On a single day,I played Svefn-g-englar[Sleepwalkers] around 50 to 60 times back to back,means continuous around 8 hours,believe me if think it’s about entertainment than check yourself it’s about feeling your soul through this song.Those best moments are separable from words.You will be moved, and the greatest part is you won’t understand a single word that is being sung .

Ágætis Byrjun means “A good beginning” in Icelandic.It is the second album by the Icelandic post-rock band Sigur Rós, which was released in 1999.
They partial used Icelandic and Hopelandic(it isn’t technically a language to be understood.) in lyrics and music is so unique it feels like they come from Pluto or something beyond our reach.
In December 2009, Rolling Stone ranked Ágætis byrjun the 29th best album of the 2000s.
No one expected an album by an unknown band of four shy icelandic men in their early twenties, singing in icelandic, would become the worldwide music phenomenon it became. the record label projected the album to sell 1500 copies – it has to date sold several million copies.

No Line On The Horizon – U2
No Line On The Horizon – U2
The Irish band’s 12th studio album was originally slated to come out before the end of last year, but the band pulled it back to mold and twist it some more, after the original material recorded with Rick Rubin was shelved.
They’ve been rocking since the early 80s, when it comes to stadium-filling anthems, there’s no challenger to U2’s crown.
It’s been a while since their last release, 2004’s “How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb”, but it’s been worth the wait.
It starts out blustery and familiar, before gradually revealing an unexpected and almost lovable sense of vulnerability.
“Magnificent” with its drum crescendos, trademark guitar riffs and a soaring Bono vocal is easily the best thing here and is crying out to be released as a single.
My favorite tracks:
“Magnificent” might place in their top 10 songs.
“Being Born” Interesting direction in sound that I hope they explore more in the next album.
“Unknown Caller “- Vintage U2 take on things.
“I’ll Go Crazy” – Yeah, it’s got to be the first song played at the live show.
“Moment of Surrender” – Might live long as one of their best.
Definitely must listen!!!
“TRY!” – John Mayer Trio
“TRY!” – John Mayer Trio
Longtime listeners have seen it coming: it was only a matter of time before John Mayer dropped the pop star pretense and proved he could really bring it.
Chalk it up to one too many Dave Matthews comparisons, or the cupcake-sweet residue stuck to his image after the success of “Your Body Is a Wonderland”–but something convinced Mayer it was time to take him game to the next level and shed this pop skin. With help from studio pros or “studio gods” Steve Jordan and Pino Palladino, he succeeds on Try.
If the muscled-up covers of Jimi Hendrix’s “Wait Until Tomorrow” and Ray Charles’ “I Got a Woman” don’t scream “no more Mr. Nice Guy” loud enough, the brawn of blues-rock opener “Who Do You Think I Was” does for sure. Mixed in with the Stevie Ray Vaughan and Eric Clapton-esque stuff are a few mellow numbers–”Daughters,” most notably, returns from Heavier Things alongside “Something’s Missing”–but even those songs seem hopped up on rock-God hormones.
This newfound sizzle can’t fix everything; that segment of the music-buying public that would accuse the singer of having a voice like “a whispering midget” (to quote a customer review of Mayer’s work) won’t want to add this disc to their collection. The good news for Mayer, though, is that anybody with an ear for genuine rock ‘n’ roll chops will.
This will blow your mind !!!

The strings in starálfur are palindromic, they are the same forwards and backwards.
“ég gaf ykkur von sem varð að vonbrigðum.. þetta er ágætis byrjun “means “I gave you hope that became a disappointment.. this is a good beginning.”
I am sure it will be Ágætis Byrjun.
