Family Tree专辑介绍 2002年发行的《Family Tree》为Björk音乐历程20多年的总结性回顾,为这套6CD合辑收录一些从未发布的作品:前两张mini CD命名为“Roots”包括早期在Sugarcubes乐队中创作的Sidasta Eg、Björk在15岁时谱写的长笛独奏曲;第三张命名为“Beats”,展现了Björk对电子节奏实验的独到见解,其中4首分别与Graham Massey、Mark Bell合作,后两张命名为“Strings”,涉及她在古典音乐方面的尝试,其第一次古典化演绎是与Brodsky Quartet在2000年在伦敦Union Chapel合作的,最后一张是Björk亲自编排的的精选。

这套CD如同一棵分支的树,清晰的刻画了Björk的音乐根源,及各种音乐流派对她的影响,早期的爵士、古典根源,中后期的电子、trip-hop印记等等。而Björk作为一个从小接受正统古典音乐训练的音乐家,在她身上却张扬着特立独行的音乐态度,大胆叛逆的思维和极具野心的艺术追求。

Family Tree is a boxed set of musical material by Icelandic singer Björk. The set consists of a book of lyrics entitled "Words", five 3-inch compact discs of rare and previously unreleased material, and a regular-sized compact disc of "Greatest Hits" selected by Björk herself.
Family Tree was released in November 2002, concurrent with the release of Björk's Greatest Hits album, in which the tracks were selected by her fans.
The five 3-inch compact discs include: "Roots CD 1", which features songs recorded before Björk's "second solo debut" (i.e. previous to her 1993 album Debut). This compact disc features songs by her previous bands: KUKL, The Elgar Sisters, and The Sugarcubes. "Roots CD 2" features b-sides and alternate versions of album tracks; "Beats", which focuses on both new and old songs with a heavier electronica influence; and finally "Strings", CDs 1 and 2, which feature live and studio recordings of Björk with the Brodsky Quartet through 1999 and 2000.
The artwork on the CD was designed by M/M Paris in collaboration with Icelandic contemporary artist Gabríela Friðriksdóttir. The cover consists of a tree with letter on the upper part.
A music video for the song Nature is Ancient, directed by LynnFox, was released in November 2002 to promote the compilation, even though the song was originally released in 1997.
Björk's notes for the project, as featured on the individual CD artworks, reveal that "Immature" and "My Spine" were initially considered to feature on the compilation, as well as track(s) recorded with British composer John Tavener.
