Sigur Rós - Culture Show Special

Sigur Rós - Culture Show Special 20.10.2007

As requested [thanks Emerline - Just about melted off my chair watching this again. Its been 10 years and this STILL gives me goosebumps listening to it] reposted from October 2008.
(I don't use Rapidshare anymore so many of the early links have gone. Please do request anything to be re-posted if you find a dead link)

~ Video and Audio - Exclusive live studio acoustic version of Njosnavelin. An essential viewing for Sigur ros fans and in fact everyone. This is the best interview i have seen of them to date. It shows them as they are, despite enormous success, still very much down to earth and quite humble. Its geat to hear Jonsi finally reveal the truth behind 'Hopelandic' his made up lanquage! I like Verity Sharp, she is doing a similar job to the late John Peel with the BBC show 'Late Junction' Watch her face during the performance!

"Verity Sharp meets the four-piece band Sigur Ros in their native Iceland and on their visit to the UK for the 2007 Electric Proms. They have sold two million albums globally and their haunting music has been used as a soundtrack on trailers for the BBC series Planet Earth. They talk about their unique sound and their film Heima, which chronicles a series of unannounced gigs in Iceland in 2006"

Perfect quality SBD from 2002 just posted over on Victoryroselossless  :D

Ólafur Arnalds - set to release his first Hollywood film score.

Icelandic composer Ólafur Arnalds set to release his first Hollywood film score.

Ólafur Arnalds' original motion picture soundtrack for Sam Levinson's feature film debut 'Another Happy Day', starring Ellen Barkin and Demi Moore, will see a worldwide release via UK modern classical label Erased Tapes Records on February 27, 2012.
PRE-ORDER it on CD/Vinyl/Digital now from: ErasedTapes

IN HIS OWN WORDS:
'In mid-December 2010 I was on a holiday in China when I received an email from Sam Levinson about the film. We got on the phone at like 4 in the morning Beijing time and ended up talking all through the night, instantly connecting. He told me that they had been listening to my music while making the film, so the film was already very influenced by my music. However, it was not until Ellen Barkin -- the beautiful force that she is -- had pestered the producers for a week, calling them every day about how I am the right one for this film, that they finally gave in. The only catch was that it had to be done two weeks later, in the first week of January. So I ended up scoring nonstop all throughout Christmas, making my mother mad in the process.' - Ólafur Arnalds
CONTEXT:
Born in the suburban Icelandic town of Mosfellsbær, a few kilometres outside of Reykjavík, the 24-year old composer has always enjoyed pushing boundaries with both his studio work and his live-shows. Through relentless touring and determination this young artist has steadily gained recognition worldwide and continues his mission to lure an indie-generation of pop and rock fans into an emotive world of beguiling electronic chamber music and delicate classical arrangements.
'The indie kid who knows the score' -- Guardian's Observer
'An artist who can exert power with the lightest of touches' -- BBC Music

K.C & J.H - Diamond Mine - Live 2011

K.C & J.H - Diamond Mine - Live 2011


A very special and rare appearance of the Mercury Award Nominated 'Diamond Mine' album, live. There are four songs here from the concert which they played from the album itself. There was some editing done to remove some private jokes from KC with the audience (if you where there you'll know what I mean!) I also made something of a 'clever' edit to allow the songs to flow seamlessly due to some problems with the piano on the night. I hope Im forgiven for this but I trust a listen will bring forbearance as it sounds wonderful. As it is such a beautiful album in itself I hope this may lead some new people to buying it!

No More Bandwidth

Sorry folks, until the beginning of next month I have no more bandwidth to offer!
In essence I pay both for all these files to be hosted and for the bandwidth (the GB's) to allow you as a free user to download these files for free. Unfortunately, as I have no extra money you have to wait until 2/14/2012

With Heartfelt thanks to Jay all files should be available again to download...

Amazing new Soundboard re-master posted over on Victoryroselossless

:D

Jónsi - Cirque Royal, Belgium 21.11.2010 - Re-master

Jónsi - Cirque Royal, Belgium 21.11.2010 - Re-master

Lineage: at943 - SP-SPSB-11 (Bass Roll-off at 95 HZ) - Edirol R09 at 16 bit 44.1 Khz Transfer : SD card > SDslot > PC > Audition 1.5 > Cdwave > FLAC (8)

With heartfelt gratitude to bnz for both allowing to share this and kind permission to post a re-mastered version.

An interesting sound on this one. Its quite immediate, very much how it felt the times I was quite close to the stage, in that Jónsi comes across quite close and clear. There is also quite an interesting 'feeling' with the drums and the bass. Its quite a colourful sound which I hope lends itself particularly to something of the feel of the live experience off the Go Tour rather more than perhaps a direct line soundboard recording which although more accurate, would miss something of the experience 

Full artwork & notes are included.
Ps I still another 3 or 4 Jónsi concerts to post!

Sigur Rós - Laugardalsholl, Reykjavik 23.11.2008 Re-master - 'The Last Concert!' 

Lineage: at831 - SP-SPSB-11 (Bass Roll-off at 107 HZ) - Edirol R09 at 16 bit 44.1 Khz
Transfer: SD card > SDslot > PC > Audition 1.5 > Cdwave > TLH > FLAC (8) - Re-master...

Quality/Performance: 88/100

Firstly I must say a huge thanks to 'bnz' for his kindness in making this re-master possible.
Secondly, the 'Last Concert' tag. Its not the last concert ever! but from a recent comment by the band it seems this will be the last concert, musically speaking of this type and feel.
I thought then this would be a wonderful post to end 2011 and to begin 2012 by posting the last concert the band performed live together and to mark what promises to be one of the most exciting years for fans for a long time with a new album coming [maybe March...ish] and a tour or at least live performances nearing the end of the year.
The recording here is wonderful, the only criticism would be it is a little 'hot' but not enough to spoil your listening enjoyment
