August 3rd, 2006. "The band play ‘Dauðalagið’ for the first time on the tour, as well as a soaring rendition of the much-loved ‘Von’, which María says is as good as it’s ever been played, so hopefully we now have those in the can for the movie.

After the show we pad round the harbour to an artist-friendly bar where I chat to young man who last saw Sigur Rós in 1994 (!) when it was just Georg, Jónsi and original drummer Gusti, all with their long hair still flowing. You can’t say we are preaching to the converted on this trip. The atmosphere in the bar is good and communal, with the disparate elements of the crew coming together with some kind of team spirit and common goal." - John Best

July 31st, 2006. "Today the band leave early for Husafell, home of our friend Palli who built the famed “stone marimba” used by the band on the Odin’s Raven Magic orchestral piece. We are going to improvise a piece on the marimba for the film and want to visit Palli where he collects the stones with which he makes the instrument. Palli’s a talented fellow who walks the lonely valley near his home in the countryside picking up the flat pieces of brittle, shattered rock, balancing them on his finger tips and striking them with a mallet to hear the note they create." - John Best Open / Comment
