ricardo Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 their most accesible ones are takk and með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust but for me their best is agaetis byrjun listen to hopippolla first, if you like it then we talk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TechnicolorGreenEyes Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 I like "weird" stuff, so it's not like I need to be broken in with the most accessible/mainstream album Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApproximatelyInfinite Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 if you ask me, their bests are takk and agaetis byrjun, though the new one has some fabulous tracks. i'd start with takk, i think. :dance: about the new album! i had no idea they were working on one currently, but it doesn't sound like many did. can't wait!

RunForTheHills Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 I think Takk is the best place to start I think, it combines all the best elements of sigur ros into one album for me. Then Agaetis Byrjun and () for the more experimental stuff. But wow, I had no idea they were already working on new material! That's basically 2 sigur ros albums within a year if you count Jonsi's solo album... can't wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TechnicolorGreenEyes Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Argh youtube wont work on here for me, when it's embeded, cos my IP is banned and I have to use a proxy So I guess I'll get Takk, Agaetis Byrjun and () Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricardo Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust is good too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strawberryfields Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 They're all good, quite frankly. But yes, Takk is the best to start with- it has a little bit of mainstream stuff, and a little bit of weird stuff. And a new album? I have no idea how Jonsi has time for all this stuff, but yay! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricardo Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 mainstream? Sigur Rós are anything but mainstream, hoppipolla maybe too catchy, but it's not mainstream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bee_panda Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 I love Glosoli!It's the first Sigur Rós song I've heard.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strawberryfields Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 mainstream? Sigur Rós are anything but mainstream, hoppipolla maybe too catchy, but it's not mainstream that's not quite what I meant. I meant songs like hoppipolla, that are the MOST mainstream out of all of their songs- songs that anyone who knows sigur ros has heard and likes.

Ms Magpie Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 I've started with ( ) and it didn't freak me out or anything like that. :sleep: So that one's also good to start with. Von is very different from the rest of their albums .. still didn't get into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i'maveryneatMonster.' Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Sæglópur is amazing. I think it's even better than Hoppipolla. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grids Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 news (fréttir) sigur rós play for dalai lama 29 May 2009 sigur rós will be playing a short set for the dalai lama at his public talk in laugardalshöllin arena in reykjavík, tuesday june 2nd. sigur rós will be joined by odin’s raven magic collaborators steindór andersen, hilmar örn hilmarsson, maría huld markan and páll from húsafell. the set will be comprised of parts from odin’s raven magic as well as ‘rímur’ chanting by steindór. the band will be performing without jónsi as he is currently in london working on his solo album. in an interview in today’s morgunblaðið newspaper, steindór says the group was honoured to have been asked to perform for the dalai lama and view their contribution more as a tribute to the spiritual leader than as a concert for the guests. the dalai lama event is sold out. new album near completion 28 May 2009 sigur rós have certainly been keeping busy lately. in addition to the riceboy sleeps album, jónsi’s solo album and kjartan’s ondine soundtrack, sigur rós have been at work in their sundlaugin studio in álafoss the past few weeks recording a full length album, which is now nearing completion. orri told morgunblaðið newspaper today that the recordings have been going very well and that the album is taking form as a slower and more ambient record than með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust and takk…. he also describes the music as melodic but much less noisy and more “out there” than previous albums. the album does not have a release date set but is expected to be released sometime next year. minningar um ágætis byrjun 26 May 2009 kæru íslendingar! (já, við erum að tala við þig.) í tilefni 10 ára afmælis plötunnar ágætis byrjun nú í sumar langar okkur til að biðja þá sem voru viðstaddir útgáfutónleikana í íslensku óperunni, 12. júní 1999, að senda okkur minningar ykkar í kringum tónleikana, hvort sem það er mynd, texta, video, grein eða annað. allar minningar eða minningabútar í kringum plötuna og útgáfu hennar eru líka vel þegnar, skiptir engu hvort það eru tvær setningar eða tvö hundruð setningar. athugið að innsent efni gæti verið birt hér á vefnum á sérstöku svæði tileinkað ágætis byrjun. kærar þakkir! [non-icelanders: the above is a note to ask those in attendance of the icelandic opera house concert of june 1999 to send in their memories from the concert and album release.] this is really cool to know :D thanks for the articles, ricardo! :nice: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
