When Alain De Botton gets done building his temple for atheists, I'd like to be appointed the music director. Let's definitely have a lot of Bjork. Why? Because her music creates the sort of experience religious people get to have, and De Botton thinks the godless should have as well. Or perhaps more like it -- a successor experience. Something grand, emotional, and full of wonder, but without the worshipful part. I'm just a bit obseessed with Bjork! This is from the album Homogenic --

I really love Joga. You could also have Scala and Kolacny Brothers’ version, for something a bit more ceremonial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJ_0tygs-wQ
Thanks for that -- a completely different mood, but still good.
Great taste in music!
Do chimpanzees have temples?

Be sure to watch the video part.
Bjork is awesome. The end.
Marital discord. Last night my husband said Bjork was "admirable." This is like saying "let's be friends." Tragic. I agree -- she's awesome, the end.
Aeolus--Will watch. A book by Barbara King (came out a few years ago, can't remember title) said there's religion in apes. Hmm!
I have to admit, Debut is still one of my favorites even though I like her...er...evolved stuff.
