Eye Candy for Ear Candy
It is always a fascinating experience to see what other envision when they hear music. This is especially true for music by Sigur Ros. Their long slow progressions, poignant builds, and raw emotiveness create the perfect soundscapes for directors and fans alike to produce dreamlike visions of stories, myths, comedies, and dances.
There are some truly amazing moments on here and I would have gladly given it 5 stars if there were any sound mastering to the DVD. Their is only one "audio track" to select and it's a stereo LPCM output. This results in both sound deterioration at the higher decibel climaxes of many of the songs and also unmetered sound output from some of the videos that employ narration as accompaniment to the Valtari soundtrack. For something so beautiful in both music and visual composition, this seems like an oversight. I would love to see this in Bluray format someday!*
Review in Summary: Eye Candy for Ear Candy! Amazing as is, but could have been...
Essential collection for Sigur Ros fans
If you're a hardcore Sigur Ros fan, then you need these. Some are beautiful, some are weird, some are pretentious, but that happens when you get into experimental art projects. Adding imagery to lush, delicately beautiful songs is a nice dimension to add to Sigur Ros music.
Wow
This DVD is a beautiful portrayal of awesomeness. Awesomeness that can only be of Sigur Ros! The video is awesome. Awesome awesome awesome
