'''''Surrounded''''' is the third [[box set]] by Icelandic musician [[Björk]], released on 27 June 2006 through [[One Little Indian]]. It is a collection of seven of her [[studio album]]s, issued in the [[DualDisc]] format—one side contains the original longplayers, while the other one includes their remastered versions in [[surround sound]], in tandem with [[music video]]s and additional features. While the box set did not impact any [[record chart]]s, music critics gave mixed to positive reviews to ''Surrounded''. Most of them were positive towards its packaging and affirmed it was an effective showcase of Björk's catalogue. Nonetheless, criticism was targeted towards its opportunistic nature and technicalities.

==Content and release==
''Surrounded'' compiles reissues of five of Björk's [[studio album]]s—''[[Debut (Björk album)|Debut]]'' (1993), ''[[Post (Björk album)|Post]]'' (1995), ''[[Homogenic]]'' (1997), ''[[Vespertine]]'' (2001) and ''[[Medúlla]]'' (2004)—in addition to ''[[Selmasongs]]'' (2000), and ''[[Drawing Restraint 9]]'' (2005), her [[soundtrack album]]s. They are pressed in [[DualDisc]]s, which possess both a CD side and a DVD side. The former contains each album as originally released, whereas they appear remastered in both [[DTS (sound system)|DTS]] and [[Dolby Digital|Dolby 5.1]] on the latter.<ref name="chartattack">{{cite web|title=Bjork To Release Career-Spanning Box Set|url=http://www.chartattack.com/news/2006/05/16/bjork-to-release-career-spanning-box-set/|date=16 May 2006|access-date=15 May 2006|work=[[Chart Attack]]|url-status=usurped|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160515152052/http://www.chartattack.com/news/2006/05/16/bjork-to-release-career-spanning-box-set/|archive-date=15 May 2016}}</ref><ref name="theguardian">{{cite news|last=Schofield|first=Jack|title=No taste for high-quality audio|url=https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2007/aug/02/guardianweeklytechnologysection.digitalmusic|date=2 August 2007|access-date=15 May 2016|work=[[The Guardian]]|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160421162401/https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2007/aug/02/guardianweeklytechnologysection.digitalmusic|archive-date=21 April 2016}}</ref> Paul 'P-Dub' Walton was the project's [[sound engineer]], having been responsible for the remasters.<ref name="liner">{{cite AV media notes|title=Surrounded|others=[[Björk]]|publisher=[[One Little Indian]]|year=2006}}</ref> Ken Richardson of ''[[Sound and Vision (magazine)|Sound and Vision]]'' described Richardson's work on the box set as a "truly surrounding mix", adding it provides "authority" to Björk's "fragile" voice, while making "the icy electronics warm up in the newly expansive atmosphere."<ref name="soundvision"/> The DVD sides incorporate the [[music video]]s of each album's singles, the exceptions being the discs for ''Selmasongs'' and ''Drawing Restraint 9'' do not include any visuals, but the latter features an extra track—"Petrolatum".{{refn|group=nb|In addition to their audio counterpart:

Surrounded is the third box set by Icelandic musician Björk, released on 27 June 2006 through One Little Indian. It is a collection of seven of her studio albums, issued in the DualDisc format—one side contains the original longplayers, while the other one includes their remastered versions in surround sound, in tandem with music videos and additional features. While the box set did not impact any record charts, music critics gave mixed to positive reviews to Surrounded. Most of them were positive towards its packaging and affirmed it was an effective showcase of Björk's catalogue. Nonetheless, criticism was targeted towards its opportunistic nature and technicalities.

Content and release

[edit]

Surrounded compiles reissues of five of Björk's studio albumsDebut (1993), Post (1995), Homogenic (1997), Vespertine (2001) and Medúlla (2004)—in addition to Selmasongs (2000), and Drawing Restraint 9 (2005), her soundtrack albums. They are pressed in DualDiscs, which possess both a CD side and a DVD side. The former contains each album as originally released, whereas they appear remastered in both DTS and Dolby 5.1 on the latter.[1][2] Paul 'P-Dub' Walton was the project's sound engineer, having been responsible for the remasters.[3] Ken Richardson of Sound and Vision described Richardson's work on the box set as a "truly surrounding mix", adding it provides "authority" to Björk's "fragile" voice, while making "the icy electronics warm up in the newly expansive atmosphere."[4] The DVD sides incorporate the music videos of each album's singles, the exceptions being the discs for Selmasongs and Drawing Restraint 9 do not include any visuals, but the latter features an extra track—"Petrolatum".[nb 1][3] The collection is bundled in M/M Paris-designed "hot metallic pink packaging", which Kurt Orzeck of MTV says "is a work of art in and of itself",[1][5] and Mark Pytlik characterised as a continuation of Björk's "fetishization of the physical artifact".[6] The albums are accompanied by their original artwork.[7] Surrounded was released in the United Kingdom on 27 June 2006;[1] its components were also made available individually.[8]

Surrounded elicited mixed to positive reviews from music critics. George Lang, writing in The Oklahoman, recommended the boxset to fans of Björk, commending its inclusion of the artist's videography.[13] On behalf of the San Francisco Chronicle, Aidin Vaziri praised the sound quality and packaging, but was ambivalent towards the collection's price and opined that the "quality of the music is wildly inconsistent".[14] Sound and Vision evaluated the sound of the remasters positively; according to reviewer Ken Richardson, they are "never less than excellent".

The remasters of Vespertine and Medúlla were singled out in the review.[11]

Heather Phares of AllMusic described the boxset as "beautifully packaged" and practical, whereas The Austin Chronicle reviewer Melanie Haupt denoted the technical problems adjacent to the DualDisc, stating, "The work and its evolution speaks for itself.
