This latest volume of the Bjork Hub's Television Performances DVD
Series is compiled exclusively of clips from Icelandic television,
although several of the clips were produced elsewhere.
The chapters are in rough chronological order, so that it becomes
a career retrospective of Björk from an Icelandic reference point.
This DVD is culled from 5 DVDs of raw material.

DVD Specifications:
MPEG-2, 720x576 25 fps (4:3) PAL, 8040 kbps
Dolby Digital (AC3), 48000 Hz Stereo, 128 kbps and 192 kpbs

Thanks to Anonymous for the wonderful and voluminous Icelandic
footage!

CHAPTERS:

01 Early Montage (1974-1996)
Created by Icelandic station RÚV for an interview with
Björk and her father on 1997-01-08, this montage contains
master-quality clips of Björk as a child.

02 Björk Builds an Instrument (1979)

seems to be a complete segment. Aired as part of an
Icelandic quiz show in 1994.

A promotional video for the Megas song Reykjavíkurnætur,
it featured Björk and her sister singing backing vocals.

04 1994 Reykjavik Clips (1994, 1996)
This is a compilation of news reports which contain clips of
Björk's performance in Reykjavik on 1994-06-19. These were
aired on news broadcasts of stations Stöð and RÚV, in part
because of the appearance of the Icelandic President Vigdís
Finnbogadóttir at the concert.

The unique duet performed "Satisfaction" at the 1994 Brit Awards.

06 Brit Awards Press Conference (1994-02-15)

conference with PJ Harvey. This clip contains the "rhymes with
'jerk'" quote.

07 BTS MTV Europe (1994-11-24)
Björk is introduced by Tom Jones and then proceeds to perform
a brilliant version of Big Time Sensuality with "Fluke". This
performance is included in Volume 3 of the TV Performances series,
but is sourced here in higher quality.

08 Nordic Awards (1996-11-20)
Björk receives an award and then performs Hyperballad in Icelandic
with a string section. The clip is from an RÚV news report and
unfortunately does not contain the complete musical performance.

A Stöð 2 news feature on the concert by Björk in a Gothenburg circus
tent. This video contains all-too-brief clips of the actual performance
(Army of Me).

song "Min Farfar Drikker Sødmælk" as her acceptance "speech".

12 MTV News Homogenic (1997-10-31)

13 Millenium (1999-12-31)
The stunning presentation of Icelandic culture at the change of the century,
this video begins with a symbolic performance piece, and then features
Björk's performance of "Anchor Song" with the Voices of Europe choir inside
the Hallgrímskirkja Church in Reykjavik. The quality of this clip far exceeds
any previous version available in the Hub.
