Telegram is a remix album by Icelandic singer/songwriter/musician Björk. It is a companion piece to her previous album Post, with Björk offering the album's tracks to the artists that she admired most so they could remix them in complete freedom. The cover was shot by Japanese photographer, Nobuyoshi Araki. All of the songs on Post were remixed, excluding "The Modern Things" and "It's Oh So Quiet" which Björk had become keen to distance herself from. The collection also included one new song entitled "My Spine" which was originally slated to appear on Post but pushed out by "Enjoy".

Although the collection was unlikely to sell well to a mass audience, it was calculated chart-wise while being paired with the Post album and as a result, shot to number 2 on the UK album charts.
