Album
Ágætis byrjun Icelandic: , A good beginning is the second studio album by Icelandic post-rock band Sigur Rós, released on 12 June 1999. The album was recorded between the summer of 1998 and the spring of 1999 with producer Ken Thomas. Ágætis byrjun represented a substantial departure from the band's previous album Von, with that album's extended ambient soundscapes replaced by Jónsi Birgisson's now signature cello-bowed guitarwork and lush orchestration, using a double string.

Ágætis byrjun is the second album from the Icelandic post-rock group Sigur Rós. In English, the albums title means a good beginning or an alright start. The title of the album came from a friend who, after he listened to an early version of the title track, told the band that it was a good start. The name stuck. The albums sound is a mix of spacial, ethereal soundscapes and loud distortion. The album was released in Iceland in 1999 and through word of mouth spread to more countries over the next two years. Soon after they were touring with Radiohead, appearing in many year-end lists, and being hailed by critics as one of the best rock albums of all-time. Ágætis byrjun Q&A. I own nothing. For educationnal purposes only. Before you ask yourself why, just go to 54:20 Staralfur backwards and enjoy the perfect palindrome in their second album, Ágætis byrjun, Sigur Rós knew only that they wanted to make things bigger. Their first record, 1997s Von, was dark and, by the standards of what they became famous for, positively screechy: Back then, they were inspired by the hurtling propulsion of Smashing Pumpkins and My Bloody Valentine, bands that generated soothing textures from cacophony. Its alarming to consider, from the vantage of 2019, the degree to which he seems to have accomplished his mission.

It is generally considered their best-liked album, and it appeared on many critics' best of 2000, 2001 record lists. This second album - Ágætis Byrjun - translates roughly to Good Start. So as talented as Von might have been, this time out is probably even more worthy of dramatic debut expectations. Indeed, Ágætis Byrjun pulls no punches from the start. After an introduction just this side of one of the aforementioned Stone Roses' backward beauties, the album pumps in the morning mist with Sven-G-Englar - a song of such accomplished gorgeousness that one wonders why such a tiny country as Iceland can musically outperform entire continents in just a few short minutes.
