Listen with lights off, feet up, and head high...
By J. Tiedman on August 16, 2010
Format: Audio CD Verified Purchase
Though this is the only song of theirs I like, it's one of my picks when I'm feeling good and extra 'relaxed', when I want to turn down the lights, turn up the volume, and close my eyes. Though it sounds like screaming guitar, it's so relaxed the way he slowly draws the violin bow across the strings. Then it picks up the pace for just a bit at the bridge, then right back to floating weightlessly on a cloud. I like that you can't understand the words, they just sound good with the music. Especially toward the end when he's singing into the pick-ups on the guitar, it's like he's singing in a canyon. Pink Floyd used to be my lights out band, but now it's Sigur Ros.

Beautiful Atmospheric Music
By mark on July 20, 2002
Format: Audio CD
Sigur Ros isn't so much of a band as an experience. Having gotten some indie music scene stir going, they've snuck into our conscious and appear to have a future within it. This EP is my first Sigur Ros purchase and is a perfect introductory record for someone new to them. The EP features their 2 most well known tunes (relative to the others I guess) in 'Svefn-G-Englar' and 'Vidrar Vel Til Loftarasa' along with 2 live tracks.
Featuring atmospheric, building music, Sigur Ros bring us some of the most outright beautiful, haunting tunes I've ever had the pleasure to experience. Singing in their native, Icelandic tongue the lyrics aren't meant to be deciphered, but to add onto the music as another instrument and it succeeds beyond our imagination in that regard.
The album almost blends together as one large piece and it's amazing how it just flows and before you know it, it's cycled through the complete album. I think any fan of such bands as Radiohead or Godspeed You Black Emperor would fall head over heels in love with Sigur Ros as I have.

Believe the Hype
By A O Cazola on April 16, 2002
Format: Audio CD
Sigur Ros is a slow build.
In the same way that godspeed you black emperor! and labradford create sonic swells and beautiful fragility, Sigur Ros has snuck into the music world's consciousness. Their career has followed the trajectory of many of their songs...starting small and quiet and growing to an intense blinding brightness.
The North American indie release of their second record (Ágætis Byrjun) caused more thana ripple in the music press. Although picked up originally only by those "in the know" in ambient music circles, this record became, after a year in circulation, cover fodder for all the main music rags. the Radiohead comparisons came fast and furious, but, because Sigur Ros are Icelandic, the language barrier has kept them from massive over-exposure.
This new EP is a record of the best part of Sigur Ros, their live show. Comprised of two live tracks and two album tracks, Svefn-G-Englar is a perfect starter for somebody who might not be sure where to begin their Sigur Ros foray.

Beautiful...just beautiful
By M. A Hutter on October 8, 2004
Format: Audio CD
Fans of '( )' who want to share the haunting beauty that is Sigur Ros with friends should definitely expose them to this ep first. Why? Simply put the title track (which is also on their first album Agaetis Byrjun) is one of the most beautiful pieces of music I have ever heard. In fact it is the consensus of most Sigur Ros fans that this song is, to date, their crowning achievement. However, another reason to introduce people to this ep first is that it also includes two live tracks that really open up the ambience of the music in a way a studio produced piece just can't. I picked up this ep on a whim and once I heard the strains of that distorted, bowed, Les Paul, I knew this purchase had to have been divinely inspired. This is just gorgeous music!
