Date undefinedThe first time I put this disc in the player, I was driving home after work (I purchased this album on my lunch break). I had no idea what was in store for me.
The climax of Glosoli brought me to tears.
It was one of the most beautiful pieces of music I'd ever heard, and a mix of the intensity of the playing and the brilliance of the arrangement was simply too much for me to handle -- I couldn't help but cry.
It was the first time a song outside of the classical music realm actually made me cry because of the music alone -- certain lyrics have been known to affect me that way emotionally, but not a raw musical performance by a traditional guitar, bass, keys, drums band.
As I continued to listen to the entire disc, I discovered that it was one of the most amazingly performed, musically diverse and well produced albums ever created. And I hold that opinion to this very day.
It's essential.

Date undefinedI love Sigur Ros
I love many artists that Amazon helps selling their songs
BUT I HATE the simplicity of major BIG companies how they seem only to be interested in non creative MAINSTREAM thinking.
SO Amazon sells most if not all only songs in the .mp3 format
a LOW-FI format that never should have been invented in the first place as it gives audiophile quality a LOWER priority than anything else.
lossless formats to store music is the answer (.flac for instance) but major companies follow main stream values...
PLZ ppl, COMPLAIN that is THE ONLY way major companies are wiling to introduce change as soon as they have implemented their own strategies

Date undefinedthe first time i heard of this band was in a little pub where amateur djs played every once in a while. the song was glosoli the second track. i was immediately bedazzled. this band is the most amazing band ive ever heard. the genre is so different from anything ive heard before, comes close to ambient rock mixed with beautiful symphonies and melodies. the music is so beautiful so refreshing it will blow you away, this album is definitely my favorite and none of the tracks are boring or bad. simply a masterpiece
