Sigur Ros - Ágætis Byrjun - CD (1999)

Labels: Fat Cat Records
Review by: Martin Brown

Oh great, another pile of wonderful musical craftsmanship from the awesome SIGUR ROS has come to test my pathetic punk terminology. I am to the reviewers’ profession what the Etch-a-Sketch is to art, so to have my thin veneer of superiority through knowing too much about obscure punk bands stripped away is really scary. There are guitars, violins, flutes, bows, pianos, harmonicas, angelic vocals, the works – it just rocks, OK?! If you like GODSPEED…, MOGWAI, etc., then this will make your life worth living. There, happy??
