:uhoh:

[ivet]

Von is so strange when i 1st heard, i thought my cd was damaged or something :wacky::lol:

I haven't warmed up to that album... :\

[ricardo]

Err, good interesting or bad interesting? Or "I just saw an ugly picture of Emma Watson, omg I didn't know that existed!" interesting?
Blasphemy! Get out!

[strawberryfields]

Blasphemy! Get out!

back to topic, is heima available on itunes? the dvd I mean

[Tnspieler1012]

I'm prety sure it is, actually.

[ricardo]

Really? Cool... well I have to check if it's available here <the dvd/movie/documentary>

[staring elf]

I pee my pants everytime I watch Heima, it's aweeeeeeesome! Period.

[ivet]

I've wanted to watch that, i was told it was amazing!

[Tnspieler1012]

it is, all of it should actually be on you-tube, check it out.

[blue_girl]

Heima..no words to describe it :bigcry: every human being should be able to watch this !!

[Tnspieler1012]

There was one movie website that voted it best documentary of all time, simply gorgeous.

[strawberryfields]

it is, all of it should actually be on you-tube, check it out.

Yes, I think all of it is on youtube.

Buy it, though! It deserves to be watched on a big screen in a quiet room with no distractions. :wacky:

[ivet]

:o why didn't i think of watching it on YouTube!! :escaping:!!!!


the only place i'm probably gonna find it is online... :P

[strawberryfields]

:o why didn't i think of watching it on YouTube!! :escaping:!!!!


the only place i'm probably gonna find it is online... :P

Nooo, don't do it, it'll ruin it! :bigcry:

*sends you my copy of the DVD*

[ivet]

:wacko: i watched the 10 first minutes... :shame:

I am gonna buy it on Amazon or something :D


I saw that you have seen them live... :bigcry: YOU LUCKY, LUCKY GIRL!!!!!

[strawberryfields]

^Yes I have. And it was one of the best days of my life :wacky:

[grids]

:lurking:

NJOSNAVELIN IS MY FOREVER FAVORITE! :D

[ricardo]

*bumps*

[William]

Wow a Sigur Ros thread :D They rock! especially Saegopulr.

[strawberryfields]

They just released a vinyl of Takk. I think it would sound incredible on a record player.

[Bernard]

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

:dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance:

YAAAAAY!!!

[Tnspieler1012]

I got a facebook notice saying Jonsi is singing in a new dance/trance song by Tiesto? :shrug:

[strawberryfields]

What? :surprised:

I didn't get any sort of notice...

[ricardo]

I did not see it, only of a painting competition on the jonsiandalex site....
buut no jonsi refrain from that teisto song :bigcry:

[Tnspieler1012]

I've been obsessed with the original version of von all day.

[staring elf]

I still can't get into Von after such a long time...

[ivet]

^same here. I like the song Von but the Hvarf - Heim version <3

[noonsun]

I just figured out that this is basically the best band ever.

[Tnspieler1012]

I just figured out that this is basically the best band ever.
they're up there

[Tnspieler1012]

ha! I was just running through some pitchfork reviews and found this:

"Glosoli" is the record's shining center, a rapturous, tinkling swirl, with Birgisson's high, squeaky howls (sounding perfectly thin and kitten-y) shooting through a thick, stomping mess of chimes and echoing guitar. The song builds slowly, finally bursting in a deafening explosion of heavily-distorted guitar slams (think, oddly, of Coldplay-- particularly the end of A Rush of Blood to the Head's "Politik").

[ricardo]

what's the meaning of life? what's bliss?

:confused: that's quite a review!

[Sleep]

Wow. I just started listening to this band. I'm in love.
Such a great feeling when you discover an awesome band...

[Tnspieler1012]

:confused: that's quite a review!
obviously there was more to the review than that, I was just amazed to see pitchfork compare them to coldplay of all bands.

[Sleep]

I just discovered this band.

What songs should I listen to?

[ricardo]

LOL

[ivet]

ALL OF THEM.

[Tnspieler1012]

why don't I save those noobie recommendation posts we keep rewriting? :P *goes back to find older posts* :escaping:...

:escaping2: here....

Probably Takk... followed by Agaetis Byrjun, all their albums are amazing though. But the general consensus is that these two are the best. ( ) is darker, minimalist and post-rocky, and meo suo i eyrum... is their most accessible and upbeat album.

listen to hopippolla first, if you like it then we talk

[Tnspieler1012]

I still can't get into Von after such a long time...


^same here. I like the song Von but the Hvarf - Heim version <3
I actually much prefer the von version, its such a refreshing change from predictable climaxes, and you can really savor the simple brilliance of the arrangement, a priceless intimacy like all alright or vaka. Obviously its not to be compared with the other albums, they were on the verge of scrapping it altogether...its mostly just amelodic original ambient recordings with three or four roughly sketched out songs. However if you approach it as just that, and not as what you hoped it would be (pun), you can actually really appreciate the originality and innovativeness artiness of the work. On tired evenings when I'm not quite up for the emotional intensity of even the softest or poppiest sigur ros song, I'll switch to this album and adore it for its cool sounds and contrast from everything else they ended up doing. Tracks like the opener seem to almost expand on brian eno concepts, but in ways he probably never imagined.

[ivet]

Eeeehhhh... if i ever need something like that I just listen to Nyja Lagid or Hljomalind (1999 live) <3


I'm not gonna lie, actually just last night i was feeling super down and i listened to Nyja Lagid right before I went to sleep and I cried like a baby but I felt so much better... true story.

[Italian Plastic]

BUMP!

[ricardo]

Fav string arrangement?

[Tnspieler1012]

awesome new sig eddie.

I'd have to say either Staralfur, Viorar vel til Loftarasa, Ara Batur, Andvari....Takk easily is the best album string wise, but I'll go with the first two I just mentioned, Staralfur getting extra points for having a palindromic section, and samskeyti as an honorable mention, because the strings are soul crushingly beautiful.

[ricardo]

Agree with you

[Italian Plastic]

Samkeyti (Live Heima version) is sooooooooo good.

[Tnspieler1012]

the arranged the songs in heima so perfectly. I knew even before watching it that samskeyti was one of the best closing songs ever. Its on my 'funeral' list.

[strawberryfields]

Fav string arrangement?

Staralfur without a doubt. :heart:

[ricardo]

Bass, piano, guitar, drumming?

[Italian Plastic]

Untitled 8 (forgot the real name)

[ricardo]

What, guitar bass drumming ?

[Italian Plastic]

Oh, piano...right. I FREAKING LOVE THAT SONG

[ricardo]

Piano?!

[Italian Plastic]

I meant Untitled 8 :P it doesn't have piano

[Tnspieler1012]

lol, let's see.... :smart:

Bass:
Early Stuff like Svefn-g-englar and Ny Batteri are extremely simple, but really effective in the context of the song.
But my top picks would have to be...
Hafsol (technically he's playing Bass)
E-bow (need I say more!?)
Glosoli
Hljomalind
Inni mer/vid spilum/festival (all very similar, but great)

Piano:
skip the riff raff

Viorar Vel Til Loftarasa
Hoppipolla
Vaka
Meo Suo I Eyrum
Saeglopur
Ara Batur

(Honourable Mentions: Fljotavik, Samskeyti, Njosnavelin, Milano, )

Bowed Guitar:
Svefn-G-Englar
Glosoli
Saeglopur
Von (Hvarf-heima version)
Popplagio
(honourable mention: Flugufrelsarinn & Viorar Vel Til Loftarasa)

Plucked Guitar:
Agaetis Byrjun
Godan Daginn
Olsen Olsen
Ilgresi
Popplagio

Drums:
Popplagio (nuts)
Ny Batteri (messed up cymbal)
Alafoss (unique)
Von (Von Version)
Glosoli (marching effect)
(Honorable mentions: Gobbledigook, Agaetis Byrjun)

[Italian Plastic]

OHHHH now I get it ;)

Bass:
Festival, the end is so awesome.

Bowed Guitar:
Svefn-G-Englar
Festival (again...)

Plucked Guitar:
Popplagio
Gobbledigook (awesome...)
Agaetis Byrjn

Piano:
Samskeyti
Staralfur
Ara Batur
Hoppipolla

Drums

oh yes I forgot to mention that :P

[Italian Plastic]

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

It makes me want to live in Iceland

[ivet]

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

[Litany]

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:

[Crests of Daylight]

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

[the_gloaming09]

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!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_7HzMZDu7o

[the_gloaming09]

came across this remix... and i really love it! i've been obsessed with it for the last day:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDkdv9cwHJ0

[Tnspieler1012]

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...

Nope. Seek help.

[ricardo]

I want Heima. Damn mexican iTunes store.

[Tnspieler1012]

I got heima for Christmas. yay me.

[William]

I got it too :nice:

Love the extras!

[Electric.Candy]

Maybe I'll check them out.

[Tnspieler1012]

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

[eglantine]

I still need to find it somewhere, but the problem is they're not selling it anywhere close (or at least I haven't noticed it) :bigcry:

[William]

Buy it online? Or you want me do send a download link? :nice:

I loved the live stuff on the second disc! I got the Takk digipack also which is hanging on my wall right now...

[eglantine]

I was thinking of buying it online, yeah, but it might cost me more than buying it in the actual shop. And I don't have that much money anyway, so....*














*A download link would therefore be great. :sneaky:

[ivet]

track 4, right?

[fietssleutel]

Mais oui. :nice:


That second acoustic version is amazing. *rips* :wacky:

[IMightBeWrong]

I'm sick of seeing 'Gone Fishin' on their website for live gigs. Release some new music you lazy bastards.

Someone should totally make one of those Hitler reaction videos for this...here

During an interview to promote his solo debut, Sigur Ros lead singer Jonsi Birgisson announced that Sigur Ros are taking an indefinite break, as he's off promoting his own record, and the recording sessions that were started for the new Sigu Ros album in 2009 were scrapped.

Seconded :wacko:

Jónsi's boyfriend Alex seems to Sigur Rós' Yoko Ono in a way...
I mean, it all started with the Jonsi and Alex album.

I'm probably wrong though :dizzy:

bump for Sigur Rós... rediscovering them tonight... Oh my Jesus, so fucking good...

[the_gloaming09]

you should watch Vanilla Sky... the songs by them in the movie work so perfectly

[ivet]

I wanna watch that so bad :bomb:!!


I've been looking for a torrent :angel: but no luck :P

[the_gloaming09]

this person has it on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/user/XxCarnagezZ

[ivet]

:sick:


I found a torrent, actually. I'm excited to watch... is it good?

[the_gloaming09]

oh yeah! it's a great movie, I loved it!


The soundtrack is great for the movie, and the songs work well within it.


At one point it may seem really confusing, but by the end it all makes sense.

[ivet]

:surprised: I just might go to sleep naow so i can wake up early to watch it tomorrow morning :wacky:

[Heey Yaaa!]

Sigur Ros moved up to my second favorite band behind Radiohead today. Just thought you guys might want to know that. :D

[ivet]

:clap:


() is sooooooo amazing... I might just have to buy it Friday... everytime I go to Hastings I see it, it's the only copy and I'm so motivated to purchase it but I always find something else... :bomb:
Don't fret, tonight has changed my mind.... It will be purchased!
I also don't worry cos I know these Arkansans don't know shit about good music so I'm not worried about someone taking it before me :blush: !

Apparently my teacher asked my friends what album I wanted but didn't have :cheesy:

^Whaaaaaattt?!?! That's :awesome:

[ceolsige]

I started listening to Sigur Ros recently. :wacko:

[Heey Yaaa!]

Alight so I'm looking to buy one of the bows that Jónsi uses..Where can I find one and would I be a complete copycat for buying one?

[IMightBeWrong]

Alight so I'm looking to buy one of the bows that Jónsi uses..Where can I find one and would I be a complete copycat for buying one?



Yes. Do your own thing!

[Heey Yaaa!]

Yes. Do your own thing!

Come on I bet you can come up with some crazy new sounds with that thing. :wink3:

[Tnspieler1012]

Alight so I'm looking to buy one of the bows that Jónsi uses..Where can I find one and would I be a complete copycat for buying one?
its a cello bow. Its harder than it looks though, me and my R.A. tried working it out with his guitar and his sister's bow. The sound is awesome, but its tricky to control.

[the_gloaming09]

its a cello bow. Its harder than it looks though, me and my R.A. tried working it out with his guitar and his sister's bow. The sound is awesome, but its tricky to control.

hmm... i always thought it would be interesting to try and get those sounds that people like Jonsi and Jimmy Page were able to.

Why is it hard to control?

[Tnspieler1012]

Well, a bow isn't really made to be used on guitar strings, so it takes some time to get a consistent, droney sound out of all the friction. Works much better on gibson's obviously.

[the_gloaming09]

oh ok... i've always thought it'd be cool to try that out one day... i've been tempted to buy a violin/cello bow

[Heey Yaaa!]

Well, a bow isn't really made to be used on guitar strings, so it takes some time to get a consistent, droney sound out of all the friction. Works much better on gibson's obviously.

Do you think it would work well on a Fender Start?

And would this cheap one work?
http://www.amazon.com/Saga-LB-12C-Full-Brazilwood-Cello/dp/B001FB5Z26

[Italian Plastic]

Yeah, Cello bows are the best.
You have to put a lot of that Rosin or whatever stuff on the bow so it can actually grip the strings.

I've used my brother's violin bow a couple of times but it doesn't work too well

[IMightBeWrong]

Come on I bet you can come up with some crazy new sounds with that thing. :wink3:

Grease up your dick and go wild! :D

[ivet]

Viðrar vel til loftárása is a lovely song! :wacky:
The video is really sad, though



/random Sigur Ros input of the day

[eglantine]

Probably my favourite video..

[ivet]

Guess what I bought today!?!


:wacky:







( ) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[the_gloaming09]

nice!

[fietssleutel]

I'm going to give ( ) to my father for his birthday *checks time* tomorrow. :cool:

[ceolsige]

I think ( ) is my favorite.

[fietssleutel]

( ) > Ágætis byrjun > Takk... > Með suð > Von :D

[ivet]

:D I don't like Von :disappointed: I dunno if that makes me a failed fan... I just can't get into it... I was gonna give it another chance sometimes soon but I'm just MEH.


^I agree :wacko: except I'd probably have Med sud... before Takk... :blush:

[the_gloaming09]

I haven't listened to Von yet. I have it on cd, but haven't had a chance to listen to it

[fietssleutel]

I haven't listened to Von that much, but I can't get into it either. It's just so.. weird. :D I do like the Hvarf/Heim versions of the song Von though (especially the Heim one :awesome:).

Með suð is kind of short. :(

[the_gloaming09]

I have heard that Von is really weird. I'll listen to it someday.


Með suð is good from what I've heard. I really like the bottom half of the album a lot. I have to listen to it more.

[ivet]

^^Hvarf-Heim version songs are incredible, though :D



Með suð... Gobbledigook... Illgressi,...Fljotavik <3

^the video for Gobbledigook has a whole bunch on naked people running around ...the first time I saw it I was like...AHHHHHHHHH!!!! :dead:

[the_gloaming09]

not really a fan of Goobledigook.

my favs off that album are: Ara Batur, Fljotavik, Illgressi, and All Alright

[ivet]

I like it cos of the "lalalallalalallalal lalalallalalala" :wacky:

[the_gloaming09]

IMO it sounds like it could be an Animal Collective song more than a Sigur Ros song

[fietssleutel]

The first part of the album is too much.. in your face, or something. Especially the first two tracks. I really like Við spilum endalaust though. It's just the right amount of happiness. :nice: But I think my favourites off the album are Fljótavík/Straumnes and Ára bátur.

It took me probably about 5 listens to realize that All Alright was actually sung in English. Hadn't really paid much attention to the tracklisting I guess. :D

[Heey Yaaa!]

Yeah, Cello bows are the best.
You have to put a lot of that Rosin or whatever stuff on the bow so it can actually grip the strings.

What is that? Just lubricated stuff?

I only have Með suð, Ágætis byrjun and Hvarf/Heim. How much am I missing out on? :P

[Heey Yaaa!]

The Riceboy Sleeps ambient album is incredible.

Well if you're talking about LPs, you're missing out on ( ), Von and damn it you haven't even listened to Takk?
But there's also the Saeglopur EP which is awesome and Ba Ba Ti Ki Di Do...

[Tnspieler1012]

^awesome

Is anybody elses favourite album Hvarf/Heim or is it just me? :heart:
Hljomalind and Hafsol are brilliant, but I don't see how it could be anyone's favorite.

This song is and will always remain to be one of my all time favorites... at one point is was my favorite... Epically legit!

There's a girl who I teach French to (since she's from the english part of Canada) and she traveled a lot around the world. My jaw dropped when she told me she saw Sigur Rós live in Iceland :o I was soooo jealous :P

[ivet]

:o

She's so lucky :wacky:

I must see them before I die or I will have died sad :sad:

[Italian Plastic]

^ me too.

They came here a couple of years ago, wish I'd been a fan then!

[the_gloaming09]

i've been listening to "Nyja Lagio" a lot... so amazing!

[ivet]

:heart: It's incredible, huh?! :wacky:

[Heey Yaaa!]

[Heey Yaaa!]

Is there only that live recording of it?

Sorry for my stupidity here....:cry:

[the_gloaming09]

i think so, but it sounds so good, that to me it doesn't sound live (the only hint is the cheers @ the end)

[ApproximatelyInfinite]

Hello everyone! :D I haven't been in this thread for ages. I'm on a huge Sigur Ros kick lately, though, I think because of all the excitement for Jonsi's new album, and the fact that I'm going to Iceland in about a month :dance:.

I have a favor to ask: I asked in Multimedia about this several days ago, but I haven't had any luck yet. Does anyone happen to have We Are Scientists cover of "Hoppipolla" that they could post/send me? I'd love to avoid doing a crap audio rip of the YouTube version, and all the links I find on the board here are dead and ages old, so if someone has it on their hard drive that they could share, I'd be greatly appreciative! :nice:

[ivet]

Sorry for my stupidity here....:cry:

It's been what...over a decade since it was performed live and no, there's not a studio recording but... it's so ok cos it's so fucking good :wacky:

I can't stop listening to Heima, it's just so simple. I actually came across last week when I watched the extras of heima...
YouTube- Sigur Rós - Heima

[ivet]

^Beautiful, as always <3

[Italian Plastic]

I just listened to Takk at 1 AM

Listening to Ágætis Byrjun today.... ahhhhhh...so perfect :heart:

[William]

Heim version > original version
Just saying...

[staring elf]

I'm seeing Jonsi in Cologne in May 31st, ahh sooooooooooo excited!

[fietssleutel]

I'm seeing him June 2nd. :D Really excited for that. Judging from the videos so far, it's gonna be pretty much the most amazing thing ever. :cheesy:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOQVaoYtAsA

I love the Ágætis sound so much. :heart:

[eglantine]

Ahhh that's awesome! Pics and review, please ;)

[fietssleutel]

There is no way I will leave without my camera. :P

[the_gloaming09]

I'm also seeing Jonsi (sometime in May, forgot the date)

[fietssleutel]

I hate that I will have to wait till June because I kinda want the show to be a surprise. :disappointed:

Here is a little preview video for those who haven't seen it yet:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8t6ABdBigNc

How could this be NOT awesome? :cheesy:


Oh, he's gonna be in Europe in August as well. Hopefully he'll do some festivals. :nice: (i.e. I wouldn't mind seeing him then for a second time)

[eglantine]

I just wish he was doing a Central/Eastern Europe tour, too. It kind of sucks he stays on the west.

[ivet]

I could be seeing him but i dunno, he's a little to far away for my parents to fly with it... SUCKS TO BE 1 YEAR UNDER LEGAL ADULT AGE :bigcry:

[Wherrwhfer]

I just brought "Takk..." and I am absolutely loving it! :heart:

[Italian Plastic]

It kind of sucks he's staying on one side of the world

[the_gloaming09]

this album by Jonsi & Alex is so good!!!


I listened to this album last week and it really helped me to fall asleep... not saying it's a bad thing.

[Crests of Daylight]

Is it weird in any way that my favourite Sigur Ros song is Samskeyti? :blank:
