Here are two releases from the kings of Iceland's post punk scene. Þeyr featured future members of Kukl and Sugarcubes, and they were also famous for working with Jaz Coleman of Killing Joke when he retreated to Iceland to avoid the coming Armageddon. Turns out Jaz was a bit off the mark, there. Killing Joke's influence is all over these releases, especially the very rare "Fourth Reich" 12". Most of their material has never been reissued, as the master tapes were destroyed, but not by Armageddon (probably). There was a CD of some of their material released in 2001, but that was the only time any sot of reissue was produced (and possibly not officially, either). Anyway, this is classic, and if you don't have it yet, download it now...

Thank you for your effort. However, the tracks on the As Above download are not those, but of "Mjötviður Mær".
The covers are very similar.
Mjötviður was an Iceland only release, while As Above was meant as a compilation or a best of.
If you have As Above I would be thrilled, even more if you have the "Lunaire" single, as these are the only ones missing from my collection of my all time favorite band.
