Best of all time !!! LP

When I little while ago on VIVA (think in any case it was VIVA) the clip to have "Svefn g englar" seen, I knew immediately that I must have plate!
I was immediately impressed by this picturesque, beautiful, creeping slow, a long piece that relentlessly dug into my brain turns and established himself there.
I then bought the album, and from the first note I was taken from the music along for the ride and knew how it must look to Iceland, without ever having been there.
Mir is no other band announced that manages to create such a vivid, meaningful music. This band is full of creativity, imagination and inventiveness, and I must say that this is rarely gifted musician; also in view of the fact that the band members are all in their early twenties. They understand it in a unique way to kreiern so clearly drawn sound paintings. Take for example a piece like "hjarto hamast" and hear or see how a snow storm over Iceland sweeps, while the singer revels in sadness and melancholy to experience in the next piece "Vidar vel til loftarasa" as the storm sets and the sun breaks through the clouds.
Amazingly this is with what scanty instruments Sigur Ros to create the most intense feelings and images are able. "Vidar ..." begins with a quiet, beautiful piano melody that is slowly intense, with the atmosphere generated increases more and more. Eventually the song culminates in a gigantic "outbreak", a hurricane of emotions and images, a single noise of feelings; you think you are floating; would you like best hug the whole world in front of happiness, you feel like God! In my opinion there is no tape in the field of pictorial music can range Sigur Ros the water!
"Agaetis Byrjun" sounds like a kind of "Iceland soundtrack". I recommend you to assess the disk after multiple passes; it is so unusual, complex and multi-faceted, that the listener does not disclose her beauty immediately in all their glory. Sometimes it sounds like Britpop in Icelandic ("Vidar vel til loftarasa"), sometimes you can hear a bit strange played trumpet (in the transition from "flugufrelsarinn" to "ny batteri"), sometimes there is a quiet, relaxing Bass Player , provided with soft, understated vocal ("Olsen Olsen"). This music fits in any case not be pigeonholed, which is now already in itself a kind of quality.
Anyone who wants to enjoy real art, created by musicians who move far away from the mainstream, should definitely risk an ear! That's underground music for the connoisseur!
