Listening to Sigur Rós' excellent Ágætis Byrjun album for the first time in what feels like ages. About 20 years ago (fuck!) I used to listen to pretty much nothing but Icelandic music, Sigur Rós and Amiina in particular. I'll have to 'rediscover' some of the other stuff I used to listen to back then as well.

#GreatAlbums1990s – #SigurRos - #AgaetisByrjun (1999). Sung in Icelandic and Vonlenska (the group’s own made-up language) SR’s breakthrough disc combines dreampop, classical, jazz and ambient gestures in music that thrills and haunts the more you repeat. Birgisson’s Bjork-on-downers voice is a beguiling instrument that lures the listener with its Nordic lament and childlike innocence. A post-rock symphonic journey like no other.
