''Homogenic'' was extremely well-received by critics and fans alike upon release and has consistently received acclaim from its initial release to this day; it is now hailed as one of the greatest electronica/TripHop albums of all time. Notable songs include "All Is Full of Love", "Jóga", "Hunter", "Bachelorette", and "Alarm Call".

''Homogenic'' is the fourth studio album by Music/{{Bjork}}, released on September 22, 1997 as the follow-up to ''Music/{{Post}}''. It's known for mixing electronic beats with orchestral instruments and for its grand production, and it also serves as sort of a tribute to her homeland of UsefulNotes/{{Iceland}}. Because of its [[AvantGardeMusic experimental nature]], it may not be for everybody, but it definitely is one of the biggest masterpieces of her career.

The album began with small music-making sessions in Björk's London-based home studio alongside audio engineer Mark Dravs. However, the progress in these sessions was halted due to the media sensation caused by stalker Ricardo López, a Björk fan and video diarist who became so obsessed with her that he attempted to kill her with a letter bomb (which was fortunately intercepted before any harm could be done) and videotaped himself committing suicide.

Following this, a shaken-up Björk ended up recording the whole of the album in the studio of a tour drummer that was located in Spain; a portion of the album's introspective and melancholic lyrical nature were influenced by the incident, including the Japanese bonus track "So Broken". Although she initially planned to self-produce the whole album, she enlisted multiple producers like she did with ''Post'', and would've included the likes of the Music/WuTangClan [[WhatCouldHaveBeen had they not been busy producing for their album]] ''Wu-Tang Forever''.

* NeoClassicalPunkZydecoRockabilly: As Björk will be. "Joga" and "Bachelorette" are a good example of her clash of styles, combining ElectronicMusic with ClassicalMusic strings. "Bachelorette" ends with an accordion.
