Review of Inni (2011) by Biggs_Za — 29 Apr 2012

Inni is special. Generally I was mesmerised by this film from start to finish. Sigur Ros has established a unique style over the years and it has evolved to a more mature version of their debut Von. After careful [re]listening to Von, I've found it to be quite an amazing and underrated album.

The chosen cinematographic style, in my opinion, represents remnants of Von to haunt you visually. It definitely adds a particularly peculiar dimension to their music that I found creative in context of oeuvre of Sigur Ros.

Concerning the music, it is brilliant. The small variations in some songs makes this production a special one to own. I've also found some songs to emphasise (only slightly) different instruments that highlights things that (if you know their music well) have known, heard but never realised.

It is also a sign of true artists to produce such a performance live and make it sound just as good (some places even better) than their studio albums; thus a true all-rounder band. As a concluding remark, keep in mind that the film and audio version is available.

In other words, if the "claustrophobia" of Inni gets its hands to cover your nose and mouth and leaves you too breathless, purchase only the audio. The audio, as mentioned above, is outstanding and different enough to own as a separate album.
