Sigur ros - St Andrews United Church CA - 01.10.2001 FM Broadcast

As a special Christmas treat I would like to offer, what for me is perhaps the best Sigur ros concert I have heard. Of course its just my personal preference but . . . Here is why this is my all time favourite. Firstly the pace of this concert is so slow and smooth its exquistite and its one of those where Jonsi's voice just seems to float perfectly through out. Secondly the recording is one of the best I have heard. There is a fair number of FM concerts out there but the recording in this one is professional, the mics are high end and everything in the production, mixing and mastering is perfect. Thirdly, having heard a lot of different line ups this is my absolute favourite. A lot of people, myself included never had the chance to hear Sigur ros play in the early days so it really is a pleasure to share this particualr concert which I feel really encapsulates Sigur ros at their very best. Enjoy this perfect concert
NB: The last track Popplagio fades out near the end. This is from the original file. Apologies

A superb recording from near to the end of Sigur ros's recent tour. Its one of those concerts that is just that little bit slower, more introverted, relaxed than others. As soon as the first track Sven-G-Englar begins with that beautiful discordant feedback floating in the background you know its going to be good one. I love the guitar work on Popplagio - it is Huge!! Heartfelt thanks to Shota for allowing me to Re-master this concert and share it with you. Enjoy

There is a lower bitrate version of this concert which is widely found on the internet. Its great quality but it gives me much pleasure to Re-master and offer a 320kbps version for those who wish it. I have been meaning to post this one for a while but thanks to Einzack we now have a bit of a better quality version. A lovely listen. Well recommended.
Edit: This is a new Re-master - 01.01.2011. Basically Ive taken away much of the hiss & crackle which was audible during some moments. A nicer more balanced sound now. Very enjoyable listen

Its been a while since the last proper Sigur ros post. Apologies for that. I will more than make up for this in the near future !
A lovely concert from that amazing 2003 period. Its a little hissy in quieter parts but this is un-noticeable later on. In terms of line-up this is a great show. Of particular note is a slow version of Gong which has Jonsi giving it his all. Relatively rare live performances of Staralfur and Guitardjamm are also here. Enjoy this great concert.

Dave Beans - The Loss and Recovery EP - EXCLUSIVE !

I am absolutely delighted to offer you this Beautiful EP for free download by the grace of the artist, David Beans. As David says on his website: The Loss and Recovery EP is a six song, thirty minute movement exploring the growth and movement acquired through loss and recovery. Each piece articulates various emotions including misfortune, doubt, desperation ||| love, faith hope.
This record is a short journey of thought compiling two years into one sunrise to sunset

This record would be a close tie for my no.1 record of the year. There are elements of Max Richter, Olafur Arnalds, Eluvium, modern classical, and Drone at its very best. There is such a powerful emotional content thredded throughout this music it reminds me what music is all about and anyone who can express their heart through music in this way will always be a firm favourite of mine. The track called Father made me cry. Thank you so much David for such beautiful music.

Lineage: Unknown

This is such a beautiful, gentle, sweet concert with, for me anyway, probably the very best version of Salka and Von I have yet heard. At this time Salka had not been played that much live and so was a relatively new song, but you really wouldn't think it listening to the perfectly smooth delivery. Also a really slow rendition of Von that builds with such an exquisite softness. Really wonderful.

Sigur ros - Rare, Unreleased and Different

There are 2 * albums here. The first one is dedicated to rare and unreleased songs and the second to songs that are in some way different to the album versions. With the exception of Guitardjamm and Vaka the second album is probably only of interest to serious fans. This doesnt refer to fans with no sense of humour but to fans who, like myself, get excited at hearing even a slightly different version of a song. Enjoy

Not a very good quality video, most of the time you only see half of the stage above the heads of the audience and the camera is a little bit wobbly - so why post it? because despite the quality I couldnt help myself watching the whole show. As per usual, with Sigur ros, I found myself absorbed into the experience and the music and ended up really enjoying it. Perhaps this is more for fans but its worth it to able to get a taste of the band from 2003

Another great oldie featuring Steindor Andersen. I wish I had been to this concert. Having lived in Brighton for a while I cant think of a more perfect location. From the taper:
Without doubt, this is the best gig I have ever seen. The venue - a still-consecrated Georgian church in a residential area in Brighton, not far from the seafront - was somehow perfect. We were first in, but sat in the third row for fear of the mics being spotted. The band were set up in the altar area. There was some light amplification, but not much due to the church's location and the fact that I reckon the band wanted the place's natural acoustics to be to the fore.

It was light - just - when the band came on. There was very little extra lighting to my recollection, but it didn't matter peering into the gloom as dusk came. As you'll be able to hear, the audience were respectfully silent for the most part apart from applause. It was the most incredible atmosphere you could imagine. A couple of hours later, after a sublime set, we left reeling towards the doors. People were in tears. I'm still not sure how we got home that night. Thanks to Alyssa for track corrections

Message to Bears - EP 1 EXCLUSIVE!

Message to Bears - EP 1 EXCLUSIVE!

I'm delighted again to be able to offer another album which has become a firm favourite of mine this past year, through kind permission of the artist. I will just post what the record company says as I think it says it all. I hope you enjoy this wonderful album by an artist who I hope will be releasing more music in the near future. Thanks Jerome.

What the label says:

Message to Bears is the alias of Oxford based ambient folker Jerome Alexander. EP1 was originally self released by Jerome back in 2007, but it quickly sold out as it's popularity spread. After appearing on the very first Dead Pilot release, I knew I wanted to work with Jerome further, so a re-release of EP1 was the perfect option to go for. Describing Jeromes music as ambient folk is only scratching the surface as so many influences can be heard in every aspect of his music. The only way I feel I can get close to giving you any idea of the sound of Message to Bears is to ask you to imagine Explosions in the Sky on acoustic guitars being led by Max Richter, playing your favourite song, on a hill top under the shadow of a tree, on a perfect summer evening. It's uplifting, nostalgic, hopefull, calm and it lives in you.

Tracklist:
1.Sparrow
2. Found You and You're Safe
3. Good Morning
4. Swin
5. Green
6. Plane Over Evening Sky
7. To Make A Porttrait

My choice for 'Album of the year 2008'

I'm delighted to be able to offer this wonderful album for download by kind permission of the artist. I have to say this is the best album I have heard this year. Not an easy thing to say but I hope you will download this music and try for yourself. So why is this album so good? Imagine a mix of Eluvium, Goldmund, Jasper TX, a touch of Max Richter and add Olafur Arnalds in love, and you should get an idea of the majestic, delicate, joyful excellence that is - Songs By The Tumbled Sea. As soon as I heard the first 3 songs on this album I immediatly e-mailed the artist asking where I could find a CD to buy. As it turns out Sam is not selling this album but has done it just for the love of music and has been giving just a few handmade copies to friends. However, through his kindess, here it is! There is so much in this album - classical, piano, ambient, drone, sampling. If you enjoy the afore mentioned bands or these genres then please download this ablum. Thanks so much to Sam for sharing this wonderful music with both myself and with you. I should add that Sam currently does not have a record contract - so download this now, while you still can as Im sure a record contract will be forthcoming very soon. Enjoy

I was a little bit dubious about posting this one because of the sound, which -to my taste- was very bass heavy but then I reduced the bass and increased the treble on the Equalizer on my MP3 player and WOW ! what a concert. Brilliant quality and best of all a stunning 18 minute long Death Song.
Truly great concert. Enjoy

An absolutely fabulous concert with all the right ingredients, crystal clear recording with huge and punchy sounding drums and a real 'live' exciting quality to it. Its one of those concerts where Jonsi sings in such a way that his voice seems to travel quite freely and unrestrained in the songs, very dream like and quite beautiful. I think this particular set list is becoming my favorite. Enjoy

This concert comes highly recommended. The sound quality is excellent but be warned there is a very bizarre radio jingle at the beginning which if you're not expecting can be a bit frightening! This is such a great concert in many ways. Being an early one, there are parts where you hear some fragility in the singing and playing which comes across as very endearing, especially when at other parts you hear the potential power behind some of these songs starting to be released.
There is a very early version of I Gaer here which is in many ways different from the Hvarf version. There is also an stunning 12 minute Bium Bium Bambalo * which is very rare live. Just before the last song, Popplagio, Jonsi announces he feels like Tom Jones !? A must have concert for fans. Enjoy

A great concert containing an epic collection of songs including: a haunting rendition of Milano, Salka, Gong and Smaskifa. Ive been reading a few concert reviews lately and would like to include the following because it mirrors a temperament which is repeated time and time again:
- (the experience of Sigur ros I mean, not the audience noise!!) -

' this was my first sigur rós concert, as they have long been one of my favorite bands. i had no idea what was in store for me. this has been the most incredible concert experience of my life. the only thing that bothered me was the persistent redneck yelling from the balcony. but it didn't seem to phase the band. i've never seen a more passionate band onstage. when jónsi sang the high-pitched chorus in "track 1", tears came from my eyes. and track 8...words can not explain. this was a religious experience, to say the very least. god bless sigur rós '

There are already 4 superb quality re-mastered DVD tracks from this show posted earlier but for the sake of completeness, here is the complete concert. Unfortunately its not the same source as the DVD so the tracks aren't as good. Its a big improvement from the original but I think - due to sheer number of difficulties with aspects of the sound itself I had when trying to re-master this - this must of been quite a difficult show to record in the first place due to the acoustics of the room. Anyway, dont let this put you off too much it really is a fantastic show and certainly worth downloading

Ive been really enjoying and appreciating some of the 2001, 2002 shows. For me, there is a real slow majestic prescience in the music which is lost somewhat now we have moved on to happier musical times. I love them both but . . . still.
Some concerts lend themselves particularly well to being re-mastered. This one is no exception. Its a great one as it contains some songs from the Rimur EP and is one of the earliest good quality recordings i have been able to find.

The Sea Shall Not Have Them - Traces EP - EXCLUSIVE

The Sea Shall Not Have Them - Traces EP - EXCLUSIVE

Curt from 'The Sea Shall Not Have Them' has very kindly allowed me to post their debut EP here on Victoryrosemusic for free download. It really is an exceptional debut. You can hear many influences mixed into what is an excellant post rock CD. Curt is writing a new album penned for sometime in 2009 which will be a mix of Eluvium style drone and post rock. Really Looking forward to it. Particularily like Track 6 - End Song. They are also doing a split ep with another artist from Brisbane called aheadphonehome

Review:
Instrumental music is sometimes met with resistance by music-loving punters, but local Brissie/Gold Coast act, ‘The Sea Shall Not Have Them’ are turning heads and swaying opinions with their lush, cinematic and yet at times totally rock-n-roll soundscapes. Toted by local street press as the ‘outfit to watch’, we are proud to feature the primarily instrumental act ‘The Sea Shall Not Have Them’ as our feature artists this week. The duo’s debut EP ‘Traces’ is distributed by Musicadium, and we are highly impressed with this journey into their beautiful, sound-driven world.

Milhaven - I.M.Wagner EP

Milhaven - I.M.Wagner EP

In the scorching heat of Summer we banned this four songs on tape. While the debut was recorded wearing woolly hat and scarf, this time the band was lost in sweat and fatigue. I.M. Wagner is less intimate than Bars Closing Down, but there's a trace of frantic power in the new songs that'll be new to you if you've never seen Milhaven live on stage. Check the noise-eruptions in half-improvised Lord Of Birds or the all-consuming end of Oh! Great Pacific. Still, there are expanded moments of gentle guitar-play you can find a lot of beauty in; the initial parts of Clean Room and the final acoustic-track Firnis maybe just the most obvious examples. Milhaven refined their songwriting both at the quiet and the loud parts and managed to record a dignified successor to the highly acclaimed debut LP.

French Teen Idol - Enlightened False Consciousness

From: http://postrockcommunity.blogspot.com

Melancholic piano patterns, dreamy atmospheres, vocal samples and striking instrumental crescendos, some of the ingredients of French Teen Idol's debut album, are sill there, enriched by the continuous search for new musical solutions, including a more classical "song-structure" approach in some tracks.
Athens-based band GardenBox and Roman artist Patrizio Piastra collaborated with French Teen Idol on track #2, "The Longest Night". Other collaborations include Fabrizio Lagani (track #3) and Olalla Rey Fernández (track #5).

French Teen Idol - French Teen Idol

French Teen Idol - French Teen Idol

From: http://postrockcommunity.blogspot.com/

French Teen Idol is a solo project out of Rome, Italy from Andrea Di Carlo. His music is strongly in the post-rock camp with influences from bands such as Mogwai, and God is an Astronaut. There is a strange and beautiful synthesis going on that melds together bits of rock, electronic, and ambient. Sometimes calming, sometimes disquieting, Teen French Idol makes for some very interesting listening. Two albums are currently available as free downloads. The first album is self-titled and available from the Nishi netlabel. The first track sets the formula; keyboards and string-like electronic in a repeating melody adding keyboard and string-like electronics in an emotional crescendo. It is a simple formula that works well in Di Carlo’s hands. “Your Fault” is an especially good example of the enjoyable tension Teen French Idol is capable of. The sophomore album Enlightened False Consciousness is released by Lost Children. The orchestral patterns with building tension continues but the atmosphere leans toward moody and slightly dark. This album is even more dream inducing. The title track and “The Longest Night” are two of the best tracks.
10/10 perfekt!
