Vespertine was an album where I was really psyched for it coming out and then really struggled to get into it. I think the vinyl was sort of badly mastered (?) (lot of sibilance problems, kind of an issue on this very whispery album) which probably put me off too. Loved "Aurora," "Heirloom," "It's Not Up To You," liked the singles okay, had trouble holding the rest together in my head. I guess I should give it another chance, though!

So weirded out by all the love for "Love", I mean, the remixes are great but on the album it is a footnote

No. It is a perfect epilogue to that album. I will not hear it any other way.

The remixes pollute the crystalline beauty of the album version.

I am unyielding on this point.
I volunteer to lose friends to endorse this opinion.

Isn't the album version actually a remix?

"All Is Full of Love" is a song by Björk, released as the fifth and final single from her album Homogenic. The version of the song used in the video is actually the original version of the song, while the version on Homogenic is a remix by Howie B.
Huh! That is very interesting and prob explains why the album version is so sonically divergent

Man I love Pluto so much and its hi-fi expensive drill sound and I guess here's the right place to ask "where can I find more like that"

I hate the histrionism in Bachelorette half of the time. For me Joga is the real jewel in Homogenic, it could be an instrumental song and it would still be brilliant. Probably Bjork's best string arrangements, don't think she'll ever top them.
Have you heard the Polar Prize version with Ane Brun? Obviously Bjork owns the song and noone is able to perform it as she does, but the backing orchestra makes it one of the better performances I've heard of it. Wish Bjork herself was singing it. You can tell she is moved by the rendition, though. It appears that she is crying at the end of it.
