ABC Dig Music

With custom-made instruments, interactive software applications and narration by Sir David Attenborough, it's one of the most complex music shows ever staged...but it could have been more elaborate still. "Manchester is the prototype," says Björk "We had to leave many things out because of budget and time and stuff."

The project has already been three years in preparation and has already proved so expensive that the singer recently told Rolling Stone magazine that "we'll be lucky if we earn zero".

"On purely artistic grounds it's hard to regard Biophilia as anything other than a success"  Says a review of the premiere in the UK Guardian. "Such an onslaught of new material would try the patience of most audiences, but this one is rapt – no one even goes to the bar".

Praise indeed...
