Well, I'm really happy with Bjork's "Debut" but it took alot of persuading to
get me to give it a chance in the first place.  The initial problem was that I
really have never liked The Sugarcubes.  I did give them a pretty fair chance
but I just couldn't get into them (it may have been Einar.  He annoyed me a bit
too much).  Anyway, my co-workers' and boyfriend's constant pressure to, at
least, listen to it once paid off.  I love it.  
Yes, it is mainly a showcase for the blend of Bjork's voice (which is very
flexible and strong) and the percussion (variations on tribal-type beats). 
Percussion is my cup of tea though:).  I think her album is well crafted in
writing, production, and performance.  It's popular enough though that you may
be able to borrow a copy and "audition" it before buying it.
