Anyone here who knows Sigur Rós? They're an Icelandic band with a unique music i find it difficult to desribe. Maybe the word magical fits.. You should listen to their album "Agaetis Byrjun."

I love Sigur Rós. Island has this unique power of bringing out artists which fit in no category. You´re always sure to get a fresh breeze from the ice - land.
What´s your fav song? Mine is Olsen Olsen. The title is very islandic.

The only song by Sigur Rós I have ever heard is "Svefn-G-Englar", which was on the soundtrack to the movie Vanilla Sky.
I do like that song, but I haven't heard anything else by them

I first heard about Sigur Ros on VH1, they had a special on new bands or something like that and this guy recommended it. They're awesome. The music is so entrancing and flowing, and I love listening to it and not knowing what he's saying. I love the mystery.
Did you guys know the guitar player plays the guitar with a violin bow? I think that's very cool.

I knew it. I saw a live concert on Tv. It´s astonishing what sounds you can make with instruments. Like playing the saw.

Sigur Rós are fantastic, brilliant, wonderful, amazing and I think the word 'magical' really fits their music. It's like tehy describe the entire Icelandic landscape in their songs.
I've seen them live in concert and that was such a magical evening, like I was taken on a long wonderful journey.
Every1: GO LISTEN!!

Oh, my goodness! I have just had the pleasure of hearing Sigur Ros for the first time and I'm so in love with this band, it's not even funny. It's so beautiful, I'm speechless.  |

Just got this album as well. At the Pitt M&G, someone (I think) was giving this album to Tori. Tori mentioned Matt Chamberlain likes this album a lot. Once I listened to it yesterday (for the first time), I noticed the first tune was what played right after the second encores of the first leg shows.
Seems pretty good so far...
