Icelandic preciousness

It was winter of 2002. Christmas was here and I had a long holiday season to endure. A friend had lent me a CD that he had told me was going to change the way I thought about music. I remember sitting in my room and putting the CD on my laptop with a slow Window's media Player visualization playing in the background. The songs were trully like none other I had ever heard. They seemed to lack a general motive and a goal. They didn't give me the usual verse, chorus, verse, chorus flow and a poppy tagline. I couldn't even understand the words(besides, who understands the imaginary "Hopelandic" language anyways). And so I listened...every night as I fell asleep...for two weeks straight... to one of the most glimmering, creative, enthralling pieces of music I had ever heard. Two years later I found myself in a small Chinese apartment doing the same thing to an amazing follow-up album. On tuesday Sigur Ros will be revealing quite possibly one of the most dazzling audial/visual compositions of all time. It's a two disk DVD collection featuring a film documenting the bands return to Iceland for a series of home shows and a new album "Heima"
