the "man gasping" as some are saying here, is actually Inuit throat singing... by tanya tagaq, a women...lol. you should look up some videos of throat singing. it's amazing! i think it was originally invented as a game of some kind by Inuit women. but it makes great music too :)
and it fits in perfectly to me in this album, because the practice is so...basic...i love it...this album gets down to the core of music. to it's roots. to the roots of humanity...using the oldest instruments on earth, the voice. which makes perfect sense, seeing how the album is called Medulla...being the innermost part of an organ or animal.
this album is amaaazzzingly put together. bjork did a wonderful job. and i think this song is the perfect opening to it. so beautiful, the way the voices unfold in the song, it's like a flower opening up... or like water flowing, it's so pure and crisp...
