The Sugarcubes "Motor Crash"

With every year that passes, I meet more and more people that have no idea that Bjork once fronted a fantastic band called The Sugarcubes. That's too bad, really. While Bjork's solo output has far surpassed The 'Cubes in beauty, artistic scope and chart success, they nonetheless were a tight, interesting, groundbreaking outfit that deserves to remembered. They only had three full-length albums, all worth hearing, but a great place for the beginner is the singles collection The Great Crossover Potential. (Go for the remix album It's It after you've tastd everything else.) Download "Motor Crash"
