There is a thread about where you live, if you have the time, i would love to hear about argentina and i'm sure the others would too.....there are lots of sigur ros fans on this forum.

The band is amazing. It creates an atmosphere like no other.

HotaHota · 04-17-2006, 03:51 AM

Sigur Ros is soooo amazing. Takk is a good album, but it's not my favorite. MY favorite is ( ), then it's probally Agaetis Byrujen (that's probally spelled wrong). Sigur Ros always surprises me with what they do. I don't find many of thier songs to get boring, especially the ones ovey 8 minutes. I love this band, and you will find a bunch of Sigur Ros fans here.

MrsPink · 04-17-2006, 11:20 AM

It`s spelled Àgætis Byrjun

I presume that the letter Æ isn`t on every keyboard. No, not many of them are boring. Just really special! I usually listen to it when I drive around in the mountains in Norway. Gives me the real feeling of nature!

Swish · 04-17-2006, 01:40 PM

Up till now, I had been listening to Sigur Ros solely on the tracks I downloaded from the internet. These were great, and was the reason I was a little nervous about buying Takk. T'was hard of me to see how an album could match the individual tracks

I was wrong. I was more wrong than thought possible. It was delivered today and I have been listening to it almost non-stop since then. Not since the first time I listened to OK Computer have I felt this way about an album.

Each song is constructed with brilliance and care. Each song is beautiful and amazing. Each song makes me glad that I brought this album. Each song makes me want to thank you lot for introducing me to them. But that's not the best bit.

This album flows perfectly. Each song flows and blends in with the next. The first song sets up the second song brilliantly, and the way Glosoli just smoothly flows into Hoppipolla made me realise that this wasn't any ordanary album I was listening to. And what's more amazing is that it carries on. On most albums there are tracks which you could take away and no-one would mind or notice. Not here. Although I was a bit wary of the length at first, once I started listening to it I could think of a million reasons to keep it this way and not one to change it.

If you haven't got it, buy it. Buy it now. I'm off now to see whether I can afford Ágætis byrjun

MrsPink · 04-17-2006, 03:08 PM

Hoppipolla is such a sweet song. Hoppipolla means to jump into small puddles of rainwater. And that`s what the song is about

Wooonderful

MrsPink · 04-18-2006, 01:06 PM

Finally I`ve got it! The album Takk from Sigur Ròs. I`ve been looking at it at the record store for a long time now, but I just could not afford it. Then finally a good friend of mine bought it for me as an delayed birthday present. And OH MY! I love it! I`ve only heard Hoppipolla from that album, and I just couldn`t wait to hear more. And now it`s MINE! Oh my, it`s beautiful! It`s genius! It`s a masterpiece!

Takk Elise for at du gav meg denne cd`en.) Elskar deg!

Can we come to the wedding

I have to say... it's easy to fall in love with these guys. There was nothing of them in my collection until maybe a month ago... now I have three albums and every day they grow on me more. ( ) got 3 playings yesterday!

MrsPink · 05-03-2006, 03:08 PM

Any of you heard the Hlemmur soundtrack by Sigur Ròs?

MusicMan · 05-03-2006, 08:21 PM

No, I've only heard the Englar Alheimsins soundtrack. I'll do some digging and see if I can find out what you're talking about.

Any news on the Hlemmur Soundtrack? I`ve heard it a thousand times now, and it`s sooo beautiful it makes me want to cry!

MrsPink · 05-03-2006, 09:07 PM

Yeah! You do! It seems very interesting!

Maquiladork · 05-05-2006, 02:02 AM

I saw Sigur Ros at the MSG Theater in NY on Feb. 9, 2006. Third row, center seats. It was spectacular. Did anyone else here go? Something really amazing happened during one of the songs. I don't know the name of the song--it was from their Von album. It's the one where the bass player taps a sort of beat on one string of his guitar with a drumstick throughout. Anyway, in a matter of maybe a minute and a half, the lead singer, the bass player, and one of the violinists each broke a string. It's probably a musician's worst nightmare during a live performance. But, if you weren't there to see the little bit of scrambling around on the stage, you would never know that anything went wrong. It was pretty cool. Great show. I'm bummed that they're not coming to NY again any time soon.

MrsPink · 05-11-2006, 12:03 AM

Yeah! I was captured by it for a very long time earlier today
