Oh, I'd forgotten how very much I love the Icelandic band Sigur Rós. The very first time I'd heard their music was when I saw them play at the 9:30 Club in DC; they were absolutely hypnotic. I was totally overwhelmed. I mean, I utterly lost myself in their music. Time and place had little bearing on my awareness.
It doesn't seem to matter where I find myself or in what circumstances; when I hear their music I am engaging in this world from another plane. It sounds corny, but it is true. I can't really say that about any other band. They are atmospheric and thrilling and delirious.

Thanks, Josef, for reminding me.
