Okay, Iceland isn't known for tons of great music. But, Sigur Ros would fall into the great category. They create this spacey, trippy, ambient music that is wonderful for background music during worship services (especially communion or commitment style services), personal devotions, and driving down the road on a sunny day. From a technical point, they aren't incredible musicians...but, the music created is pretty spectacular for what it is. I first heard the group while in Grand Rapids at Mars Hill. They used a song for background music during a sort of drama presentation within the message.
You can check out a Sigur Ros concert on-line at the NPR site and sort of familiarize yourself with their music. People that have been around at our junior high camps the last couple of years may find the music to be familiar as Gern and I used it quiet a bit.
