Björk Creatively Raises Money For UNICEF

Since the song was originally released in 1995 on the album Post, Björk has consistently been sent unsolicited re-mixes and cover versions of “Army of Me.” These mixes and cover versions have encompassed a broad range of styles, from upbeat electronica to death-metal.

For years, these versions of the song have been gathering dust in a corner of Björk’s office. Björk has now decided to release the best mixes and cover versions on a 2-CD album in order to raise funds for UNICEF.

However, in order to complete the album, Björk needs to receive more material to choose from. Submissions are now invited from musicians working in all genres worldwide.

The deadline for the new versions is January 17, as Björk and One Little Indian want to rush-release the album at the end of February or early March. Every version submitted will be listened to, and the final track listing will be drawn from new and old versions.

If you wish to submit a remix or cover of Björk, e-mail the music file to bjorkremixes@gmail.com. All submissions must be in mp3 format and encoded to 128kbs.
