Voltaïc: The Volta Tour Live in Paris and Reykjavik is a remarkable, multi-media document of Björk's visually dazzling Volta tour. The film features performances of songs from Volta as well as earlier tracks including Hunter, Jóga, Army of Me, and Hyperballad. Björk's band on the Volta tour included Mark Bell (LFO) on computers and keyboards, Damian Taylor on keyboards/programming, drums and percussion by Chris Corsano, Jónas Sen played piano, harpsichord, and church organ and Björk's all female Icelandic 10-piece brass section (three trumpets, three French horns, three trombones, and a tuba) rounded out the group. A dynamic, grand live experience, the Volta tour has been acclaimed around the world.
"Björk delivers a performance as visually spectacular as it is musically innovative. Fifteen years into her solo career Björk remains the least compromising and most fantastical pop superstar talent." (5 stars)
–Guardian UK
"No other songwriter can sound so naïve and so instinctual while building such elaborate structures. And few musicians have managed to sustain her unlikely combination of avant-gardism and pop visibility."
–Jon Pareles, The New York Times
