Free Music Notes for Hvarf / Heim (Dig)
Free Music Review: Worth the money regardless.......
Hit: 5 Stars
This album is worth the money regardless of the fact that it seems to be in length of a double EP. I have just recently found out about this amazing group just three weeks ago after hearing Glosoli and Svefn-G-Englar that a friend sent me in a bulletin. After that experience, I'm having a hard time listening to ANY other band. From what I have read, the two tracks I just mentioned that opened me up and blew me apart happen to be alot of fans favorites. So I went to the store to buy this(instead of TAKK or Agaetis Byrjun) thinking that if it was anything like what I've heard than I'll at least be up to date even though far behind with the classics. Well, I haven't stopped listening to it(Hvarf/Heim)yet and I am curently saving to buy ALL their music. This Album is so devastatingly good, I get dizzy every time I even think about it.
Both Cds are TOP NOTCH, the second being an Acoustic Live album that puts to shame all live albums I've ever heard before......Most everybody would never guess it's a live recording if it didn't say so in the sleeve (beautiful art to go with the music too!). AMAZING!!! Buy this now and if you're like me and just recently got into Sigur Ros, this is an EPIC place to begin!!! It will be sure to give you the NEED to go out and acquire all their other records. It leaves you wondering how in the world they could make SO MANY albums that supposingly compare to this (dont quite know yet,Hvarf/Heim is all I got so far).....to all new fans.....this is a sure-fire Winner, ya can't go wrong, and to Sigur Ros, you are the most beautifully haunting band I have ever heard...PEACE

My life can now be divided into two halves. Before I discovered Sigur Ros, and after. Before, I'd fire up some Matt Good, some Foo Fighters, a little Kings of Leon, Offspring, etc. I don't know how to get back to that world, and I don't want to.
The English language does not contain the words to describe this kind of music. The closest word I could come up with is Transcendent.
I bought this CD, yes, I bought it as I will buy all this band's CD's, even though I could easily pirate every single track elsewhere. For several reasons. 1. Sigor Ros deserves it. 2. If anything happened to my computer, I could still listen to these tracks sans my mp3 collection. This music has shown my a whole new reality, one I will explore to its extreme. If you're reading these reviews because you're trying to decide if this music is worth the buy, then yes it is! Whatever interest brought you here in the first place, you'll not be disappointed.
Free Music Review: Awesome!

Everything Sigur Ros does is gold, and this album is no exception. It starts off with a number of absolutely explosive and amazing tracks, and then goes into live versions of a number of previously-released songs. These live songs are different from most live recordings, though, in that there are no applause tracks, just the amazing songs with subtle but significant differences of instrumentation and presentation. The music of Sigur Ros makes me calmly ponder the meaning of life and puts me in an introverted state, especially the second track on this album. For fans of indie rock, I highly recommend this CD.Free Music Review: Sigur Ros Hvarf/Heim

This album is a delight. This band is so original and so unpredictable that their music is always a surprise, and Hvarf/Heim is no exception. On one disc are polished studio recordings of several of Sigur Ros' most requested songs, and on the other disc are rare live cuts rich with acoustic detail. I don't speak Icelandic, so the words are lost on me, but the music speaks for itself. Their extremely moving song "Von" (Hope) is on both discs so we get to hear it both live and produced. Both versions soar with emotion, as the music moves from bright to dark like a stormy sky. I'm glad I bought it.Free Music Review: simply perfect, go get it!!!

Hvarf-Heim captures the true essence of sigur rós'particular universe. It's the mixture of some of their best songs previously recorded and a brand new set (Hvarf) of wonderful pieces of art, please listen "I gaer" "hafsol"and "staralfur". Sometimes I wonder how a group of 4 guys can make this amazing music, they should be proud of what they're doing:
remaking music and creating something new,fresh and f...ing GOOD.
Thanks guys. Next step in my mind: visit Iceland.
