oh yes I forgot to mention that :P

I watched it yesterday. I might watch it again :cool:

 

It makes me want to live in Iceland

i started watching it... i need a physical copy!

Okay so ... I've heard about them for a long time, but for some reason it took me a while to check them out.

Love at first listen. Like ... wow. Takk is amazing. :shocked2:

Just got Ágætis byrjun , Hvarf/Heim and Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust. Amazing stuff. ♥

holy shit, I'm listening to the whole riceboy sleeps album in reverse (I recommend it, no less beautiful or ambient), and am just realizing that the boy's voices in 'Atlas Song' are singing the melody to 'Hark The Herald Angels Sing'. That is, the recording is reversed when you listen to it normally. Someone else check it out and tell me if I'm delusional. Sorta fitting to discover this with Christmas coming and all...

dunno if you guys know but The Album Leaf (one of my favorite bands) has worked with Sigur Ros and they have appeared on each of their albums. Here's one song by The Album Leaf that features members of Sigur Ros (Jonsi)... Enjoy!

I didn't click on this when you posted it, but it's my favorite track on that album, extraordinarily beautiful.

I haven't rewatched the main disc yet, but the extra footage and audio on the second disc is really cool.
