i like how their singer considers himself an "instrument"
rather than a lyricist.

no no, the singer said that in an interview i saw on tv. he
said something along the lines of "my voice is just another
instrument in the band."

i like sigur rós but i would prefer pink floyd over them
anyday. i even like múm or björk better. i am just not a
big fan of jonsi's voice. i like roger waters' and david
gilmour's voices very much though.

I have von, agaetis, (), music for split sides, and a few

particular.

Check out Von as well. It's kind of 'dark ambient' stuff.
Completely unlike any of there other stuff.

I realized the other day that they're just a strange
coldplay. wel lit should be the other way around, coldplay
is a western sound sigur ros.

Haven't heard the new one more than a couple times, it's OK
but ( ) was great, not a bad track on it. Staralfur is still
my favorite Ros joint though, seems untoppable in my mind.

Von is OK, a bit more experimental, though not
interesting... one of the tracks reminds me of mid-period
Pink Floyd, they've got the Nick Mason ride cymbal going.


 

offline Vin3islih from United Kingdom on 2005-10-01 17:18 [#01738944]
Points: 1066 Status: Regular



Yeah, it's got a Dark Side of the Moon vibe there I think,
particularly the fairly frequent screaming. I don't get the
comment about it not being interesting though. The mere
fact that it is more experimental (that a lot of there
subsequent catalogue) makes it an interesting sidestep. It
is also interesting to listen to, but needs a bit of work to
appreciate.

( ) is one of my favourite albums in general, right
alongside in the aeroplane over the sea and, um, think
that's it. i feel like i'm getting too old for modern music.
:\

What about the Microphones- The Glow Part 2?

I'm listening to ( ) for the first time in a couple years
and it's really really beautiful. I'm back in college,
before dropping out. I'm a winner again.

yar, that too. you hit the nail right on the head, actually.
those are the only three albums i'll ever need.

i'm thinking i'll divulge in classical music for a while so
that when i eventually come back to newer music it'll all
sound as fresh as it once did.

Get Valentin Silvestrov- Requiem for Larissa, I don't even
like other music anymore, I only like this.

The Glow is so awesome, The Moon, I Want to be Cold, that's
life altering stuff right there.

Has anyone heard 'Da da ti ki di do' or whatever it's
called? the last track is bitchin'.

Also, what's this about a 'retard voice'?

Its excellent. Although I'm not too keen on the last track.
Did you know that the voice samples in that one are by the
choreographer Merce Cunningham... triva fans.

You= Gyroscope? My F drive crashed and I lost everything
from my ''favorite music'' folder. But it's all backed up
and I'll put it back up, browse me again, I've got more
Silvestrov than you can shake a stick at.

he doesn't always sing in this made up language. on ágætis
byrjun he just sings in plain icelandic but on () it's this
hopelandic stuff (von=hope. i don't know why it's called
that since i remember von being sung in icelandic too). I
haven't heard much from the new album but what i heard was
sung in icelandic.
