Wow! After reading phuzzy's topic in Life, he said it's best to listen to Sigur Ros - Untitled 1 whilst reading. That song, I liked!

Now on Amazon I'm listening to little snippets of the songs and they are amazing!

There's one particular song called Svefn g englar on the album Agaetis Byrjun.. it's so familiar. Can't figure out whether it's from a movie or advert. Like Vanilla Sky or The Good Girl. Wow.. again!

Must get the album!

Anyone else like?

Iceland-ish is their nationality - Ms NY.

Me too. Didn't actually cry though, but it was a song that you *could* cry to. Viðrar vel til loftárása.. What nationality are they?! I *really* wish I could understand what these guys are saying!

Untitled 1 is one of those songs that send shockwaves through your body emotions and the like.

Listening to it now makes me physically cry. Going through a difficult period in life lets say.

Yup, if you liked that then definitely get the first album. It's strangely beautiful, get bored with it sometimes but I do love to go back to it.

I have their first I think... or the last one they made but not the recent on. Head hurts, all because I don't know the name.

It's great stuff, was used in Vanilla Sky I believe. Tom Cruise is a big fan or something.

I'm glad you liked it, the Untitled track is just so .. hmm.

Nice? Perfect? It's quite beyond words.

Agaetis Byrjun is amazing, however when the fireworks start going off in Star Lfur (spelling? It's something like that anyway...) it is just one of the best moments in music ever ever ever. Find it, listen to it, love it. They're also amazing live, and make iTunes's visualizer work amazingly well.

Now go listen to some Bjork too - similarly brilliant, similar sort of style, similarly overlooked (though a millions times better know). Oh, and I also always hate both’s tunes first time round, but fall in love after a few listens.
