Yellow Hill Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 That is such a hard question... but Takk and Agaetis Byrjun are my faves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gui-Home42 Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Definitely start with Takk. I totally agree with you, start with Takk ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms Magpie Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Takk is a good start, but Agaetis Byrjun is my fave. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tnspieler1012 Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 ^ Same. Takk and Agaetis Byrjun are the best and Meo suo i eyrum is the most accessible. ( ) is amazing too, but I wouldn't recommend starting with it (like I did). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tnspieler1012 Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 you started with () and got into them? Yeah actually. I just went with the most interesting looking cover (it was also cheaper than takk.. I think). It was new and really fascinating to me. And the first four tracks are still really sensational. Vaka and Samskeyti really stuck with me, and after hearing hoppipolla on you-tube I decided to keep exploring. So then I bought Meo suo i eyrum because I thought their most recent album would be a safe bet. Not their best of course, but its still amazing and spectacular. And it was great to hear those great voices and instruments placed in something more rythmic and upbeat... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricardo Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 I did love meo suo... I mean, it wasn't their best album, but it was very different from what they have done before, and there are some amazing songs like ara batur for example and inni mer, although the feeling of this newer album is more acoustic and happy, but I still love it, maybe not as much as the others but you can't compare at all: agaetis byrjun: ambient rock with heavy classical music influence, an spectacular mix that makes a gorgeous and solid album (): probably the best post-rock album ever takk: art rock, something close to art and variety, what I would say "baroque" :P með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust:sort of acoustic, and maybe like a more personal and café style music, beautiful anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tnspieler1012 Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Yeah, its unfair to compare directly because it denotes that meo suo i eyrum is somehow flawed, when I personally wouldn't change a thing. They're just stylistically different but with different strokes of brilliance. Takk... and Agaetis Byrjun just stand out because they're more impacting, but with the exception of tracks like ara batur and flotavik, Meo Suo I eyrum wasn't intended to be like thoe albums. It was more fun and light-hearted. I'm really excited to see what their next album will be like! I also like the description of "baroque" with takk... you get that feeling especially on the second half with tracks like milano, svo hlott, and heysatan.

miwa Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 haha I definitely didn't do it on purpose. :D I'm really, really happy I got Takk... because it's fantastic. My favorite is Sæglópur, but I also love Hoppípolla, Heysátan, Glósóli, Mílanó... The whole album is amazing. Ah, I'm in love. :heart: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
