I thought is was about time we had some Low posted. The first time I heard Sigur ros (thanks Elin) I was also given a Low CD to listen to, so I have a fond affinity for Low A lot of the following Low concerts have a bit of an upbeat quality where as this one contains for the most part their slower songs. This is probably my favourite. Its so delicate, fragile but powerful. Enjoy
Ps the sound quality on this one is 10/10

Track List:

01 I Remember
02 Starfire

Sigur ros - Sweden 20.10.2002

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.

Track List:

01 Vaka - Missing (I will upload it when/if I find it!)
02 Fyrsta
03 Samskyeti
04 Ny Batteri

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
All these tracks are live recordings or not commercially available
