Björk - Television Insight & Dissection 

Video from: The Sugarcubes: Live Zabor DVD. Live Zabor is a DVD reissue of a previously released VHS collection. The disc features live performances recorded in 1988-89 in London, Reykjavik, and Auburn, Alabama interspersed with offbeat monologues from each of the band members. Thanks in part to these interview clips, Live Zabor provides a better sense of who the individual band members are than the videos, which often focus on Björk and Einar, and gives a glimpse into their eccentric sense of humor. The quality of the footage is good, especially from an artistic standpoint, since much of it is culled from the band’s classic first album and the tracks from Here Today sound much better in the live setting. It’s just unfortunate that Rhino wasn't more careful with the packaging. While the label says there is an Icelandic version of “Birthday” included as a bonus track, it doesn't seem to be anywhere on the disc. There are, however, Icelandic versions of “Plastic”, “Eat the Menu”, and “Speed Is the Key”, although the label doesn't indicate that these songs are not in English. (In truth, this shouldn't be off-putting to English speakers, since the songs actually sound better in Icelandic.) The bigger problem is that the credits telling where each track was filmed don’t seem to correspond to what’s actually on the disc. These goofs, coupled with the way the Stick Around for Joy tracks are treated as an afterthought on The DVD, make it appear as though the collections were put together without much care. Basically, these DVDs don’t improve on the previous VHS releases much, but at least their arrival ensures that The Sugarcubes won’t drift further into obscurity. This 15-track DVD was shot live in 1988 and 1989 and features "Cold Sweat," "Birthday," "Motorcrash," "Deus," "Speed is the Key," and Delicious Demon" as well as individual interviews with the band.
