Editorial Review: Album Description: Sigur Ros first caught international attention when they released Agaetis Byrjun ("A Good Beginning") in 2000. Immediately considered one of the most respected ambient bands, they developed a cult status with their 2002 release, ( ). They toured with Radiohead and Bjork and have sold over one million records to date. Before their worldwide success, however, the band had released Von ("Hope"), on the Sugarcubes-owned label Bad Taste (Smekkleysa SM in Icelandic). An essential album in the Sigur Ros catalog, Von was never released outside of Iceland. This is the first time Von has been made available in North America. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Clues of glorious futuresMostly this album is an overblown dark ambient hodgepodge of genre fittings, but occasionally the brilliance that would become this band comes through. Their debut is perhaps the only album where Sigur Ros could actually be heard sounding like something else (quintessential shoegazers Slowdive come to mind) and the only album in their respected discography not needed to date. Rating:  - Audio Art at it's best.I was introduced to Sigur Ros backwards. I heard all their latest albums first and finally got my way back to the original release. This album sounds nothing like the other ones, it is a real jem -their best in my opinion. A organic mixture of sounds that spark emotion; I loved every second of it. If you like experimental music this is your ticket! -d Rating: - Good, but not veryThis album is good, but not very. The 3rd track really disappointed me. I just bought this album to listen to the 5th track. If you're a fan, try and buy this album. It might be good for you. But if you're not a fan, try their other albums. This album might not be best for you or maybe the other way around. Just try it, if you like it, keep it. If you don't like it, maybe you could give it to somebody else who loves this kind of music. If you don't like it, don't buy it! If you like it, buy it! Rating: - Underrated BeautyIf I remember correctly, this album was supposed to be experimental, not something concerning a particular concept or following a certain pattern. Many fans don't consider this album their favorite. But it was my first, and I can't deny that this one may be my most liked. The vocalist reminds me of ghosts singing to themselves in their (after)lifetime of bleakness. The delicately soft music hypnotizes me. Though Von is primarily supposed to be experimental, I believe this album ... Read More Rating: - A gloomy synthesis of rock, ambience, and electronic experimentationAs a huge fan of 1960s-1970s European psychedelic and progressive rock, "Berlin School" electronica, and American minimalism, I was delighted with this 1997 debut from Icelanders Sigur Ros. Stylistically, this album fuses elements of electronica, minimalism, the European avant-garde, and ambient styles (especially Brian Eno) with rock, and exhibits a level of studio wizardry that is vaguely reminiscent of psychedelic rock groups such as Pink Floyd during the 1967-1969 period. The overall ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
