Lot of work went into this one. The sound was ok-ish but very 'muddy' Over all Im quite happy with the results. Although it still lacks some 'meat' and overall warmth/depth its a fabulous concert with some exceptionally measured slow paced playing, as in Álafoss

Set List:

01 Vaka
02 Njósnavelin
03 Ný Batterí
04 E-bow
05 Álafoss

For some reason every Sigur Rós show from this venue has been spectacular, with this one being no exception. The whole concert is exception although sadly its let down by 'soft clipping' of the bass drum. With a bit of imagination you can pretend you are there at the venue and the bass drum is mic'd a little too loud...which in general works! with the exception of Lagid i Gaer in which the bass is very noticeably clipped. Don't be put off though, the sound itself is wonderful. In fact of all the various 'sounds' from these audience recordings this is my favourite type. Im wondering if some of those lovely DPA mics where used?

Quite simply one of, if not THE very best concert of Sigur Rós. Certainly my favourite from 2001. There's a danger of me writing pages on the good qualities of this one so I'll just put in two words:
Truly Magical!
NB: This is no different from the previously posted version. One of the main reasons of this new layout and Sigur Rós dedicated blog is to host the final versions of all the masters Ive done. During the course of mastering the first round I learnt many new things including a now finalized and agreed upon naming/tagging system for these concerts. This means though that I have to re-upload some of these concerts, but its good in that I can take a second critical listen to the first masters I did and if there are any that I feel can be improved upon can take the time to do just that so that by time this project is completed we should have a complete and exhaustive collection of live Sigur Rós material, properly mastered to get the very best out of each of them

Set List:

01 Vaka
02 Njósnavelin

05 Álafoss

This is a slightly revised 2nd master of this newly arisen concert. The sound itself on this 2nd version is more rounded and much smoother around the edges. It won't be ranked amongst some of the greatest recordings we have but its still a very listenable and powerful concert. Another small change I made on this version was to master it particularly to be played loud. Because we are so fortunate to have such a great collection of live material it gives me on occasion opportunities to do something a little different. In this case to master it going with its strengths and as such it sounds very powerful played loud! Thanks again to Alyssa for her kindness in getting in touch and passing this on.

Powerful big sounding Audience recording concert featuring some rare recordings of songs such as Syndir Guðs and Lagið í Gær. An interesting concert to master, it was a challenge to balance all the various elements. The end result is a more balanced, smoother, crisper, less harsh experience. Not perfect but the sound still works very well though for the bigger tracks such as Lagið í Gær.
