    I'm not sure there are too many bands out there really like them, that's for sure! (For the record: I am a moderate fan.)

    Eloy and Tangerine Dream came to mind when I first listened to them. But as you said there is not many like this. I heard once that you are a Thievery fan, what do you recommend other than Thievery, please don't tell me Portishead and Morccheeba.

    If I reach back to the early 90s, Spiritualized had some of that atmospheric feel that Sigur Ros can generate. Then there's moments of Godspeed You Black Emperor -- but they get far too comatose and repetetive for me at times. At least Sigur Ros pulls odd sounds that keep you engaged.

    A close match to Theivery, IMO, are their Austrian bretheren in Kruder & Dorfmeister. Some really good stuff there.

    I like an occasional Portishead song, but I'm not much for Morccheeba.

    Check out the Album Leaf and M83 if you like that Sigur Ros sound.

    As hard as it is to draw parallels to Sigur Ros, I must say -- well done with both suggestions.

    Yeah, M83 have quite a different sound, but the soundscapes and emotions are very similar. And the Album Leaf's "In A Safe Place" was recorded in Iceland and a lot of the songs feature Sigur Ros artists. In fact one of them has Sigor Ros vocals in it! Great album!

    I would even go as far to say that Mogwai give me a similar feeling to Sigur Ros. "Happy Songs for Happy People" being the closest. Mogwai's latest installment is pretty good post rock too.

    I'm making a visit to London this summer, what are CD prices like there? I'm planning to buy some UK imports that cost over 30 bucks here!
