BBC – collective – sigur ros ‘takk’ – listening post
I haven’t bought the new album by Sigur Ros yet. I plan to buy it in the next few days. In the meantime, there is a complete stream of it in Real Audio format, hosted by the BBC at the link above. Enjoy!
If you want to immerse yourself in a complete online experience before buying, go to the Sigur Ros site and look at lyrics, a documentary and a pile of other stuff. I really like the way that Sigur Ros have figured out that using the internet through downloading and streaming it is possible to build a fan-base. I first heard their music through the enormous stack of downloads on their website – that prompted me to go out and buy their albums.
Hearing the new album also helps me to decide to go and buy, in spite of the somewhat negative review in the latest issue of ‘The Wire‘ magazine.
