Sigur Rós: Takk …
CML call number: CD ROCK Sigur
Contents: Takk …, Glósóli, Hoppipolla, Med Blodnasir, Se Lest, Saeglópur, Milanó, Gong, Andvari, Svo Hljótt, Heysatan.
Jon J. Eilenberg wrote in Wired: "Discerning music fans deserve an antidote to disposable emo bands and bump-by-numbers pop. Sigur Rós dispenses a dose of neuron-tickling Elysium. The Icelandic quartet eschews rock's conventional verse-chorus-break structure for a minimalist, linear dynamic that ebbs and flows like an all-consuming train of thought. Takk features modulating piano lines and floaty keyboards — think Coldplay meets Pink Floyd, but without the former's saccharine pathos and the latter's tense bombast. Woven through it all is the singing of Jónsi Birgisson, who falsettos like some seraphic elf (those Icelanders do love elves). This is delicate, layered art that rewards the attentive listener with a euphoric aural experience" ("Play: Reviews: Music: It's a Beautiful Noise," 10/05).
