What their label says...

A must-have for any fan, this classic album is reissued here for the
first time on heavyweight vinyl, DMM mastered for superior sound.

· ‘Agaetis Byrjun’ has sold over 105,000 copies on CD in the
UK alone, with sales showing no sign of slowing down.
· ‘Von’ and ‘()’, Sigur Ros’s other FatCat releases, are also being
released on 180g DMM vinyl.
· Sigur Ros have recently released a new album and are constantly
in the major press and on national radio.
· Press for this album at the time was exceptional: “Sigur Ros are an
emotionally intense, idiosyncratic and undeniably towering talent” -
Time Out; “The last great band of the twentieth century” - The
Face; “It doesn't get much more sublime than this” - CMJ; “Sigur
Ros effortlessly make music that is massive, glacial, and sparse.
They are Hidden People. Children will be conceived, wrists will be
slashed, scars will be healed, and tears will be wrenched by this
group. They are the first vital band of the 21st Century” –
Pitchfork; “Somewhere between Spiritualized, a traditional
madrigal group and Slowdive with Liz Fraser on vocals, this is
exactly as you’d hope a band from just beneath the Arctic Circle
would sound like” – NME; “Resident in the icelandic charts for over
a year now, this record has been as eagerly awaited by cognoscenti
as anything in years. The reason, largely, is 1999's ‘svefn-g-englar’;
a track of awesome, austere beauty moving at glacial speed which
could be described, without a whiff of hyperbole, as the last great
record of the last millennium. 4/5” – Q.
