Fans of '( )' who want to share the haunting beauty that is Sigur Ros with friends should definitely expose them to this ep first. Why? Simply put the title track (which is also on their first album Agaetis Byrjun) is one of the most beautiful pieces of music I have ever heard. In fact it is the consensus of most Sigur Ros fans that this song is, to date, their crowning achievement. However, another reason to introduce people to this ep first is that it also includes two live tracks that really open up the ambience of the music in a way a studio produced piece just can't. I picked up this ep on a whim and once I heard the strains of that distorted, bowed, Les Paul, I knew this purchase had to have been divinely inspired. This is just gorgeous music!
WOW THEY ARE GREATJuly 16, 2004 1 out of 3 found this review helpful
This ep is sooooo good. The live material is extremely good. I would recommend this to any Sigur Ros fan, and any fan of GOOD music. I really think this recording makes Jonsi's voice sound better than in the studio!

The direction in my taste in music literally shifted by the end of this album. I had never heard anything quite like it, and never will. Pure Genius.
