Minimal music doesn't get any better than this: ethereal, unpretentious, transcendental - this is very spiritually refreshing for this new millenial age.. KUDOS and thanks for this one!! - JMAN
I too found Sigur Ros through Vanilla Sky and have come to love their music. I personally feel this is a wonderful performance, sung with great feeling and almost tangible reverence. Over the years I have been moved by great music, especially Pink Floyd and Bob Dylan in their time, also truly special, but in my humble opinion Sigur Ros have surpassed all before. I'm not a religious man, but this will be the music I wish to be played at my funeral. Perhaps, maybe, it will take me to heaven.

If that’s what you hear...so be it. However, that’s not the true translation of Jonsi’s improv vocals. Watch and listen to other versions and you’ll note, he doesn’t Improv his way through the same way...

Awesome! I arrived in Reykjavík some days later after the concert. I wish I had been there.
exactly. brilliant. goes to show why having a sound that is all your own beats being being in the box any day. even if its a very neat, shiny, polished box.
yes. well put. i only knew about them two years ago and i honestly feel bad for my own former musically miserable life eh eh. pretty much ruined it for me, regarding other people making music out there... and their humble and human nature is a breath of fresh air in this rock-star-ridden industry..
I'm a rapper who writes lyrics and now learning how to make my own beats, and I can also enjoy this type of music like Sigur Ros (huh! :O how dare I even take their name in my dirty mouth?!?!) So if you just put hiphop music, and then I mean all kinds of hiphop music which I promise you is out there, to the same edge and decide to hate it only because it's called hiphop, well then you're going to miss a lot of good things in life my friend!
