Sigur Ros - Takk. 3LP [Deluxe 20th Anniversary]

20th anniversary edition of Takk… on 3 x 12” vinyl for the first time. Features the album, remastered by Ted Jensen at Sterling Sound plus rarities and b-sides.

Tracklisting includes the b-sides from the 2006 Sæglópur EP release, available on vinyl for the first time, plus two previously unreleased tracks, Melrakki and Elfur. These tracks were originally written and recorded in the sessions that lead up to the recording of the Takk… album, but are now available officially for the first time.

Takk... - Sigur Rós’s fourth album and the one where they finally got happy, albeit in their own inimitable and deeply inscrutable, north Atlantic way. This is the record that gave the world ‘Hoppípolla’, a song which cemented Sigur Rós’s reputation for being the go-to band for anyone wanting a sense of wonderful possibility in their film/TV show. The record also harboured moments of definitive Sigur Rós drama in singles Glósóli and Sæglópur, and high beauty in Sé Lest and Svo Hljótt.

Takk.... - which means “thank you” in the band’s native Icelandic - quickly became the band’s biggest-selling album around the world, fuelled by Hoppípolla’s usage in the BBC’s Planet Earth nature series. Sung in a mixture of Icelandic and the wordless Hopelandic, Takk... was recorded by the band with producer Ken Thomas in 2005 at their Sundlaugin studio in the Icelandic countryside.
