    Pretty good soundtrack. Can't really fault it beyond i just couldn't connect with it much maybe it's because I haven't seen the movie it scores but even so the music doesn't grip or even satisfy in the way soundtracks do .

    Selmasongs breaks no new ground whatsoever for the Icelandic composer, instead dwelling in more comfortable regions already mapped by Homogenic.... the record definitely has its great moments. The problem is, there are only two of them.

    Björk's airy and exalted vocals are wonderfully familiar. She may be singing as Selma, but Björk herself isn't too far beneath the surface.

    An excellent release, albeit a bit short.
