Myths and legends

Every few years, you will find a CD which easily transported beyond common sounds and structures through music only moods. For me, the "69" of AR Kane, "Spirit of Eden" TalkTalk or "Millions Now Living Will Never Die" were from Tortoise. It is in this tradition, I also see "Agaetis Byrjun" of Sigur Rós, even if the aforementioned musical are not comparable. A song structure is difficult to see, nevertheless here and there push beguiling melodies in the foreground. The game between silence and noise will be taken to the extreme, just like the game with the styles. Almost gemahnender to Pink Floyd rock changes with almost classical elements. This is art that largely avoids false artificiality. The most important is the transport of a particular mood rather mythic / melancholic, towards the listener to assume here that for themselves. And that succeeds perfectly. It Sigur Rós occupy a field that was occupied in the past few years more of trip-hop bands like Portishead and are here a welcome change. Who does not want to just listen to music, but also experience, has with "Agaetis Byrjun" found the right CD.
