This week I've got an Album in my mailbox that I did win on Ebay.
BarFrikki The Sessions - A taste of Icelandic Music (enhanced CD).
An Album for free with Scottish The List Magazine (# 487) in 2004.
Sponsored by Tennent's Lager & Icelandair.
6 Tracks are:

2. Sigur Ros - Untitled #4
3. Ske - Stuff
4. Singapore Sling - Nuthin' Ain't Bad
5. Leaves - Breathe

Of course their are plenty other Icelandic Music compilation albums. For instance the Airwaves Festival CDs and Folk Music compilations. Even a lot of Soundtracks are a sort of compilation.
