Avalon / Starálfur by Sigur Rós (Avalon speeded up x4)

[thorkyll]

sounds far better than the original

[ardillalol]

how can I speed it up x4 ? i don't know it! D:

[Darkit2099]

@ardillalol use Audacity. Upload the song with audacity, go to effects and you can alter the song's speed from there. Just increase speed 300% (or 400%) and you'll get the real track

The first sound sounds like soundf of the Jaguar XJ220 Game intro

beautiful

Thank you so much for posting this. I had absolutely no idea, and I've listened to this album so many times :) Sigur Ros are awesome for putting this little easter egg in their album. Apparently there are some others too, like if you reverse the intro to Starálfur.

[Darkit2099]

@chuckst0nes Reverse the whole string portion after the song fades in the second time and the strings are the same forwards and backwards. Go to my favorite and check out the "Staralfur palindromic strings" that'll blow your mind

[beneaththeroses]

wow . insane 

[dootboot]

that just blew my brain's load. everywhere.

[Heistage]

trolololo is only thing that comes to my mind

[E3tiger]

wow i never noticed!

[LAFKO1]

incroyable...mais vrai!!!!

[nightfinch]

noooo! i thought this song was complete and utter genius not just another song slowed down by four. im very dissapointed. espeacilly with myself for not noticing.

[Benso87]

@nightfinch That doesn't make it any less genius. The same people made both songs, and I'm sure they realized what they were doing when they slowed it down.

[boockly22]

@nightfinch why would you be disappointed!? Its so cool when bands do things like this, and besides staralflur is an awesome song.

[chemassy]

@nightfinch The original version is the slower one.

[oisinallen]

@chemassy The faster version [Starálfur] is the original. How could they play the banjo part 4x slower than a regular banjo?

[Xcokedav096]

awesome, thank you
