Taper: nada2k - The host talked after Ný Batterí and Við Spilum Endalaust, I cut the talking out. Gobbledigook was broadcast at 10:00PM, Popplagið was broadcast right before 9:00PM; I put them at the right positions in the recording. Popplagið is cut at the end, it's still over 9 minutes long though.

Comments

This a second FM source of Sigur Rós set at the 'Náttúra Concert'. This source offers excellent sound quality, and it is far superior to the 'RAI Uno source'. The output is absolutely clean and quite powerful, really full and upfront. However, it is not totally complete, as Svefn-G-Englar fades in, missing the very first seconds of the song, and Popplagið fades out, missing the closing climax of the song.

The complete line-up was Ghostigital, Ólöf Arnalds, Sigur Rós and Björk. And note Ólöf Arnalds and Björk joined the band onstage to play drums during Gobbledigook.

To know more about the 'Náttúra Concert', this was extracted from National Geographic's website:

On June 28th, 2008 Icelandic superstars Björk and Sigur Rós will team up to perform a free concert in their hometown of Reykjavik. The Náttúra concert is a bid to raise awareness of the destruction of Iceland's natural landscape, and will be webcast live on Nat Geo Music.

The Náttúra concert will be an open-air event, held at the Botanical Garden on Laugavegur, near the center of Reykjavik, Iceland. The country boasts the largest unspoilt wilderness left in Europe, and Náttúra is being organized as a response to the ongoing environmental degradation caused by Iceland's increasingly invasive aluminium smelting activity.
