Hlemmur is a soundtrack from 2002, composed and performed by the Icelandic band Sigur Rós.[2] It is an instrumental electronic score to the Icelandic documentary Hlemmur, which is named after Reykjavík's main bus terminal. It was originally made available to the general audience during the spring 2003 European and American tours. It's made up of 19 songs, some of which are variations on the same theme. The film and the soundtrack were released together in a limited-edition DVD-CD package in August 2007 on the band's own label, Krúnk.
