Fri 10 Oct 2007The icemen comethSigur Rós talk!

"This was by far the most amazing show I have ever attended in my life" . . . "It is impossible to truly verbalise the feelings and sensations I experienced during the show". These are just a few samples from fans' comments, and not necessarily the most effusive ones.
