I've been a Sigur Rós fan since someone sent me a copy of Agaetis Byrjun , and I have to say this album is probably the first since then to captivate me quite this much.

I've long been a fan of Hafsol, Which was a B-side to Hoppipolla, and I'm thrilled to see a proper release of this fantastic song.

The really captivating songs for me, though, are the live acoustic versions of Agaetis Byrjun and Staralfur, two of my favourite ever Sigur Rós songs. It's very rare for a 'new version' of a loved song to do the original justice, but Sigur Rós have really pulled it out of the bag for this one. Both truely magnificent, earthy re-workings, worthy of addition to the Sigur Rós canon.

There's something about this album that felt like Sigur Rós were saying goodbye. In fact, when I first heard it, I was a little scared that they were! Time will tell whether or not this marks a departure for newer styles of music in future. Either way, this is a must-have album!

Customer rating: 5 out of 5 stars Awesome

These so called "B" sides are 10 times better than most of the so called "A" sides in the chart today. I urge you to experience this work of art for yourselves.

Some people may be put off by the fact that these aren't truly new songs, but b-sides and reworks of previous songs, but don't be put off! It's an amazing collection of songs to produce a sublime album.

The second disc are live performances, and are superb live and gives the song a unique quality unlike heard before, and my opinion the better cd to listen to.
