Great. I'm listening to Godspeed You! Black Emperor's "Lift your Skiiny Wrist Like Antennas To Heaven" atm, great for when you're on the computer - a double album with just 4 songs on (2 on each disk) the shortest song being 18-and-a-half minutes long
 
Right, I've given it a go. I'm now on track 2 after about 15 minutes of listening and I still haven't recognized any word I know from any language I've ever heard.

I need to turn it off now, I'm not in the mood. Not to say I won't be as I can see it's place. I need to listen to something a little more "upbeat" at the minute. I haven't even heard a proper guitar riff yet even though I can hear guitars

what language does jónsi sing in?

on von, ágætis byrjun and takk, jónsi sang most songs in icelandic but a few of the songs were sung in 'hopelandic'. all of the vocals ( ) are however in hopelandic. hopelandic (vonlenska in icelandic) is the 'invented language' in which jónsi sings before lyrics are written to the vocals. it's of course not an actual language by definition (no vocabulary, grammar, etc.), it's rather a form of gibberish vocals that fits to the music and acts as another instrument. jónsi likens it with what singers sometimes do when they've decided on the melody but haven't written the lyrics yet. many languages were considered to be used on ( ), including english, but they decided on hopelandic. hopelandic (vonlenska) got its name from first song which jónsi sang it on, hope (von). tracks 7-9 on takk are in hopelandic.
