Sigur Rós just ...

Sigur Rós are Islands musical export hit, they have sold but already more than 2 million albums worldwide. If you will compare the size of the population (309 699 inhabitants, Stand 1.4.2007) so quickly clear the albums have not only bought Icelanders! 2005 with their last album Takk They thanked their fans that they can live with the music, because Takk means thank you in Icelandic, what a beautiful tribute. Now located on 2 November before the new work of the band called Hvarf / home. A declaration of love to this small, cold country, the people there and to nature. If you listen here exactly knows where he was to spend the annual leave in 2008 because a taxi to Paris or I've never been to Ney York, however, are only short trip recommendations. The double-CD features five new songs on electronic (Hvarf), as well as with an acoustic absorption of six titles (Home), which was on the last tour Iceland. Apart from the awesome revamped from what actually dates back to 1997, there are great new pieces based on already known strengths of the band: electronic ground level by organ, keyboards (Kjarri Sveinsson) and percussion (Orri Páll Dýrason) harmonize with delicate bass tones (Georg Holm) and guitar sounds to the incomparable voice of the singer and guitarist (Jónsi Birgisson). The remarkable aspect of the music is that you can not imagine that it ends at some point. As an inner rhythm makes you irreplaceable in the background as well as the conscious listening. That's the danger, because after almost 80 minutes you through both CDs and must start from scratch again. Only then you realize that something is different than its predecessors already published. It has become a bit more rock (one might say almost psychedelic) and especially the vocals share has doubled felt, thus is one only really clear that you can not do anything with the language and everything somehow sounds similar. Perhaps this is intentional to more good look at this a love letter to Iceland and maybe learn a few words. Recommendation: Who does not know Sigur Rós should begin with another album, or DVD of Hvarf / home, for everyone else: Buy!
