Thanks for your suggestions, now it’s my turn to broaden my sonic horizons! Hope to see you here again. (You’ll probably enjoy browsing that collection too.) I will definitely check your suggestions out, Def Leppard is one of the greats for good reason, and we actually included Tales From Topographic Oceans by Yes on our Best Headphone Albums list. (Another great thing about music is the level of subjectivity and most of us have our own specific criteria for what we love listening to.) I’m of the opinion that although production quality plays an important role, it doesn’t always make or break the entire body of work. Recording and production quality were definitely considered when we made our selections for some of the best audiophile albums. You’re right about that, not considering those factors would’ve been a big mistake. Great choices, Bon Iver self titled, Mellon Collie and Lateralus are a few of my personal favorites – I’m sure you’ll enjoy them too.

Feel free to write any requests for slowed + reverbed songs in the comments section below. The film footage used in this video is found archival footage that is available in the public domain. Thanks Sukumar, I’m glad you were able to find a few albums to add to your collection! A slowed down and reverbed version of Sigur Ross Svefn-g-englar from their 1999 album, Ágætis byrjun. These albums were marked by awesome engineering finesse. Personally, if I’m asked to add some more albums that can make the cut in the audiophile’s best albums list, I will surely have A Night at the Opera by Queen (1975), Breakfast in America by Supertramp (1979), Drama by Yes (1980), Pyromania by Def Leppard (1983) and Crest of a Knave by Jethro Tull (1987). Music is a highly personal experience and when one brings up a “the best” list, one’s personal tastes and preferences are bound to be found there. Which means an album’s recording and its overall production quality must have been important criteria for it to make your list. The list is supposed to be an audiophile’s must-have albums. I’m happy that Smashing Pumpkins’ Mellon Collie album made it to the list. I’ll be trying out John Cale’s HoboSapiens, Bon Iver’s Bon Iver and Tool’s Lateralus especially. I loved it and there are many albums there that I would surely be adding to my collection. Boxsets also include a book filled with information about the album and band.Ī bumper reissue of Sigur Ros’ Ágætis byrjun is no less than this seminal record deserves.You’ve got a list of albums that are varied in style and spanning different generations. A nice enough band if you have them on in the background, but not entertaining or enjoyable enough to really sit down and listen to. Before I heard this, I thought they were nice but ultimately quite dull.
Live versions from a range of concerts throughout the late 90’s and early 00’s, demos and alternate mixes all appear here to shed further light on how the Sigur Ros sound developed around this time. Agaetis byrjun is the reason I like Sigur Ros. To celebrate Ágætis byrjun’s twentieth birthday the album has been reissued with a veritable treasure-trove of bonus material. In short, the contemporary musical landscape would be rather different if it wasn’t for Ágætis byrjun. To modern ears one can see how this record provides a crucial link between fellow Icelandic acts like Múm and Björk and international artists such as Radiohead and Arcade Fire. Combining traditional rock instrumentation with chamber music, ambient techniques, dream-pop and contemporary classical composition, Sigur Ros create a style of music that is at once immediate and ethereal. While many bands have taken from (or wholesale ripped off) the sonic aesthetic of this album, the unique blend of sounds that the Icelandic group pioneered here has rarely been bettered since.

After the modest success of 1997’s Von, Ágætis byrjun brought the band a global audience and ended up in several ‘Album Of The Year’ lists - and a few ‘Album Of The Decade’ ones, too.

While Sigur Ros’ second LP Ágætis byrjun (A Good Beginning) was released in 1999, the record has rightly gone on to be regarded as one of the more important indie releases of the 21st Century.
