Hvarf/Heim 2CD
Author: Sigur Ros
Format: Best of
Release Date: 06-11-2007
Details: Amazon.ca In Icelandic, the word "hvarf" means "disappeared," and the first five tracks of Sigur Róss double CD set nearly did disappear, having remained unreleased until this collection. Fans will love new opportunities to enjoy the bands precious style--precious save for I Gaer, which starts out like a music-box and builds to dramatic, Pink Floyd-esque guitar-rawk proportions. The inclusion of two specific tracks, Von (meaning "hope") and Hafsol, will especially delight longtime SR fans; written and recorded during the groups infancy in 1995, these tracks became treasured live performances, having never been captured on disc as their expanded, evolved versions until now. The discs second portion, "Heim" ("home") is a six-song acoustic set that shows Sigur Rós in a less grandiose, more delicate light. The original versions of each were spread throughout SRs four previous releases, and all six were captured live-to-disc when the band performed a unique tour comprising surprise concerts in settings ranging from deserted fish factories to darkened caves. (The tour has been released separately as an endearing DVD, a companion to this collection entitled Heima.) While totally acoustic, the songs remain full-bodied, lush and lovely, especially the former underground hit Ágætis byrjun and Heysátan, within which youll hear--if you listen closely--the sounds of chirping birds singing along with the orchestral instruments. --Denise Sheppard Product Description 2007 release from the Icelandic outift comprised of two EPs. Hvarf translates appropriately as "disappeared", as its five tracks are studio recordings of lost songs from various points in the band's career. Heim or "home" consists of six live acoustic versions of songs from all four Sigur Ros's studio albums recorded in Iceland during the band's summer 2006 tour and early spring 2007. Limited edition double CD digipak (first pressing only).
