Illegal material with Sigur Rós
Not long ago, yet another homepage dedicated to the Icelandic artists Sigur Rós was opened. About 200 illegal recordings are listed on the page - most of which are from the band's live performances. The page is probably the most detailed of those dedicated to the band.

Over 200 illegal sound recordings with Sigur Rós in circulation
Sigur Rós fan site count rises to fifteen

Sigur Rós' success seems to increase every year. The band's fabulous victory at the MTV Europe music awards will certainly add further to their prestige, but the video to the opening track of the latest album, ( ), was chosen as the best one this year.
The admiration is steadily growing. Homepages dedicated to the band have become fifteen and of Icelandic artists, only Björk has more online fans. The newest addition, a page with the address www.popplagid.com, is quite special but it can be said without hesitation that it is the most detailed so far.
There one can find lists of everything imaginable and unimaginable which is related to the band where the band's career is reviewed in detail. Video files, sound files, a list of concerts and even pictures of concert tickerts. 200 illegal recordings are listed - most of which are from concerts, and there is also a list of what songs they've played on this and that show.
In that manner, the members of Sigur Rós have joined the ranks of artists who recieve unrelenting admiration - where every member's step, and even cough it seems, is under careful watch.
Sigur Rós are now planning the release of their fourth studio album.
