GusGus is an electronic band from Reykjavík, Iceland.〔(Gusgus )〕 They were founded in 1995. The group's discography consists of nine studio albums. == History == Initially formed as a film and acting collective, the group became mostly known for its electronic music. GusGus has had a varied lineup, including the following: * Daníel Ágúst Haraldsson * Emilíana Torrini Davíðsdóttir * Magnús Jónsson (a.k.a. Blake) * Hafdís Huld Þrastardóttir * Urður Hákonardóttir (a.k.a. Earth) * Högni Egilsson * Birgir Þórarinsson (a.k.a. Biggi Veira or Biggo) * Magnús Guðmundsson (a.k.a. Maggi Lego, Herb Legowitz, Hunk of a Man, Buckmaster De La Cruz, The Fox, Fuckmaster, or Herr Legowitz) * Stephan Stephensen (a.k.a. President Bongo, Alfred More, or President Penis) * Sigurður Kjartansson (a.k.a. Siggi Kinski) * Stefán Árni Þorgeirsson * Baldur Stefánsson * Ragnheiður Axel * Páll Garðarsson Its 2015 incarnation consists of four members (President Bongo, Biggi Veira, Urður Hákonardóttir and Daníel Ágúst Haraldsson). After the group's third album, ''This Is Normal'' (1999), the filmmaking arm of Gusgus (Kjartansson and Árni Þorgeirsson) split off to form the production company Celebrator, now known as Arni & Kinski,〔(Arni & Kinski | Biography )〕 which has produced advertisements and videos. A few former members such as Hafdís Huld, Blake, and Daníel Ágúst have gone solo, most notably though Emilíana Torrini, who provided a song for the soundtrack of Peter Jackson's film ''The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers''. Gusgus' music is eclectic, and although primarily classified as techno, trip hop, and house music, the band has experimented with numerous other styles. It has also remixed several famous artists, including Björk, Depeche Mode, Moloko, and Sigur Rós. In January 2004, GuGus released the song "Desire" with Ian Brown. A remix of the track "Purple" appeared on Paul Oakenfold's trance compilation ''Tranceport''. The band's name refers to the 1974 German film ''Ali: Fear Eats the Soul'' by Rainer Werner Fassbinder, where a female character is cooking couscous for her lover, pronouncing it ''Gusgus''. The band regards it as a sex reference.〔(Gusgus Interview with Nina Asseng, Berlin 2007 ) (comment by Daníel Ágúst, starting at 5:30)〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「GusGus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
