The sketch on the cover was drawn by Gotti BernhГ¶ft with a Bic Cristal ballpoint pen. The name has also been translated as 'An alright start.' After hearing the song, he said it was 'a good beginning' the name stuck. The album's title came from a friend hearing the first song they had written for the album, which would become the title track. Sigur RГіs' subsequent album, ( ), used Vonlenska exclusively for its vocals. The strings in 'StarГЎlfur' are palindromic they are the same forwards and backwards.ДЄll vocals are sung in Icelandic, except for those on 'Olsen Olsen' and the last section of the title track, which are sung in the gibberish language Vonlenska. The ten songs on the album include some self-reference: the introduction contains backmasked parts from the title track, and the last song, 'Avalon', consists of a different take of an instrumental passage from 'StarГЎlfur' slowed to around a quarter of its original speed.

ГЃgГ¦tis byrjun represented a substantial departure from the band's previous album Von, with that album's extended ambient soundscapes replaced by JГіnsi Birgisson's cello-bowed guitarwork and orchestration, using a double string octet amongst other chamber elements. The album was recorded between the summer of 1998 and the spring of 1999 with producer Ken Thomas. ГЃgГ¦tis byrjun ( Icelandic:, A good beginning) is the second studio album by Icelandic post-rock band Sigur RГіs, released on 12 June 1999.
