Nælur, which in Icelandic means Safety Pins, was a compilation released in 1998 to the Icelandic market through Spor, a local record label.
Nælur revives the work of several Icelandic artists from the early to mid eighties when Iceland was being influenced by the Post punk and New Wave music.

This compilation features Utangarðsmenn, a group led by singer Bubbi Morthens playing “Hiroshima”, one of their hits taken from Geislavirkir (1980) and “Where are the Bodies”. Egó, with “Stórir Strákar fá Raflost”, was another group featuring Bubbi and he also appears here with one of his solo songs: “Jón Pönkari”. There is also the presence of Þeyr, one of the most important groups at that time with three tracks: the title song of Life Transmission (1981), "Rúdolf" from Rokk í Reykjavík (1982) and "En..." from Þagað í Hel (1980).
Another important band included is Tappi Tíkarrass, a post-punk/pop group led by singer Björk, and they appear with two tracks: “Iltí Ebni” and "London", both taken from their EP Bítið Fast í Vítið (1982).

Other important bands are Vonbrigði, and Fræbbblarnir among others.
