31. Sigur Rós - Ágætis Byrjun (2000)
A masterpiece. When I first heard 'Svefn-G-Englar' in 1999 on a free CD, it took my breath away, I couldn't put it into words, so here I let the critics do that for the album it came off:
"Each song drifts in and out of focus like snatches of street noise on a half-awake Sunday morning - no need to get up, just lie there and listen quietly" - Armchair DJ -
"Agaetis Byrjun stands up in overall artistic merit to any record ever made." - Nude as the News-
"Sigur Rós effortlessly make music that is massive, glacial, and sparse..... They are the first vital band of the 21st Century" - Pitchfork-
"As foolish as it seems to say that any music is 100 percent new, I've never heard anything like this before." - Popmatters-
