T
o mark 20 years since its original release, Sigur Rós are reissuing their beloved album Takk… in a freshly remasterededition that brings new depth and clarity to a modern classic. First released in 2005, Takk… is the album thatintroduced so many to the band, with singles Glósóli, Sæglópur and Hoppípolla bringing a whole new audience. Takk… was recorded at the band’s own studio, Sundlaugin, near Álafoss in the town of Mossfellbær, outsideReykjavík. The album was produced by the band with Ken Thomas, Takk being the third successive and final studio album they worked on together. This reissue has been carefully remastered by the bands long standing mastering engineer Ted Jenson at Sterling Sound. The result is a clearer, fuller sound that keeps all the warmth and magic of the original while letting the details shine through. Available on 3 x 12” vinyl for the first time, this edition of the album now contains the 3 original Takk era B Sides as well as two new and previously unreleased tracks: Melrakki and Elfur.[info sheet from distr.]
