Top/ "Army of Me" (One Little Indian, 1995) is the first, and leading, single from Björk's third solo album Post. It is a grinding, industrial tune, punctuated by numerous samples of explosions and lyrics which are encouraging the listener to stop complaining and get on with life — or else. The song also appeared, later in the same year, on the soundtrack of Tank Girl. The bizarre, dream-like music video — featuring a huge truck driven by Björk, a dentist gorilla, and a bomb in an art gallery awaking a dead boyfriend as an exhibit — was directed by Michel Gondry. Middle/ Mars Audiac Quintet (Duophonic) is an album by the post-rock band Stereolab, released in August 1994. During the recording of the album, guitarist Sean O'Hagan left as a full-time member to form his own group, while keyboardist Katharine Gifford was added. Bottom/ A 1975 album from intricate keyboard player Cyrille Verdeaux (who records under the nom de plume Clearlight), Forever Blowing Bubbles (Virgin Records) is the French prog-rock band's follow-up to their breakthrough debut Clearlight Symphony. It covers many contrasting genres including psychedelic, new age, folk, rock and jazz fusion jamming, and the closing track of abstract electronic music experimentation. On the cover of Forever Blowing Bubbles, a cable comes over the horizon, and ends in a disconnected DIN plug lying in the grass, blowing bubbles.
