720p-Versionen der Videos: OGG/Theora oder MP4/h264

Since I got this album for christmas I’ve been listening to it days on end (alternating with Major Lazer and Florence and the Machine). She has the same accent as Björk and her style points in the same direction, although more main-stream, which explains why Peter Jackson chose Emilíana to sing Gollum’s Song when Björk didn’t have the time.

If you buy the album, don’t choose the Gold Edition over the normal one: the remixes aren’t that innovative, and the videos can be found on her YouTube-channel in better quality (or at least: scaled up)

Behold this screenshot of the unscaled videos from the bonus disc, in comparison to a 35mm postage stamp:

Here be some biting commentary about the state of the music industry and a prediction of how they will fail to cope with this century’s new challenges if they don’t leave the 90ies very soon. This was released in 2008 people, I expected iPod-video compatible clips, in PAL, at least.

This was the first Photo I took of my X61’s screen, it doesn’t look that badly lit to the eye…
