Sigur Ros
 

In case you need more pure beauty in your life - and if you don't, what is your life for anyway - listen to Sigur Ros.

Throw away all your preconceptions of what music should be. Here is what you needed it to be all along.

Put the ipod phones on, because this is the soundtrack to your life you were always hoping for. No matter where you go, for what purpose, it will make more sense with this music playing.

This is the sort of thing radio will never ever play for you, because it would cause half the listeners to scream rushing to turn it off, and the other half not wishing to ever listen to anything else, ever again.

This is the sort of thing half the people will shudder to call "experimental", and the other half will wonder how their soul became the subject of the experiment.

Sigur Ros
 

Icelandic band with its own language. From the land of Bjork.

When I first heard them I too embraced their sound. Good stuff. Ethereal. I agree that some folks would not "get" their music, or discount it as elitist, but its got a certain purity that can raise the hair on your back.

I can't listen to it all the time, however. It can be a bit draining in large doses.

Seems that I listen to the best radio in the world because they play Sigur Ros

I like them. Thanks.

I'd only heard of them by name but never the music until recently, when the BBC made a documentary and used a Sigur Ros song (hoppipolla? Dunno if that's how it's spelt) for the intro, and I just thought, Wow! Now I've heard a bit more of them I think I'm becoming part of the half who are left stunned by them, but in a good way!

I listen to Sigur Ros every day at work, as background msic. Lots of people ask about it.

:joylove: This is amazing stuff. It's already made an intolerable day tolerable, just by coming through my headphones.

You guys like Goldfrapp? Goldfrappe is pretty cool.
