With this first album, Emiliana gets recognition in Europe, outside of Iceland. Immediately compared to Björk, due to their origins and very atypical voices, Emiliana will nonetheless manage to detach herself from this usual cliché, and create her own music personality.
For this first album, Emiliana, who was 21, worked with some of the best musicians, such as Roland Orzabal (from Tears for Fears) and Eg White (from Eg & Alice) and the result is a good mirror of these collaborations: an ecclectic album, mainly in trip hop style (even if Emiliana names it a pop album), mixing different genres and showing the wide range in which Emiliana can perform (soft ballads with Summerbreeze, electro trip hop with Tuna Fish, etc). The album had a good success in Europe and so began Emiliana's career on a bigger scale!
When Emiliana works on « Love in the Time of Science », she meets Siggi Baldursson, who was the drumer of Sugarcubes (Björk's first band). He's then working on a new project (dip) and asks her to write two songs, "Come out" and "Love in the Time of science". Emiliana decides to use the last one on her album, and renames it "Telepathy", but she will use the title of the song for her album's name. She will also record "Summerbreeze" with its author, the guitarist Mark Abis, as it's a song she really care for, and will obviously predefined the way her artistic career will go, making the bridge between LITTOS and Fisherman's woman.
