Sono anni che seguo la musica dei Sigur Ros, ma è il loro modo di essere che mi incanta: islandesi, concludono i loro tour con concerti gratuiti nella loro terra, i loro video mostrano anziani e disabili sereni. La loro musica è il dolce e pesante suono della gioia e della vita.
[en] I’ve enjoyed the music of Sigur Ros for years, but it’s their way of being that fascinates me: Icelanders, they conclude their tour with free concerts in their homeland, their videos show elderly and disabled people. Their music is the sweet and heavy sound of joy and life.

there is a long silence in my copy of ( ), is this normal?
yes, that’s what it’s supposed to be like. the abrupt end of track 4 is followed by 36 seconds of silence, which signifies the division of the album’s two halves: the “sweet” half and the “heavy” half.
