Bjork "It's In Our Hands" U.K. CD Single Part 1

Comes in a standard jewel case with front insert (folds out to a mini poster of a drawing) but no back insert.
1. It's In Our Hands: good song from the Greatest Hits album.
2. Cocoon (Retangled by Ensemble): great re-working of the song EXCEPT for the intro which is just a MINUTE of the same noises over and over. They could have reduced the intro to about 10 seconds and it would have been less annoying.
3. All Is Full Of Love (Live): The reasong to get this CD. Sounds amazing live.

BUY THE JAPANESE IMPORT VERSION

There is a Japanese import version that has 5 tracks instead of 3 - it is the CD1 and CD2 put together onto 1 CD. The cover is in color instead of Black and White. Save yourself money (and room in your CD collection) and get all of the tracks on one disc!

By the way - the live tracks are fantastic. The whole disc rocks.

It Always Was

Although Bj?rk's more recent singles have lacked in the number of songs per disc, they certainly do not lack quality. This is the first part of a two CD/one DVD set, and this is a wonderful opener. Of course, the first song is the single itself, the "Greatest Hits" version of "It's In Our Hands," and, while many of her fans have complained that it lacks the energy that it was given in its live treatment on the 2001 tour, I find this version to be superior. The second song is a reworking of "Cocoon" by Ensemble. This track, the second of Ensemble's Bj?rk remixes, is not as good as the original, but it does bring the song towards a warmer, elctronic climate - a gentle contrast to "Vespertine." Lastly, the disc concludes with a live version of "All Is Full Of Love" sure to bring you to tears. Overall, this single is not a bad choice, especially considering its the limited quantity availiable.
