Sigur Ros are releasing four versions of their new album. Probably to cater for super-fans, fans and followers. There’s the normal CD version for £12, there’s the CD and DRM free mp3 download for £14, there’s mp3 only for £8 and then there’s special edition album, download and DVD (to be released later this year) for £60.

Clever. Very Radiohead. This is the fanclub email that was sent out. Fans get the album before others.

This exquisitely presented deluxe edition is a unique document of the creation of Sigur Rós’ fifth album in film, photography and music. Given unprecedented access to the final stages of the making and release of the group’s new album, photographer Eva Vermandel and film-maker Nicholas Abrahams create an intimate and revealing portrait of the Icelandic quartet at work on their most immediate record to date. Housed in a large-format, fine weave cloth-bound hardback book, the deluxe edition comprises nearly 200 pages of fine art photographic images, as well as an impressionistic film portrait of Sigur Rós, as they record, mix and master Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust. Locations include New York, London, Mexico, Reykjavik and beyond, and take in the filming of the “Gobbledigook” video, tour rehearsals, the early shows on the tour, as well as exclusive band interviews relating to the record. Each edition is individually numbered and includes a unique strip of 16mm film taken from the video “Gobbledigook” as well as the DVD and album.
