that's not uncommon for remixes, especially in the 2000s, though.

it might even sound better. bjork over a trendy dubstep track just sounds weird to me. bjork over trendy house music sounded natural, but back then, bjork was a lot more connected to what was mainstream, or rather what was popular underground music. today, she's a genre unto herself more than ever. that's why it was funny when she worked with timbaland NOW as opposed to 10 years earlier. bjork had become just too bjork for it to really work.
