I'd say 'Agaetis Byrjun' is their best LP overall but the first 4 songs on '()' are as good as they ever got. Track 4 on there is one of the most beautiful pieces of music I've ever heard. Real game of 2 halves though that LP as the final 4 songs I find pretty dull, just never been able to get into them. 'Takk' is pretty great, has a bit of a weak mid-section but the first 2 tracks were quite tough to follow. 'Med Sud....' I quite like, liked the new style with 'Gobbledi****', it's a mixed bag record but there's a lot to admire. Never bothered with 'Von', not heard much praise for it, always too many highly-regarded LPs to pick up.
Fabulous, unique band everyone should hear.
