Fan-freaking-tastic

I wanna start by saying that I love Björk as an artist. She is incredible, and this collection of music videos just proves me right. It's a fantastic ride, with lots of frighteningly beautiful pictures. The short tales that are told through these videos are as good as any movie I'd go to the movies to watch. I can't say anything else but get a hold of the DVD and watch over and over again.
