Sigur Rós - Sćglópur EP and DVD
The first time you hear this, it is a real-life hair-raising experience; your blood seems to run a little quicker and your skin goes properly prickly. There may be a tendency to feel somewhat lost for words for a few moments afterwards. In this regard, 'Sćglópur' may well be the purest distillation to date of the chemistry Sigur Rós have at their collective fingertips.
It is well documented that the group are eminently capable of spellbinding melodic delicacy and also bewildering towers of rock power, but never before have they been so effectively brought together in a way that leaves the listener quite so emotionally undone. 'Sćglópur' - as simple as its guitar, bass, drums and keys ingredients are - feels like a record of near divine inspiration.
An immense song from the band's most rewarding and accomplished album to date, 'Sćglópur' is harder than heavy metal and more beautiful than the most mellifluous modern classical; it is the record to make everyone believe Sigur Rós really are as special as we'd all hoped they might turn out to be.
Turning this release into a must have purchase for all discerning fans and new converts alike are 3 brand new tracks from the wondrous minds of the Icelandic quartet; 'Refur', 'O Fridu'r and 'Kafari' back 'Sćglópur' to create a simply magical EP. The package also offers a DVD containing the videos from the 3 singles from 'Takk…' thus far, 'Glosoli', 'Hoppipolla' and of course, Sćglópur'
The 'Sćglópur' EP + DVD is released on EMI on July 10thpage << 1 2 >>

Taio Cruz: ilikemusic because... It’s my life and it’s the air that I breathe. It calms me when I’m feeling uptight and it’s there for me when I want to party if I want to listen to something up tempo, it’s just amazing in any situation. That’s why I like music!
simon f baker: ilikemusic because... you can transcend the confines of the material world with it, it's probably better than shagging in fact. There is virtually nothing more satisfying than when a load of chords and words suddenly come together into a song ; suddenly everything in life seems to fit and make sense once more.
Scott, Thin Lizzy: ilikemusic because... It lets my adrenalin start pumping, it gets aggression out, and sometimes I can actually get emotional with it. There are many reasons why I like music.
