PAGAN POETRY - Björk

Björk over 'Pagan Poetry': "I'd always wanted to work with music boxes but it was waiting for the right occasion. I'd been collecting them and stuff. The main thing was that I wanted to write my own songs on music boxes. In the beginning, the music box company weren't very excited. They'd made wooden boxes for aeons and I wanted see through plexi-glass. They couldn't get their head round it - they were like 'Why?' They wanted to make the plonky sound softer with wood but I wanted it as hard as possible, like it was frozen. In the end, they said it was the best thing they'd ever done."
