Entertainment Reviews:
Rolling Stone - 1/4/01, p.116
Included in Rolling Stone's "Top 50 Albums of 2000".Rolling Stone - 9/28/00, p.61
4 stars out of 5 - "...The most bizzarely beautiful import from Iceland since Bjork..."Spin - 1/01, p.73
Ranked #13 in Spin's "Top 20 Albums of the Year [2000]".Spin - 10/00, pp.177-8
8 out of 10 - "...All midnight-sun and bummed-Viking angst. Jon or Birgisson's lovely, breathless vocals glide over guitar clouds, and drums boom along at a languid pace as the songs slowly approach bliss-out..."Uncut
"[o]ne of Ag‘tis Byrjun's defining features is its unbound sense of optimism, the idea that pop music still had some way to go before surrendering its possibilities."Magnet - p.118
"The album' mixture of cello-bowed guitar, sugar-frosted strings and heavenly human choruses would have a huge impact on tourmates Radiohead, whose ice-age anti-statement KID A remains indebted to this mini-masterpiece."CMJ - 10/30/00, p.22
"...Deep, almost primordial beauty....It doesn't get much more sublime than this."Mojo (Publisher) - p.58
Ranked #70 in Mojo's "100 Modern Classics" -- "So captivatingly diffuse, AGAETIS BYRJUN sounds as though it was beamed in from 1,000 years ago."NME (Magazine) - 12/30/00, p.79
