Melody A.M.

This is Röyksopp’s first album released under that name. If you know some background info on the members you should be familiar with names like ‘Drum Island’, ‘Aedena Cycle’ and ‘Alanïa’. This is by far my favourite album from them so far. Why? Because this album can be used effectively in a variety of situations … Continue reading

Sparks

Another single from the Norwegian crew. Their first album Melody A.M. is in my opinion still their best with a good balance of uptempo, more dancier songs and some very chilled and laid-back downtempo/ambient songs. This EP can in many ways give you a hint of what that album is like. Artist: Röyksopp Genre: Downtempo, … Continue reading

remind, remind, remind, remind me

And everywhere I go, there is always something to remind me… Another great track coming by Röyksopp from Norway featuring a riff that sends a shiver down your back, a piano solo that is out of this world and an uncredited sample by Jimmy McGriff’s The Worm. The radio edit by Someone Else keeps the … Continue reading

Eple

This song is not usually heard on the radio but more often in the background of montages and ad’s. Bjørn Torske’s remix brings is an even lighter tune than the original era while Röyksopp’s Night Out is a groovy seven-and-a-half-minute track. Eple Album Artist: Röyksopp Release: 2001 Genre: Ambient Electronica Tracklist: 1. Eple 2. Eple … Continue reading
