Begun in 1796 and finished by April of 1797, and classified as being from Beethoven's "early period", yet gives an excellent demonstration of Beethoven's maturation and evolution into what would be called "the Romantic era". |

dauðalagið (the death song) |
Post-rock, Experimental |
Fat Cat/MCA, 2002 |
pronounces as "dauth-a-lag-ith" (my best estimate). There are no true lyrics - Jonsi sings in what we might label a sort of scat, Icelandic style. The way they put it, they want to leave things blank so that the listener can bring their own experiences to the work, which is why they titled this album "( )", and left the liner notes blank. On their website, they actually invite the listener to do their own liner notes (they even included a booklet with 10 blank pages). | |
popplagið (the pop song) |
given the above, we can figure that this pronounces as "pop-la-gith" | ||||
