Hey, great doc. It would be great if you had a graphic of the artists' names as they are mentioned in the interviews, so us non-Icelanders could find them. Otherwise, it might be lost to people who don't know them. Thanks.

I´m Icelandic and it´s funny how Ólafur Arnalds can be so overlooked over here. I know that he´s is well respected with his peers but he hardly gets any recognition. I think I´ve been missing out on something good.

Thank you for sharing this. I've discovered some Icelanders artists (beside Olafur Arnalds and Sigur Ros)!

Despues de las fuertes imagenes de Mugison y de la banda con el accidente de auto, sin duda tendrian que llamar la atencion por la cantidad de proyectos musicales y de tan buena calidad, creo que ya es un hecho que desde hace un tiempo la escena de la musica islandesa es conocida y lo seguira seindo cada vez mas, prueba de ello es aqui mismo en youtube donde hay varias listas de reproduccion de musica islandesa. Por supuesto cualquier esfuezo como el de Beyond Series no esa de mas.
