"Army of Me" is a song by Björk, released in 1995 as the first, and
leading, single from her second album (of her current career) Post. It is a
grinding, industrial tune, punctuated by numerous samples of explosions and
lyrics which encouraging the listener to stop complaining and get on with
life ? or else. When Björk realised it was her most popular song to be
covered by other musicians, it appeared on a 2-CD charity benefit
compilation entitled Army of Me-Xes in late 2004. The song also appeared,
later in the same year, on the soundtrack of Tank Girl . The bizarre music
video ? featuring a huge truck driven by Björk, a dentist gorilla, and a
bomb in an art gallery awaking a dead boyfriend as an exhibit ? was
directed by Michel Gondry. The video is notable for its use of
"bullet-time" (a rotating camera that captures a subject in mid-motion),
the first music video to do so. This effect was later popularized by the
hit film The Matrix
