Music Monday: Sigur Ros

Sigur Rós hail from iceland, and rightly claim to bring you the beautiful landscape of their homeland with their music. The band consists of Jón þor (jónsi) Birgisson (vocals, guitars), Kjartan (kjarri) Sveinsson (keyboards), Orri Páll Dýrason (drums) and Georg (goggi) Holm (bass). The band was formed by Jónsi, Georg and original drummer Ágúst in 1994. They were later joined by Kjartan and when Ægúst left the band after the recording of Ágætis Byrjun in order to pursue a career in graphic design, he was replaced by Orri.

I saw they were sending out free cd's in the UK. Did anyone get one?
