "All Is Full of Love". Homogenic was highly acclaimed on its initial release and continues to be praised by critics, with Sal Cinquemani of Slant Magazine stating that "if not the greatest electronic album of all time, it's certainly the greatest of its decade"....

"Just because this is the only Björk album I've given the top spot for its year doesn't mean it's my favorite. Trying to choose between it, Post, and Debut is impossible. It just so happens that in 1997 she beat out all her competition.
Favorite song: "5 Years"

""5 Years"
As I said in my Songs and what they mean to me list: Between 2003 and 2009, I had a difficult time finding someone to be in a relationship with. I dated plenty of grrls, but for various reasons things rarely progressed beyond a few dates and the girlfriends I did have didn't last longer than a couple months. Throughout that time this song frequently played in my head if not on my mp3 player."

"Music Television, again. Heard Jóga, bought the album, you know the drill.
What Björk really changed was my perception of music videos, since her's are like little pieces of art. My favourite is All Is Full of Love by Chris Cunningham (, who by the way is the greatest music video director of all time).
