5 Star Albums: Sigus Rós - Ã￾gætis Byrjun

[Gwladys St. Glory]

Unlike just about everything out there...brilliant. The first time I heard it, I was floored. They haven't bettered it, as far as I'm concerned. It's been fapped over by all and sundry, from big mags to indie blogs. I could get stupid and try to get analytical with it, musically, but that's for other people to waste time with. Music's meant to be heard, first and foremost...so have at it.

Not heard this one yet, got () which I find over-long and underwhelming except for a few tracks. Takk on the other hand is brilliant bar Milano. I'll have to get this now.

'Tis a good 'un, for sure. I should play their stuff more.
