Gargandi Snilld
2005.12.20
A couple of days ago was presented in London Screaming Masterpiece (Gargandi Snilld in Icelandic), a film celebrating the musical history of Iceland with exclusive live footage and interviews from the artists that put the country on the map: Björk, The Sugarcubes, Sigur rós and Múm among others. At least that’s what’s the One Little Indian website is currently announcing…
The DVD is apparently (already???) available through the Icelandic Smekkleysa website. Here is what they write about it: “Screaming Masterpiece captures all the energy of the world’s hottest indie music scene in Iceland’s cool capital city of Reykjavik. There are masterful performances by international superstars like Björk, Sigur Rós and Múm , as well as insider looks at the music being played in local clubs by a host of other bands with unpronounceable names but unforgettable music. The film journeys through Iceland’s breathtaking landscape and back down the centuries to Viking times in search of an answer to the question, asked again and again by the music press and eager fans: Why is this music so hot? This is a feature-length powerhouse film, throbbing with musical energy and fast-moving visuals. If you have ever wondered at the distinct and captivating music of Iceland, this is the film that will take you to the source and show you where it’s all coming from. An inspirational rock-documentary, Screaming Masterpiece is a piece of music history. The DVD includes more than two extra hours of indepth interviews with the artists who explain their own theories of what the music is all about. ”

[If you don't feel like spending 40$ on such a DVD, you still can buy the soundtrack, available everywhere.]
