Free Music Notes for Hvarf/Heim

Free Music Review: Great new (old) CD
Hit: 5 Stars

Awesome CD, I had heard most of the songs in their original formats years ago - but that doesn't take anything away from this masterpiece. It would have been great to try and squeeze all the songs onto 1 CD but I guess that wasn't possible; it's a pain in the neck to keep getting up when listening to such relaxing music.
One of my favorite CDs of 2007

Hvarf/Heim Poster

In Icelandic, the word "hvarf" means "disappeared," and the first five tracks of Sigur R?s's double CD set nearly did disappear, having remained unreleased until this collection. Fans will love new opportunities to enjoy the band's precious style--precious save for "I Gaer," which starts out like a music-box and builds to dramatic, Pink Floyd-esque guitar-rawk proportions. The inclusion of two specific tracks, "Von" (meaning "hope") and "Hafsol," will especially delight longtime SR fans; written and recorded during the group's infancy in 1995, these tracks became treasured live performances, having never been captured on disc as their expanded, evolved versions until now. The disc's second portion, "Heim" ("home") is a six-song acoustic set that shows Sigur R?s in a less grandiose, more delicate light. The original versions of each were spread throughout SR's four previous releases, and all six were captured live-to-disc when the band performed a unique tour comprising surprise concerts in settings ranging from deserted fish factories to darkened caves. (The tour has been released separately as an endearing DVD, a companion to this collection entitled Heima.) While totally acoustic, the songs remain full-bodied, lush and lovely, especially the former underground hit "?g?tis byrjun" and "Heys?tan," within which you'll hear--if you listen closely--the sounds of chirping birds singing along with the orchestral instruments. --Denise Sheppard
