"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.

Put them on the 'now, now' list... now? Yeah, now. Download the two tracks I've mentioned, give them both a few listens (Vidrar will take a few hours for that, but it's worth it), sit back and enjoy the wonder that is Rós.

and Labradford? I thought it may be a reference to my hometown, but clearly not. Basts.

Aha.

Look what I've started now.

Although I'm pleased to have done so.

Also, if you like Sigur Ros, check out Mogwai. They're nowhere near as good, but are satisfying for non-Sigur moments.

Aye indeed.
And, yes, me neither.

Along with others such as Labradford, they've been hanging on my 'soon, soon' list for ages.

Yeah, I think I'd download more, but they do seem like very much an album band, and I don't want my first impressions of a track to be crap because it's not in context of the whole album.

I think I will be getting their debut first, though. Just because I love Vidrar.

I popped into HMV on the way back from school and got Takk, and I can't wait for this evening, when I'm going to turn down the lights, lie on my bed and get taken to that better place..



lol

New album out soon isn't it? Listened to all their previous ones and own (). Intending on getting Von and Algaetis Byrun (probably spelt that wrong) for completion sakes. I've always found them slightly more accessable than ().

The intro to Algaetis is class.

I've only heard two and yet... I love them.

Basts.

Matteh you want some prog. Me and Faffy (FFF) are the ones to call.

Never heard much Sigur Ros :(

It was a Live version, dunno if that's how it is on the Album

I've only heard Vaka and that's great
