I love Bjork! Check out the wonderful combination of instruments on this video:

Upright bass, tabla, synth, flute, turntables/samples, and wine glasses (harpsichord too?). Yet it is put together so naturally, and it feels "normal" and relaxed, not to mention it is a beautiful song on it's own. How about two classical/flameno style guitars and wrenching, phone-filtered vocals? You got it!

Reminds us not to be afraid of sparseness, and of simple elements. The quality of the performance and composition will carry many, many orchestrational possibilities.
That is fantastic!!! The first song is from debut and a favorite of mine. Words cannot express how much I enjoy the orchestration in the video. Absolutely fantastic.
