Hell yes, this album is damn worth the hype and then some. My favorite
album to come out in years... (since Chiastic Slide, i guess hmm..)

Not sure about the 12"s but i've a burnt copy of their first album Von and
the remix cd that followed. Von is very different than Agaetis, with
maybe 4 tracks with discernable vocals. Many of the tracks, including the
10 minute first track titled after the band, are textural ambient and
atmospheric pieces, with no "melodies" contained within. Along with these
are more traditional "bandesque" songs with drums, guitar and vocals. The
album as a whole flows very well, and has some amazing songs to boot. Try
and get a hold of it if you can. I'm sure it's hard as hell to find
outside of Iceland, since i don't think it's distributed in either Europe
or the US (just Iceland).
The remix album is kinda lackluster, with some decent tracks and some
poopy ones.
