Iceland's capital and largest city is Reykjavík, which (along with its surrounding areas) is home to over 65% of the population. Iceland is the biggest part of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge that rises above sea level, and its central volcanic plateau is erupting almost constantly. The interior consists of a plateau characterised by sand and lava fields, mountains, and glaciers, and many glacial rivers flow to the sea through the lowlands. Iceland is warmed by the Gulf Stream and has a temperate climate, despite a high latitude just outside the Arctic Circle. Its high latitude and marine influence keep summers chilly, and most of its islands have a polar climate. According to the ancient manuscript , the settlement of Iceland began in 874 AD when the Norwegian chieftain Ingólfr Arnarson became the first ...

	Edda (record Label) "Edda" (; Old Norse ''Edda'', plural ''Eddur'') is an Old Norse term that has been applied by modern scholars to the collective of two Medieval Icelandic literary works: what is now known as the ''Prose Edda'' and an older collection of poems (without an original title) now known as the ''Poetic Edda''. The term historically referred only to the ''Prose Edda'', but this usage has fallen out of favour because of confusion with the other work. Both works were written down in Iceland during the 13th century in Icelandic, although they contain material from earlier traditional sources, reaching back into the Viking Age. The books provide the main sources for medieval skaldic tradition in Iceland and for Norse mythology. The Edda has been criticized for imposing Snorri's own Christian views on Norse mythology. In particular the clean-cut explanation of what happens to a soul after death as understood in the Edda contradicts other sources on death in Norse mythology. Etymology At ...

	Mjötviður Mær ''Mjötviður Mær'', released in 1981, was the second album by Icelandic new wave/rock group Þeyr. It was edited through Eskvímó in 12” vinyl. ''Mjötviður Mær'' was Þeyr's most important work, according to the media. Formed by 12 songs, "Iss", "Þeir" and "2999" could be deemed as attempts to create a futuristic pop style thanks to voice distortions, keyboards and additional rhythm. “Úlfur” is a track that outstands due to its angry mood and thus became into one of the most famous. Also important are, “Mjötviður”, an instrumental track and “Rúdolf”, a song loaded with rock anger and constitute an antifascist lampoon of Adolf Hitler. This record was never reissued. However, some of its recordings appeared in '' Mjötviður til Fóta'' (2001), a special release to commemorate the 20 anniversary of Þeyr's reincarnation. This CD also featured recordings from the single ''Iður til Fóta'' (1981). Cover design and inserts This album and their second wor ...

	Life Transmission ''Life Transmission'', also known in Icelandic as ''Útfrymi'' (''Ectoplasm'') was a single released by Icelandic band Þeyr in 1981 through label Eskvímó. It was formed by two songs: "Life Transmission", which was originally conceived as a "word sculpture" around the phrase "Life Transmission", although it is the final result of automatic writing and it was also the first song in English by the band. "Heima er Bezt", which means "Home is Best", was sung in Icelandic and is loaded with the reichian ravings of a young man trying to have sex with his female partner. The tracks of this single were featured on '' Northern Lights Playhouse'', a compilation released by label Fálkinn. The record was dedicated to Ian Curtis of Joy Division (the title itself can be referred back to the Joy Division lyric "Radio...live transmission" from their own debut single).

picture info	Independent Record Label An independent record label (or indie label) is a record label that operates without the funding or distribution of major record labels; they are a type of small- to medium-sized enterprise, or SME. The labels and artists are often represented by trade associations in their country or region, which in turn are represented by the international trade body, the Worldwide Independent Network (WIN). Many of the labels started as producers and distributors of specific genres of music, such as jazz music, or represent something new and non-mainstream, such as Elvis Presley in the early days. Indies release rock, soul, R&B, jazz, blues, gospel, reggae, hip hop, and world music. Music appearing on indie labels is often referred to as indie music, or more specifically by genre, such as indie hip-hop.

	Mjötviður Til Fóta ''Mjötviður til Fóta'' was an album released in 2001 to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the creation of Þeyr, one of Iceland’s most important bands of the early eighties. ''Mjötviður til Fóta'' contains songs recovered from the album ''Mjötviður Mær'' and the single ''Iður til Fóta'', two records released in 1981. The material was originally recorded in 1981 at Studio Hljóðriti and it was digitized and mastered on October 25, 2001 at Stafræna Hljóðupptökufélaginu when guitarist and scientist Guðlaugur Kristinn Óttarsson took helm in the hot and cold thermal curating process where only analog thermometers were used. Þeyr never reissued the other records, since the masters are believed to be lost and thus, the only recorded material of the band currently available is this release, as well as some other Icelandic compilations where few of their tracks are featured.
