Agaetis byrjun (Icelandic for "A good beginning"; pronounced is the second album by the Icelandic post-rock band Sigur Ros, which was released in 1999. Agaetis byrjun was recorded between the summer of 1998 to the spring of 1999 with producer Ken Thomas, and became Sigur Ros's breakthrough album, both critically and commercially. Agaetis byrjun represented a substantial departure from the band's previous album Von, with that album's Cocteau Twins- esque dream pop and extended ambient soundscapes replaced by Jonsi Birgisson's now signature cello-bowed guitarwork and lush orchestration (using a double string octet amongst other orchestral elements).The album's title came from a friend hearing the first song they had written for the album; what would become the title track. After hearing the song, he said it was "a good beginning"; the name stuck. The name has also been translated as "An alright start."Sigur Ros won an Iceland Music Award and the 2001 Shortlist Music Prize for this album.
