■ "Ágætis byrjun" ——Sigur Rós
■ 1999 | The original list is for an Icelandic female singer, and here I would like to mention the equally best Sigur Rós band
■ Post-rock, ambient music, fantasy
"Ágætis byrjun" is the work of the Icelandic post-rock band Sigur Rós, released on June 12, 1999. The name of the album means "a good start" or "a good start". The name came from a friend who told the band that it was a good start after listening to an early version of the song of the same name in the album. This album is very different from the band's album "Von", which is more experimental, while this album shows the band's unique style, such as playing guitar with a cello bow, and rich arrangements of classical instruments.
