Available for One Week Only

And I'm not exactly sure when that week began.  This was pulled from Pitchfork's "One One Week Only" feature.  It's a 17 minute clip of Sigur Ros recording a song from their most recent album live accompanied by a full orchestra.  It's pretty good.  Pretty beautiful actually, Jonsi Birgisson's voice in particular.  With all those impeccable ears gathered in one room I can't help but wonder what the musicians in the orchestra, and the children's choir for that matter, think of the arrangement, the song, and Sigur Ros as a band. Presumably, some of them were at least vaguely familiar with the band.  By the same token, I bet several had never heard of them before.    Moreover, it's interesting to hear the band members insights as to the impetus for recording this song this way.
