"We strike land at some wee harbour at the bottom of this sticky out bit of Iceland and immediately set off through some of the most amazing landscape many of us have ever seen (including the Icelanders) on our way to Selárdalur, remotely sited in the very west of the West Fjords. Selárdalur is nationally renowned for a folly-ish collection of buildings built by Samuel Jonsson in the middle of last century that ape the churches and homesteads of Iceland only in about 2/3rds scale.
It’s a little bit like a crumbling film set and reminds me of visiting the “Mexican” towns of Almeria in southern Spain where they filmed the spaghetti westerns. It is here we have chosen to film the band performing ‘Heysatan’ in the company of the brass section, who have un-poetically come to be known as the Horny Brasstards.." - John Best

Late morning. Drive from Reykjavík in the company of our piano tuner, Diddi, to join the band in Djúpavík out on the far Western end of the Snæfellsnes peninsula about a quarter of the way clockwise round the country. The day is clear and cloudless, exactly as we might have hoped against hope we would have in this especially lousy Icelandic summer.
So good, in fact, is the weather that I feel paradoxically gloomy at the notion that it
can’t possibly last through the next two weeks of shooting this first ever film of Sigur
Rós live. Still, as we leave the city you can clearly see the Snæfell glacier glinting
on the horizon some hundred and twenty odd miles away. - John Best")

Recorded 15 years ago today - July 27th, 2006. Today we are recording a version of a song named ‘Guitardjamm’, which is just strings, vocals and some filigree touches of guitar, quite at odds with the wig-out implied by the title. The sound in the tank is unbelievably atmospheric and the reverb-laden results to me are redolent of the miasmic soundscapes the early sigur ros created for their debut, ‘von’. - John Best")
