Hi,
they have started to promote Sigur Ros in other parts of Europe, too. At
least here in Germany, there were some very positive articles in the press
and their current album was featured in some big record stores (here in
Munich). Unfortuntaley, their first album seems to be available in Iceland
only. I didn't know that hey made a remix album, but it surely sounds
interesting. Does anyone know any release dates of albums from their back
catalogue here in Germany?
A few days ago I visited their concert here in Munich. It was a very good
gig, although I missed the occasional electronic noises that can be heard on
the album and that make a very nice contrast to the more organic nature of
their songs. When performing, they are very strict in not speaking to the
audience.
It's an event. Go there if you've got the opportunity.
Bye,
Jürgen
