[edit] Album name

how is the name meant to be pronounced? -- Tarquin 14:59 17 May 2003 (UTC)

As "      ", of course. How else?
I've heard it called "Parentheses". Omphaloscope 5 July 2005 14:57 (UTC)
I've always just called it "the untitled CD" or "their untitled CD"

"Brackets", "Parenthesis", "Untitled Album" or just nothing at all (just a gap while speaking) Fantom 22:35, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] "The Spy Machine"

What is "The Spy Machine"? -leigh (φθόγγος) 20:35, Dec 9, 2004 (UTC)

Yeah I also want to know where that came from. -ZepAn
"The Spy Machine" is what "Njósnavélin" means. "The Nothing Song" is an alternate title for this track.
Yeah but where have people got these names from seeing as all the tracks are officially untitled?
[1] explains it well. R Calvete 05:58, 2005 July 11 (UTC)
the article should explain that the alternate titles are how the band refer to them (even though they're unnamed)

[edit] Differant variants?

Should we add some information on the differant variants of the album: like the fact that the EU, US, Japanese, and Aussie releases each got a differant coverart? Also, Iceland didn't get any unique coverart, but all four releases were actually sold there commercially. There was also a 2002/03 Spanish pressing by Karonte which had the album housed in a digibook with 94 (!) pages of contempery art.

There is a link to the Spanish Version here. http://www.popplagid.com/graphics/CDbook1.htm Endlessmug 14:07, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] <^>v!!This album is connected!!v<^>

[edit] Mogwai Itunes Tracklisting

Is it just me who finds the “fake” track listing on iTunes to be completely irrelevant to the album page? I think giving just the real track names is sufficient enough. Endlessmug 14:20, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Album written while touring AB

All the songs in ( ) were being developed during their Ágætis byrjun tour. By the time they were recording these songs in the studio for a release, the band had played them MANY times before. Endlessmug 14:20, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vonlenska

All the mention of the English interpretations of the Vonlenska should be on the Vonlenska page only I think. It just seems to be a little irrelevant being there is no true interpretation. Endlessmug 14:20, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Requested move

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the debate was Move Duja► 10:12, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

( ) (album) → ( ) — Petition to move back the page to its original location. I do not feel that a distinct disambiguation page is necessary; the ( ) (album) page already had a link on the top to ( ) (film). The album sold half a million copies. 74.109.173.23 00:52, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

  • Support The film is borderline non-notable. – Anþony  talk  11:25, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
    • Who cares? If that article is deleted due to non-notability, then move the album to (). -- Kicking222 00:16, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose () is a completely valid disambiguation. There's no reason for the move. -- Kicking222 00:16, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
    • Do you think that Toronto (disambiguation) should be where Toronto is now? If not, this is the same case: people are much more likely to be looking for the album, and we're introducing an unnecessary click for them. --74.109.173.23 00:49, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
    • See WP:D#Primary topic. When one topic is significantly more likely to be searched for than other uses, it gets the name. – Anþony  talk  05:15, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Support. Although there has as yet appeared no evidence that the film title was in any way derived from the album, the album is far more widely known and appeared first, and is IMO the primary meaning. Andrewa 11:09, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Discussion

Add any additional comments:

As an aside, I notice that all of the references are from the band itself, yet there are four independent reviews. You should be relying on those primarily, not information from the band. – Anþony  talk  11:27, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
