Bjork’s Crystalline remix series was ambitious and flawed. The dizzying array of limited edition singles was confusing and pricey. Acute record collectors, however, immediately focused on the gem of the series: the Omar Souleyman remixes. Syrian musician Omar Souleyman remixes “Crystalline, Tesla” and “Mawal” in his signature Arab music style offering a completely new take on icelandic imp music. Original copies with spectacular pic sleeve (ps. these are going for $40 on the secondhand market).
