Editorial Reviews :
Arguably one of the best releases of 2002 and unquestionably one of the most original, the filmic, dreamy and mostly instrumental Melody A.M.--from Norwegian duo Svein Berge and Torbjorn Brundtland, or Röyksopp--finds uncommon beauty in the study of contrasts. At once frosty and lush, austere and joyful, ambient and wildly detailed, Melody A.M. is equal parts classical, electronica and film score, but with way better optics. Yes, optics--or at least that's how it feels. Opening track 'So Easy' lulls with a gently whispered chant casually draped over what sounds like plucked harp strings while technicolor gurgles and bloopy keyboards sputter in the background. The sweeping, beatbox-damaged 'Eple'--its cascading piano notes exploding into tiny white flashes of light--is as panoramic as the Nordic vistas that inspired it. Cinematic strings flood through 'In Space,' creating a real sense of velocity. Like Philip Glass or Boards of Canada, Röyksopp are minimalists who wring every bit of juice out each note without ever losing sight of the emotional core. Melody A.M. is music as painting, in watercolor, and destined to be a sleeper classic for the ages.
Buyer Reviews :
After living in the UK for over a year, I'm amazed at how many artists are passed over in the US and you never here of them. Our radio sacrifies so much good foreign music to bombard us with horrible boy bands who can't even write their own stuff and are just eye candy to teen girls!
Royksopp is great Euro-music. I'm not a huge club kid or anything like that and Royksopp still appeals to me as either chillout or dance music. A definite buy if you like something different, yet good.
