It'll leave you breathless

Still ranking up there as one of my favourite music videos of all time - Svefn-g-englar by Sigur Ros.

Conceived
and supervised by the band with direction from Agust Jacobsson, it features the Perlan special-needs theatre group acting out a simple but beautiful play.

This has to be the single most disturbing piece of video i have seen in recent times. At least the "kids of widney high" were funny in their way, but this is just downright creepy. I have heard a lot of downtempo techno, but never seen it put to video. I can honestly say that i never want to see or hear anything from this group again. Hooray for the "handicapable", but no thank you. I have to spend enough time being "politically correct" out in public; dealing with this is not necessary. I know you Karl, and I seriously call into question your sanity presenting this to us with a straight face comment.

I'm sorry if you found the video disturbing. I meant every word that I wrote. It is one of my favourite videos and I consider it a brave creation. There is no law that says everyone has to like it.
