Customer Reviews

Bliss
Sonar echoes, rumbling ambience and a keyboard that sounds so distant that it fills the room. Then there's the incredible wall of noise created by playing guitar with a cello bow. The moment when that kicks in must be one of the greatest moments in music history. Ten minutes long, some would say that this is too long, but I don't think it's long enough. A truly life-affirming song. It will either lull you into blissful sleep or brighten up your day in such a way that nothing will bring you down. Perfect in every way.

A masterpiece
A masterpiece of modern expression. This record will take you through the highs and lows (and back!)

5 star +
Absolutely a wonderful, haunting, spiritual album - sets your spirits high and makes your dreams lucid.

I like being pleasantly surprised upon first hearing something I like. But this surpasses all, in that it took my breath away and gave it back only at the very end of the CD (a long time to not be breathing...). Get a bit confused by the songs titles as I don't speak any Icelandic, so I don't know what the songs mean. Perhaps it is about losing your shoe in a busy shopping centre, or being smacked by a hardcore punk girl... I don't know, but whatever they are saying, it is making me feel reeeeaaaaally good! ;)
