Half a decade later, Sigur Rós would find themselves on the soundtrack of practically every film and nature documentary produced. That’s an accurate translation of the title gtis byrjun, and yet in precise terms it does not fit the album it belongs to. The 20th anniversary gtis byrjun box set drops like a rock June 21, and you can pre-order all variations of the reissue at the digital deluxe edition of Sigur Rs’s website here. The gorgeous Starálfur still manages to be incredibly moving with its palindromic string arrangement, while Olsen Olsen features the introduction of the band's own gibberish language Hopelandic. Thanks to Kjartan Sveinsson's Beatles-esque ear for arrangement and orchestration, singer Jónsi Birgisson flourishes on this record. We like to think we’ve done some pretty sweet album packages over the years, but AB20 might just be the best one yet.
The Icelanders, assisted by the fin de siècle spirit of late 90s post-rock heralded by the likes of Mogwai and Godspeed You! Black Emperor, found their voice on Ágætis Byrjun, creating a musical universe. You can return the item for any reason in new and unused condition: no shipping charges.

The song and album as a whole remain Sigur Rós's best and purest distillation of their enigmatic sound and still blows audiences and imitators away to this point. But it still has that Sigur Ros sound and feel similar to the studio album. Listening to this you can hear the band tentatively playing this new song.

Plus there's a live track from '98 ('Svefn-g-englar') which at this early stage has no lyrics or sound effects. However, even 20 years on, one only needs to listen to the opening moments of Intro/Svefn-g-Englar for all that bad taste to wash away. Plus there's a demo of 'Agaetis byrjun' from '98 which is pretty cool.
