Sigur Ros

[Sigur Rós]

ok, i was thinking there was a fansite that described all their releases or something

It's taken from www.smekkleysa.is

Sigur Ros has made some really beautiful music......i just wish they'd make a 40 minute album.....if this means 4 or 5 songs, so be it

i'm a real believer in listening to an album the whole way through (as the artist intended it) before making a judgement on it.....but it's really really hard to listen to an entire Sigur Ros album

any word on their next album?

[The Idiot]

any word on their next album?

I believe its due sometime next year (possibly April)? In any case, the Sigur Ros fellow probably knows.

All I know is that they've started recording it at Àlafoss studio. Which means it will be released sometime next year.

This is what their site says:

new album in the works- 14th august 2003
the band has begun work on their fourth lp. likely contenders for the album are the new songs which the band has been playing at concerts lately, such as gong (that's right, that title of this song is actually the english word 'gong', not 'göng', as previously reported), mílanó and salka.

Negative. ba ba is.

I can not seem to find the exact bootleg that Cameron Crowe used for Njosnavelin in Vanilla Sky. I've heard many different versions of the song, but none of them seem to be as good as CC's version. Somebody please post if you know where to find it or if you know how to make a copy of it yourself!

Released March 23rd? It was available on the iTunes store a month ago.

And as far as the ba ba / ti ki controversy, I think it's a toss-up.

[Seraphim]

With all respect,

but I think that ( ) is better than Agaetis Birjun.  

( ) is more coherent, consistent than the first album. It's heavier, darker...maybe that's the reason some people don't like it as much as Agaetis Birjun.

But ( ) is a perfect album, from the first till the last second. I don't know more than two or three albums which are so perfect... Just push the Play-button, sit or lie (or was it lay, my English could be better, I'm sorry people :P ) down and you are totally gone for more than sixty minutes...

( ) takes some more time to get used to than Agaetis, I guess, because it's less accessible, but please, try to listen to this album at least times, and I'm sure you'll end up liking this like almost no other album.

By the way, anyone familiar with Sigur Ros' and Hilmar Orn Hilmarsson's soundtrack "Englar Alheimsins" (Angels of the Universe)?

Very dark and sombre, highly minimalistic sounds. The Islandic films is about a schizophrenic boy, so expect the music to support that dark atmosphere. Recommended.

BTW, I didn't reed all the post on the pages of this topic, so if this was said earlier by other people- I'm sorry.

Yep, it's a good soundtrack - Have you seen the film or red the book??

Nope and nope.

Still waiting for the film to be broadcasted somewhere in my "area" (that means, Dutch, Belgian, British or German national television).

Haven't read the book yet, either. I'm quite a reader though, but I have a list of just too many books yet to read.

I'm very interested in both the film and the book, though.

i listen to (_) more than AB.
i think the first half of (_) is perfect,
but side 2 is very redundant.
i wish the album was 1-4, 5, & 8.
6 and 7 seem to pretty much be rehashing of 5 or AB
and the use of the same lyrics or "vocal sounds" gets really old.

[Jeremy Blackman]

( ) is bleaker and more cynical, and there's nothing wrong with that... I don't think it "falls apart" in the second half, it just gets bleaker... that's the point.

I would never say it's better than AB, though.

[Pubrick]

i would say it's not as good.

there's only so many times i can hear sumone say "usayfla,usai. usaylflo due" and whatever else. i much prefer icelandic.

() doesn't suck or anything.. musically its on par with AB, but lyrically, and in replayability/longevity the latter has yet to be matched.
