Well, the song 'Pagan Poetry' is impressive especially
the vocals on last part.Also ,when I first listened the song
'Domestica' I was charmed.I've listened over and over and i've
not been sated ,yet.The other track 'Batabit'is another
gem in this record.As the oher Bjork singles it is
will be an unique piece for collectors.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great things..., February 26, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Pagan Poetry / Domestica / Batabid (Audio CD)

This single is my favorite out of all the Björk singles that I own. The b-sides on this single reach out and grab you, I can't believe I hadn't heard domestica before. I started to play and I was wondering myself "where did I put my keys...they're not in my pocket." Some of the things that Björk does can be described by no other means than cute. Domestica holds a very cute moment in Björk's recording career. Buy this you will not be disappointed.
By the way Batabid is a very relaxing instrumental makes you wonder why Björk left Mark Bell from the homogenic days. Very good.

4.0 out of 5 stars Bjork, I'm going broke!, December 9, 2001

I'm sorry, but I wish Bjork would just stop releasing all of these Part 1 and part 2 single CD's from Vespertine (so far 6 B-side songs on 3 different single releases and counting), and instead release a more economical "Vespertine Part 2" album. (Radiohead released "Amnesiac" in the same vien as "Kid A", didn't they?) I can't afford this Bjork addiction forever if she keeps doing this. That's the reason for 4 stars instead of 5. So far all of the B-sides have been very nice, satisfying pieces and still right in the same type of style that Vespertine is in. This Pagan Poetry #2 Single release includes 2 B-sides, "Domestica" and "Batabid".

"Domestica" is a more playful and silly than the whole Vespertine mood, but retains the more subtle, sparkling "wintery" sound all of the reviewers keep talking about.

"Batabid" has NO vocals, and is only 2:25 minutes of a repetitive motif that doesn't evolve and sounds like background music for a flower opening on a nature documentary. I am a huge Bjork fan, but that song didn't really do anything for me, other than make me wonder why she can't (I repeat myself) package all of these B-sides into ONE BIG beautiful album and call it Vespertine #2, so that I can use my money for more music.

So, if you're a Bjork addict, as you must be if you are actually reading this, I still recommend that get a copy of this single just for "Domestica" (because obviously you already own Vespertine) and then start making your own copies and selling them to your friends so that you can make some money back just like Bjork is doing.
