Comment
Peel Session broadcast 20th August 2000, may circulate as Sept or April 2000 as slight confusion with abother live Peel session (Camber Sands) in April 2000. Session possibly repeated 26th Sept 2000.
Tracks 1 & 2 are 'Untitled' according to John Peel. Not to be confused with 2002's 'Untitled' album/songs. All 3 tracks have never surfaced in a studio/live recording as far as I know. Duration 20 mins.

*The session tracks were announced as above, but thanks to Steve Pearson for the following:
There's a story behind this session you might be interested in. After recording the three songs, they titled them "Big", "Bureaucratic", and "Corporation". Somewhere along the line, the names were changed to "Untitled" "Untitled" "Cold". Georg Holm (Sigur Rós' bass player) has stated: "...we started off by trying one of our old songs "Agætis Byrjun" and a new song and they just didn´t work. Mostly because the studio temperature must have been below zero, and when we asked them to turn up the heat it wasn´t possible because to turn one button on they had to call out a "qualified" person to do it, of course that wasn´t possible on a Sunday. Thats the reason we felt it to be a bit "bureaucratic". Finally we gave up, as we were packing up we started to fiddle around with some of the equipment and made a 30 min experiment, which became the Peel session. The names for the songs were only in jest as a private joke for us and us only."
