Sigur Rós

[Professor Peedston]

Any respectable music store should at least have Agaetis Byrjun and ( ).

I got Von at the merch table the first time I saw them live, otherwise you'd probably have to order it on the internet.

[Šilvina]

:cool: excellent band.

[staring elf]

I've seen them live twice, and cried both times during the very first song (and it was the same song both times).


Which song? :(


I d/l this song!....is so kewl!


Indeed :P :)

[Professor Peedston]

I've seen them live twice, and cried both times during the very first song (and it was the same song both times).


Which song? :(



That would be the ethereal beauty of "Vaka," (Untitled 1 if you're a stickler :dozey: ) with which they've opened most (if not all) of their shows for the past couple years. :)

[Knight Of Cydonia]

Vidrar vel til loftarasa <--my fav song atm :P

*drewls* you saw them live, I bet that was fantabulous!!! :lol:

[Professor Peedston]

I've seen them twice, actually! The first time, I ended up driving all the way to New York because I wasn't sure they'd ever play around here again, and ended up spending a pretty sum of money between parking, the ticket, transportation, and the CD.

Then they played two miles from where I live about six months later. :P

[jewl*]

Lol!!! awww! Atleast you sawthem live!! twice!! the twice as many times as ive ever seen them!!

[staring elf]

i think sigur ros' music is boring and it has no special interest! lol my friends would kill me if they saw this....


What? :angry: :rolleyes: :P

flugufrelsarinn

hamagangur, ég þusti niður að læknum, bjargvættur.
ég gerði skip tilbúið og fór með litla bæn því ég var hræddur.
sólin skein og lækurinn seytlaði.
sóley - sóley flugurnar drepast.
en í dag á ég að bjarga sem flestum flugum.
með spotta í skip ég er með í hvorri hendi - ákveðinn.
ég kasta þeim út í hylinn og reyni að hala flugurnar inn áður en seiðin ná til þar sem þær berjast við strauminn og vatnið.
þannig líður dagurinn.
sjálfur kominn um borð, var farinn að berjast við bæjarlækinn sem hafði þegar deytt svo margar.
ég næ ekki andanum og þyngist við hverja öldu.
mér vantar kraftaverk því ég er að drukkna syndir.
ég reyni að komast um borð.
ég dreg í land og bjarga því sjálfum mér aftur á bakkann.
á heitan stein ég legg mig og læt mig þorna aftur.
ég kasta mér út í hylinn og reyni að hala flugurnar inn áður en seiðin ná til þeirra þar sem þær berjast við strauminn og vatnið.
gustur, allur rennblautur.
frakkur finnur hvernig báturinn er kominn og mesta straumnum og landið smám saman nálgaðist.
hann er bæði um borð í sjó og landi bjargandi flugunum sem farast hér.
þó sér í lagi sjálfum sér.
eilíft stríð og hvergi friður.
en það verður einhver að fórna sér.
dagarnir eru langir.

beautiful beautiful song :)

[staring elf]

starálfur

blá nótt yfir himininn
blá nótt yfir mér
horf-inn út um gluggann
minn með hendur
faldar undir kinn
hugsum daginn minn
í dag og í gær
blá náttfötin klæða mig í
beint upp í rúm
breiði mjúku sængina
loka augunum
ég fel hausinn minn undir sæng
starir á mig lítill álfur
hleypur að mér en hreyfist ekki
úr stað – sjálfur
starálfur
opna augun
stírurnar úr
teygi mig og tel (hvort ég sé ekki)
kominn aftur og alltalltílæ
samt vantar eitthvað
eins og alla vegginna

:kiss:

[Egghead]

I don't care if theres another thread for them, they need a new one. Holy sweet merciful god they are amazing.

If you haven't listened to this mind-altering band, go to http://www.sigur-ros.co.uk/index.html and download a few songs. you will not be disappointed.

I'm currently listening/watching a live recording of a concert in Louisville. The band stopped for 30 seconds in silence. not a single sound went by, not even from the audience. now what bands do that?

This stuff isn't of this earth. its cosmic.

[staring elf]

Awwww another sigur ros thread :D


This stuff isn't of this earth. its cosmic.


I totally agree, they are just too good to be true. :cool:

[fifi]

They're great and () puts my nephew to sleep :lol: :idea2:
The new album shall be good :)

[::Hayley::]

*bump*

yes. YES these people are fantastic..... i took your advice Egghead, and downloaded a few tunes :cool:

sleeeepy :rolleyes:

[badlydrawngirl]

This stuff isn't of this earth. its cosmic.


hell yes.

[The Noteburg]

just one of the greatest bands of our times ...

[*Justine*]

Yah, they are great.

[Joss]

I had them for a little while.
I deleted them after a week of so.

They are okay i guess,i dont get the fixation so many people have with them though.
Meh

[Knight Of Cydonia]

I adore them , i'd kill to see them live :stunned:

[Reilly]

Kill who?! :stunned:

[Corner Kid]

Sigur Ros live.... amazing...

[cheers2u]

these guys helped me through some tough times...needless to say, i love them too.

[Corner Kid]

Agaetis Byrjun is awesome when stoned. It makes the songs seem longer!

[badlydrawngirl]

Agaetis Byrjun


i like this more than () :D

[staring elf]

i like this more than ()

Me too, the second half of () is kinda boring, except #8 :smug:

[Joss]

I am downloading () again just to see what i missed since you are all loving it.
We will see.

[Egghead]

track 1 is beauty. track 4 is also beauty

[nightsurfer]

They are okay i guess,i dont get the fixation so many people have with them though.
Meh

I don't get the fixation also... but they're not bad, of course.

[jay88]

i saw them on the tele on the late noght glastonbury programme an i though they pretty good! although the coverage of Glastonbury was shite, they shown half on one muse song you know the headliners.

[colduser]

Oh, the decadent and sweet sounds of this group. Good god it's powerful stuff.

[nightsurfer]

Anyone knows where to get the font used?

[wayne]

i have the luxury of being able to listen to music all day at work on my headphones. i usually choose music that's not gonna intefer too much, ambient techno and experimental electronica being the usual choice. I got hold of Agaetis Byrjun one day just coz i liked the name of the band and the album and didn't do any work for the entire duration of the album. It absolutely blew me away. It's a truly georgeous album. Absolutely stunning. I've not seem 'em live yet but i'm gonna when they play in the UK next coz they just blow me away on CD and i can't imagine where they'd take me at a gig.

[badlydrawngirl]

i like this more than ()

one exam left jo! i cant be bothered to revise!

[Egghead]

they're already in europe. let us have them for a while. :angry:

[*Justine*]

Have you seen them before Egg?

[Egghead]

no, i couldnt go when they played toronto last. (i think it was halloween)

[*Justine*]

It was.

[Ireentje]

Hey, you are online. you seem to be one of the few. I'm gonna listen to this band.

[Socrates]

Sigur Rós are not great on record, but pretty amazing live. I recommend them as a therapeutic way to wean yourself off Coldplay. Go, my children. Go and scamper in the Icelandic fields of dew-spattered grass and frolicking pixies with Downs syndrome and all that drivel.

Good band.

[*Justine*]

Alright Socrates.. I guess you found a good band on here after all.

[staring elf]

http://sigur-ros.co.uk/board/viewthread.php?tid=12880


Don't you just know that there's gonna be loads of bedwetting Coldplay fans buying Sigur Rós CDs just coz they think it's cool.


Agreed :idea2: :dozey:

[amanuel]

Does anyone know if Jonsi and the guys are working on some new material?

[Socrates]

Yes, they are. Their fourth album is due out this year.

[amanuel]

Socrates,
thank you for the good news :)

[*Justine*]

When a band tours, you can assume that they have new material out, or will have out soon.

[Ireentje]

It's cool music. It's relaxing.

[Faust]

Yep, they're good.

[Egghead]

New album is recorded! :D :D :D

"sigur rós's new album, which has not yet been named, has been recorded and mixed. the album contains ten songs and is currently being mastered in new york. it is expected to be released in the autumn. we will notify you of the confirmed release date, as well as other details regarding the album, as soon as we have them."

A great long interview (http://sigur-ros.co.uk/media/intervi/mbl2.html)

[colduser]

^^What glorious news. Thanks for this info. The long wait begins........

[LiquidSky]

^I know,huh?! Now we have to wait for the release date

PS: I read in another forum that Damien Rice has an album coming out too.. :confused:

[colduser]

New Damien Rice. Double wammy of goods. I love it when there's great new tunes on the horizon. :)

[LiquidSky]

If it's true I am so looking foward to that album! :stunned: And to the other ones too of course.. :D

[colduser]

Let me know if you here anyting else about the new albums. I'll try and do the same :)

[LiquidSky]

^Aw sure thing ;) :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[colduser]

Thanks :)

[*Justine*]

Does anyone have news about the Toronto show? I haven't read anything regarding tickets for that show yet..

[colduser]

Here you are.

http://www.sigur-ros.co.uk/tour/index.html

[*Justine*]

Hitting 'tickets' for toronto doesn't do anything for me on that page.

[Egghead]

This is the type of news that makes me literally jump for joy. This should be amazing. One of the finst bands around.

[Woodsy]

Anyone going to any of the shows? I got reserved seats for the Montreal show! I'm very excited! :)

[Egghead]

im going im going im going IM GOING
IM GOING!!!!

got 4 tix for General Admission in a 900 seat venue here in Ottawa :D :D :D :D :D :D

[Egghead]

oh, and the entire presale has sold out. watch http://www.ticketmaster.com/artist/806800 for times for the regular sales.

[*Justine*]

^ They are getting too popular for me now. :(

I was thinking of going to the Toronto show, but my 'bf' doesn't want to, so I am not.

[Egghead]

i think its because they toured with Radiohead a while back. That and their songs are being included in soundtracks now.

Nobody else you can go with? :(

[*Justine*]

Nah.

[About A Girl]

you can go with moi! ill fly up just for you

[staring elf]

This is the type of news that makes me literally jump for joy. This should be amazing. One of the finst bands around.


Indeed, they are just different. :)

I'm amazed though, to see the number of threads on the official forum slagging off Coldplay *Martin in particular* :o those people need to get a life. :idea2:

[colduser]

I too am over the Chris Martin bashing but as long as they are popular, it will never cease.

[gareth brown]

^ They are getting too popular for me now. :(


:huh:

[StephBerryman]

Maybe i'm living in a bubble b/c i don't think Sigur Ros is popular enough..perhaps they are more popular in canada than the u.s.

[colduser]

I agree, Sigur Ros certainly has not hit it big in the states yet.

[Egghead]

Their entire presale sold out. Their entire tour probably WILL sell out. They toured with Radiohead.

How does that not make the band big?

[colduser]

^^They tour infrequentlly and a lot of people down here have never even heard of the band before. In Canada there appears to be much more interest. Sure Sigur Ros has its following here in the states but they are not commercially successful here.

[Sarah87]

I've only heard of them on this very thread and I was bored so I thought I'd try some new music...they're like this music I've always been searching for,all I can say is thank you.:)

[*Justine*]

By getting too popular I mean that I cannot just wait to get tickets to their shows anymore, it's a race just for any other popular band. Bands that are notably unknown, their shows take a while to sell out, people often do not feel rushed to get their tickets. Popular in an indie-ish sense. I didn't mean that they had blown up and were on tv commercials and stuff.. just that their general impact on fans had grown. I don't know if that makes any sense. More people like them now than I thought would.. maybe only in Canada.

[staring elf]

I'm worried though, as their next album is going to be released on EMI records. I don't want them to go "mainstream" :(

[*Justine*]

^ That's exactly what I am talking about with them going big.

[Professor Peedston]

They played a couple of songs that are on the new album the last time I saw them. And they sounded pretty much the same as what they've done up to now (the "Ba Ba Ti Ki Di Do" thing excepted, but that was for a Merce Cunningham thing anyway). But that show was also well over two years ago. So who knows how they may have changed and morphed.

I'd say they're definitely pretty popular here in the U.S. too. I didn't even try to get tickets for the presale because I hate having to rush for them. But they've been pretty popular here for awhile, both times I saw them were sold out shows, and both times were in moderately big venues, and that was several years ago.

I have faith that their new album will be as good as those that preceded it, but I refuse to read any reviews for this one, because I've just about had it with braindead critics comparing them to glaciers and geysers. :lol:

[cheers2u]

i love Sigur Ros!
...and here's a great interview that gives reason to love them more:

http://www.theage.com.au/news/music/icelandic-cool/2005/07/28/1122143956416.html?

quite disappointed with the album actually

[colduser]

You are one big downer after another Interpol. I can only hope that this album is better than you have claimed. I am beyond excited for its release and will reserve reviewing it until its release, and most times, great albums aren't necesarilly accessible upon the first few listens.

[Hicksy]

I personally think the new album is wonderful :cool:

you may enjoy the album but to me it just sounds like it had more potential but it was aiming at another direction. i was beyond excited listening to the other album s but i was upset when i listened to it because it all sounded like godspeed you black emperor with thom yorke singing some annoying words in icelantic. personally, the singing and the strings ruin the album, plus the music has a very big ignorance on life in particular. you may not see or understand what topics these are but i find it

I love the album. As much as I love Sigur Ros I still skip some songs on both Ageatis Byrjun and () simply because they put me into sleep. But this album has got a lot more intensity compared to the previous ones imho, very good stuff. I still get carried away while listening to Sigur Ros everytime. :)

[Egghead]

I was going to wait until official release but upon reading further glowing reviews, I am going to hear a few tracks. I'll still be buying the album of course.

I agree. I love the intensity of Takk, and it's also the first Sigur Ros album that i can listen to all the way through without falling asleep too! :lol:

[colduser]

I heard a few tracks and I was in heaven. There are a lot of strings but it is lush and grand. This album should be greatness.

Actually I've been listening to Avalon and Olsen Olsen pretty often nowadays. :D

Fantastic show. Glosoli was amazing. Viðrar was unbelievable (minus the moron saying "I think its over" during the 18 seconds..)
I had 3rd row seats, pretty much centre-stage (thanks to the klink presale that let me in 10 minutes before ticketmaster people)
Amina was lovely. Unfortunately the lighting wasn't that great and couldn't get any decent shots of them. And stupid people using their flash every 6 seconds. If you don't know how to turn it off, don't bring your camera.

[bonita]

i've heard alot about this band lately, but haven't heard any of their stuff

any songs to recommend? :cool:

[staring elf]

^ There are some good stuff here: http://sigur-ros.co.uk/media/

My recommendations would be untitled #1 (a.k.a. vaka), viðrar vel til loftárása, starálfur and untitled #8 (a.k.a. popplagið / the pop song).

Hope you like them. :)

[bonita]

thank you staring elf ;)

[mandymcnabb]

[Sienna]

wow, im starting to get really obsessed with this band...their music is flawless...
takk, is just brilliant. i can listen to it, over and over, and over..... :dozey:

btw. although im really not interested in what their lyrics mean, i guess i prefer to concentrate on the music, does anybody know what the tittles of the songs of both Takk and Von mean???

i found some translations for the () album last time...but that was about it... :/

[*Justine*]

Ya with Sigur Ros it's not about the lyrics, because they don't make any sense at all, the music itself is beautiful.

[Sienna]

^yeah i know!!!! reason why i refuse to know what they are saying....i just want to know the titles...

[knoxoverstreet]

SG is brilliant. I've first heard it 2 days ago, when I was going back from CP gig in Leipzig ;)
I can't sleep in buses or cars , and it was about 3-4 am, and () was playbacked quietly from speakers- very moody...

i've downloaded the whole discography, and it's awsome. I have to go shopping...;)

[J.]

Holy sweet merciful god they are amazing.
:D

[knoxoverstreet]

song no.1 and 8 from () are MASTERPIECES for me! awesome...

[fifi]

The new video for hoppipolla is so funny! :lol: :lol:
It's a load of old people acting like kids.. very funny and clever :lol:

[Breakfast_of_CHAMPION]

its great! Download it now!!!

[The Noteburg]

thanx ... once more a masterpiece by a fantastic band :)

[staring elf]

Oh my god, thanks so much for the link :kiss:

[lobo]

Would anyone be willing to share the new Sigur Ros b-side 'Hafsol' via usendit or rapidshare? That is if there are any fans of the band here...

[GuyBerryman]

Is this b-side on the Hoppipolla single?

[J.]

if anyone was so kind, I'd ask for that too.

[lobo]

Yep. That's the one. It just came out on the 28th of November.

[Sienna]

^omg! its a single...i have to get that! that's my fav song on the album!!!
is this goes on..i want advari to be a single :D

[Breakfast_of_CHAMPION]

Youre both very welcome! Glad you like it. I think its great! :D

[RICK8]

hmmmmmm...maybe I should start listening to them!!!!!

[Marisa]

its great! Download it now!!!

Thank you! I am blown away, everything they do is so fascinating to me.
:D

By the way, did you end up getting tickets to see them?
I hope to buy some but the show that I want to go to doesn't go on sale until Dec. 8th.

[Paratrooper]

Just a couple weeks ago, I got tickets to see them in Nashville in Feb. I've never seen them before, but I've heard it's incredible. :cool:

[Breakfast_of_CHAMPION]

I got front row tics for the Indy show, it will be my first show! I can't wait.

[Breakfast_of_CHAMPION]

I got front row to INDY! Go to a local grocery that sells ticketmaster right before they go onsale. That's how I did it. ;) *crosses fingers

[Marisa]

awesome! congrats!

[Sienna]

Breakfast_of_CHAMPION, i love you!!! :kiss: :kiss: :kiss: i have been wanting to see the video for this song since it my favorite song for TAKK is so fab!!! thanks a million!!!! :kiss: :kiss:

i was hoping they would come to the south so i could see them, but no luck there, alll their concerts are like a gazilion miles away... :cry: :cry:

[Faust]

Mmmm... I love Sigur Rós but I think they screwed this time with that video. :confused:

[gentleparachute]

Thanks for the link... Lovely sound - four and a half minutes of pure heaven :pleased: :D

[*andrea*]

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!! thank you so much mary!!!

[strummin1]

I have a pair of extra Sigur Ros tickets for NYC if interested. Face was $97
section 300 row B isle seats. email me at dlc0111@hotmail.com if interested

[Breakfast_of_CHAMPION]

Youre welcome, I love sharing Sigur Ros. The song is lovely.

[Sienna]

Mmmm... I love Sigur Rós but I think they screwed this time with that video. :confused:
why do you say that? i personally love it, i think is very emotional.
i might share your views on the video for Glosoli...not very fun to look at. :confused:

[*andrea*]

^i second that

[gentleparachute]

I agree it doens't grab at you but I think it's quite meaningful (though I dunno what the song itself's about :D)... When was the last time anyone actually saw a music video about a bunch of people older than 60?

[Breakfast_of_CHAMPION]

haha it translates to hopping in puddles. I think its about feeling young and enjoying doing things like you did when you were a child.

[gentleparachute]

Ah.... that's why they're hopping into the water :D

[Faust]

Mmmm... I love Sigur Rós but I think they screwed this time with that video. :confused:

Noo, but if Glósóli is so beautiful! well I think so...

[Sienna]

^yeah..well to each his own i say... :rolleyes: i personally love the video for this song...and as mary said(Breakfast_of_CHAMPION,)the title translates to Hopping puddles...very nice....
i believe its a pleasant change from bling and half naked girls in vidoes now... :/

[lobo]

Somebody? Anybody?

[The Noteburg]

Yeah would be really great... I'm also interested :)

[interpol]

can anyone post a link

[bruttiиo]

I looooove this video!

[Paratrooper]

I'd like it too. Thanks.

[Rynarah]

Sigur Ros could possibly be my all-time favourite band.

They are coming here to Australia next year and i am sooo going !!!!

And another thing. When i found out they where working on Takk a while ago i was kinda worried it might not measure up to the shear brilliance of ( ).

Boy was i wrong. Takk is astonishing

[TLo]

ok stupid question time.. how do u guys pronounce ()? lol coz when im talking to my friends about it.. i just go.. parenthesis.. end of stupid question time.

Sigur Ros is fricking awesome.

[Breakfast_of_CHAMPION]

i believe it is just untitled. Kind of like when prince changed his name to that stupid symbol. lol

[RICK8]

:lol: :lol: that reminds me prince is a :freak:

[Ondes Martenot]

i started to listen to Sigur Rós only few days ago.and after few days i can say that they are AMAZING.absolutely different music style.nothing compares to them.i'm so happy,that i've discovered them.their new album "Takk" is amazing,and one of the best of this year.

[Miss-Clementine]

Well I've finally decided to try some stuff for them and see if I like them or not. What songs do you recommend I should start with or whats their best album? Just want a couple of recommendations.

[Ondes Martenot]

try with "Takk",it's their last album,but i also recommend Agatis Byrjun and ( ),Von their first,i haven't heard yet :(

[rjuli]

Nyikita likes Sigur Rós :P

[Ondes Martenot]

^^^ :drunk: :dozey:

[rjuli]

:) :lol:

[RICK8]

just recently got into them and they are damm good!!!!

[Sienna]

^welcome to the club...sigur ros...is quite addicting...i started liking them with the () album...and now im a huge fan...too bad i cant see them live!! :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

[Ondes Martenot]

where are you,Sigur Ros fans???
they make the best music along Coldplay :/

[Merkaba82]

discuss

[Sienna]

well, im a huge fan of the band, and i love their albums so much...but if i was to choose my fav it's a tie between Takk And ( )...because ( ) made me love this band...i couldnt believe my ears when i first heard it...
i love Takk since its their most accessible album yet, i love all their songs and makes a great album to fall asleep to, its so relaxing!!
Agaetis Byrjun is just a classic....it contains songs that are timeless like:
Svefn g englar, Vidrar vel til loftarasa, Ny Batteri...
Von..is probably my least fav, but great notheless...Von, Haffsol...

[Ondes Martenot]

i haven't heard Von yet :/ so it will be 4th
Takk is very good,i really like some songs(Hoppipola,Milano,Glosoli...),but i prefer ( ) and Agatis Byrjun more,so Takk is 3rd
for me very hard to choose between ( ) and AB... :/
my fave song is on ( ),but i think i like AB more atm,so ( ) is 2nd
1st: AB,my fave SR album at the moment

and guys,have you been here? :

agreed.... for now. ( ) listened in its entirety is bliss, but its hard to listen to only a track or two at a time. Agaetis and Takk can be listened to a few at a time.
Takk and Agaetis change between #1 and 2 a lot for me.

[Lore]

oh.. A thread for Sigur rós..

their music is so beautiful.. i love it

[flor*]

i'll download sth.. beacause i've NEVER heard of them.. just read the name in this forum...

[Ondes Martenot]

^ hope can help you,for newbies ;) :

http://www.sigur-ros.co.uk/media/

if you like some songs,you can buy their albums

[Merkaba82]

TAKK still hasn't settled well with me. Althought the songs were brilliant when I saw them live in Baltimore. I wish I could explain it, it just doesn't seem to have the same "touch" or perhaps craftsmanship that I feel in AB or ( )

[Ondes Martenot]

what do you think about:

Ba Ba Ti Ki Di Do

?

[Merkaba82]

what do you think about:

Ba Ba Ti Ki Di Do

?

to be quite honest, I never really paid much attention to it. I have it, and listened quite a few times. Nothing really ever caught my attention from it though.

[Ondes Martenot]

i know it's not their best album(EP),but i would like to see another co-work with Radiohead,hopefully that'd be better

[flor*]

Honestly, it's not my type of music... :confused:

[Ondes Martenot]

^ :sick:

[coldplay_steph]

I've just started to get into Sigur Ros, mainly since joining this board and hearing lots about them. I think their music is stunning. Really individual, chilled out and quite haunting. Gives me goosebumps. I've never heard anything quite like it before.

As for the band themselves, i know nothing; have never even seen a pic of them. I think they are from Iceland? Thats all i know!
Can anyone give me any basic info? Cheers! :)

[Ondes Martenot]

^ good to see you here Steph ;) ,as far as i know,it's one of the best site about them,hope you'll find some interesting facts here:

http://sigur-ros.co.uk/ ;)

Mine would be:

1.Takk
2.Agaetis Byrjun
3.( )
4.Von

I can listen to Takk without skipping any of the songs. The album's got a lot more intensity compared to the previous ones. As for Agaetis Byrjun, I always tend to skip Sven-g-englar and Avalon. ( ) though, 1- 4 are fine, so is 8, but 5,6 and 7 are boring, those songs go on forever. And von, haven't listened to all the songs on the album yet. And those ones I heard I don't like them much either.

Yeah I know what you mean, I don't like Avalon or Sven-g-englar as much as the other songs but I think that certainly Agætis Byrjun has the best songs of the band which I love so much. ;) so mine will be:

1. Ágætis Byrjun (An alright start)
2. Takk (Thanks)
3. ( )
4. Von (Hope)

[Faust]

Btw, I also love Takk. :D

[Faust]

BUMB! ;)

What happened to all Sigur Rós fans on here?

[J.]

Ageatis Byrjun
( )
Takk
Von

Do you know "Andvari" song?

[Ondes Martenot]

of course,it's the 9th song on Takk

[J.]

:blush: :wiseguy: of course. :blush:

[Ondes Martenot]

:wacky: people

[Faust]

Yeah, Andvari one of the first songs of them I loved. :D

Right now I have like a big crush on ( ) specially songs like Untitled 3...

[Faust]

Btw people, what are your favourite songs on Takk at this time?

I like them all but these days I listen a lot to Gong, Heysátan and Sé lest. Awesome songs.

[Ondes Martenot]

i don't listen to Takk now,i prefer Agaetis Byrjun in these days,but if i have to choose a song it will be Milano or Saeglopur

[Ted]

Never heard anything of them until this weekend when I took a chance and downloaded Hoppipolla and f**k me if it isn't one of the most profound and haunting pieces of music ever! I also downloaded the rest of the album but it is taking me longer to appreciate the other songs. Takk so far is becoming one of my faves! :D

[Ondes Martenot]

^ very good taste Ted :thumbsup:

i think you should listen to Agaetis Byrjun as well,personally i think it's their best and if you like it as well get the rest too ;)

[Lance]

I finally discovered the studio version of "Gravity" off of the latest "Talk' single. I've also been getting into Sigur Ros lately. After seeing the Sigur Ros video, "Svefn-g-englar", I am a believer.
People keep commenting on the outro to "Gravity" sounding like Sigur Ros. I started playing along to the "Gravity" outro one piano key at a time. Once I learned the basic melody I did my best at playing and singing along in my best Sigur Ros vocals. Playing and singing along to the "Gravity" outro gave me goosebumps. I haven't heard a Coldplay song song so good since I first heard "The Scientist". It reminded me that life is good. I captured what I could to record.

Please supply your own Sigur Ros vocals and feel free to play a mean air piano as well.
Thanks for listening!
