Sigur Rós - Avalon (Sped up 800x)

[PraecoNoctis]

first bit sounds like Pachelbel's Canon

[myHEADisAtv]

Wow, actually sounds jolly instead of incredibly dull!

[styrmirn1]

Maybe they took a really old piece of classical music and then they slowed it down and added some modern vibe to it?

[HamSandwich09]

Baroque as fuck.

[thesenamesaretaken]

Is this legit? The sped-up version sounds like it ought to be released as a song on its own.

[drplbiftin]

This is Staralfur not Avalon

[hyvaakoskasuomi]

@drplbiftin Avalon is a slowed down part of Staralfur. Just play Avalon on 4x speed. ;)

[LinkedSnake]

Sounds like a music from a J-RPG that happens in present!

[chuckst0nes]

Why speed it up so much?

If you speed Avalon up 4 times it's actually an alternative take of the string section from Starálfur, which itself is palindromic (meaning it plays the same in reverse as it does forward).

Sigur Ros are genius!

[numbuh53]

@chuckst0nes Because people have been slowing down mainstream stuff by 800% like Justin Bieber and Lady Gaga and people say it sounds like Sigur Ros. So now people are speeding up Sigur Ros music by 800%.

[TheOneAndOnly554153]

this sounds like staralfur, not avalon!

[dressedupinsmoke]

@TheOneAndOnly554153 Avalon is actually a section from Staralfur, slowed down.

[exedeath]

you should sped up using paulstretch it will be a different thing.

[Benso87]

I think you meant 800%.

[missionprodigy]

DUDE, if you spped it up 4x, then it is Staralfur!

[BobbyReed]

This doesn't sound like Justin Bieber!

[kieronmelleyzpage]

@BobbyReed that because it's Sigur Rós
