"Sigur Rós appreciation"

I heard Glosoli last night, and was reminded of the genius that is Vidrar til vel loftarasa and, despite the fact that they're the only two songs I know by them, I thought I'd start a thread so you can all convince me to blow my last few pence that I own on a few of their CDs.

So do it. Appreciate, reccommend a few songs and talk about how genius the Ros are.

Oh, and the video to Glosoli... it's not as moving as Vidrar's, but it's still far and above most music videos.

Respect.

You should get "( )" (Brackets)

Download Rós, you cloon.

Yeah I like Mogwai. Come on Die Young has grown on me from being 'umm, nah' to 'umm, yeah, pretty cool'.

Yus.

Oi FFF, you have more than me (for shame :( ) I think...i.e, what other GSYBE/EITS style stuff could you whisk to me...to sample?

I know. Great isn't it?

Takk is out already?! Damn.. Gonna have to get that today.

Mogwai's music is creepy. Hunted By A Freak and I Know You Are But What Am I? are great.

Also, try M83. Let Men Burn Stars, Last Saturday, Facing That are all good. You might like their Teen Angst song, too.

Huzzah.

I (we all) win.

I read your comments about the Rós, and that brought back memories. then on 120 minutes last night, they played Glósóli, which is what has brought this on.
But yeah.

I'm quite certain that it was me posting comments in down's thread that sparked this. But if it was MTV2 playing something last night or something then...yeah.

wwwwhat? It was MTV2 that have (both times) sparked my love of ye olde Sigur Rós by showing their videos. God bless 120 minutes, which also introduced me to Sister Sneaker, Sister Soul. Tune and a half that.
