Montreal Mirror - Music: Sigur Rós

Lush and spiritual, emotional and ethereal, the sound of Sigur Rós bears a quaint yet otherworldly mystique shared with other Icelandic music. It’s a trait that drooling critics and reverent fans alike find so mysterious and endearing, often to the amusement of the musicians themselves.

Vanilla Sky - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Vanilla Sky is a 2001 American science-fiction thriller film directed, co-produced and co-written by Cameron Crowe . The film is an English-language remake of the 1997 Spanish movie Abre los ojos (Open Your Eyes) , the screenplay for which was written by Alejandro Amenábar and Mateo Gil .

This is the film, albeit taking several times to finally watch it completely through, to fall in love with the music of Sigur Ros, their home of Iceland, and the desire to visit and even live there one day. by trina Apr 11

330 BC An explorer named Pytheas sailed north from Marseilles (in modern France) to discover how far the world would reach in that direction. He navigated the British Isles and the northern seas and wrote about an island that he called Thule or Ultima Thule in his now lost work, On the Ocean . This island was six days north of Britain and one day from "the end of the world".
