The first solo album (conveniently ignoring the self titled album from 1977) from the lead singer of The Sugarcubes was quite a departure from their sound - moving more towards dance music, albeit with the trademark Bjork oddness. And what a wonderful departure it is; rhythmic, quirky, melodic and memorable. The nearest thing to Kate Bush since....well Kate Bush. For me the stand out tracks are 'Big Time Sensuality' and 'Come To Me', although the single remix of the former is superior.
Released in 1993 this is inextricably linked to me taking up my first job in Leeds, moving into a rented semi in Horsforth, making a whole set of new friends and meeting my partner. Violently Happy indeed, Bjork.
