I am at a loss for words. They cannot accurately describe the hugeness of this.

The music sounds very, very similar to some of the stuff by Pink Floyd*…only, err, Icelandic of course!
[*] – I wonder if that was an influence?
Great video. Interesting use of colours too.

I think Iceland has Awesome Police. Like, if you're not awesome, you get deported.
That looks amazing.

Sigur Ros is amazing. I still have yet to go to their concert though. It's supposed to be incredible. I think that will be one of my life goals: to go to a Sigur Ros concert.

These guys are prob one the best bands on the planet.
Saw them in NYC a few years back and once in Atlantic City, NJ sometime after.
Not only is Sigur Ros awesome – so is their opening band they bring to all their shows – Amina, an all female band that acts as Sigur Ros's "backing" band during the Sigur Ros set. They're set was pretty unreal as well.
I think both bands were in awe/appreciation of the love NYC gave them…but its so deserved…for both bands.
Here's a pretty cool youtube video of Amina – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NfaEc2qEEws
ps. go to iceland when ya can…it's amazing. airwaves fest is a good time to go because the place is electrified by all the people coming into town for the music festival. great people, amazing country.

Sigur Ros certainly has a sound you don't here everyday – and that's in a good way – I can only take so much mainstream audio doodoo….
