In 1999 Sigur Rós released 'Ágætis Byrjun' ('A Good Start'), which Q magazine deemed 'the last great record of the 20th century'. By the end of the year, it had won the inaugural US Shortlist Prize for Artistic Achievement in Music. This 20th Anniversary edition of the album features demo and archive versions of the songs, plus never-before-heard newly-unearthed material from the time, rare b-sides and the full 95-minute concert played in Reykjavík on the day the record was released.
ReviewsRanked #35 in NME's "Top 50 Albums Of The Year" - "...The shoegazing soundtrack to frozen skies and magma flows...", Ranked #13 in Spin's "Top 20 Albums of the Year 2000"., "...Deep, Almost Primordial Beauty....It Doesn't Get Much more Sublime than This.", 4 Stars Out of 5-"...The Most Bizzarely Beautiful Import from Iceland since Bjork...", Ranked #70 in Mojo's "100 Modern Classics" -- "So captivatingly diffuse, AGAETIS BYRJUN sounds as though it was beamed in from 1,000 years ago.", Included in Rolling Stone's "Top 50 Albums of 2000"., "The album' mixture of cello-bowed guitar, sugar-frosted strings and heavenly human choruses would have a huge impact on tourmates Radiohead, whose ice-age anti-statement KID A remains indebted to this mini-masterpiece.", 8 out of 10 - "...All midnight-sun and bummed-Viking angst. Jon or Birgisson's lovely, breathless vocals glide over guitar clouds, and drums boom along at a languid pace as the songs slowly approach bliss-out...", "one of Ágætis Byrjun’s defining features is its unbound sense of optimism, the idea that pop music still had some way to go before surrendering its possibilities."
