Röyksopp "Melody A.M." (2001)
In my mind I had Röyksopp and Sigur Ros as being pretty much the same
kind of music... not sure why, maybe it was my mind grouping Western
European early 21st century artists together.
Röyksopp is definitely not in that same kind of ambient territory. It's in the electronic genre but with a lot more prominent melody.
The first track "So Easy" sounds a bit like Phoenix Foundation's spacier
moments, or like a Blur melody with Danger Mouse production. Pretty
sure I've heard track two "Eple"
before, it sounds familiar to me with its high blippy synth melody.
There' s a bit of funk in "Röyksopp's Night Out". Whereas "In Space" is an
almost Jean-Michel Jarre-esque synth vibe.
The music is largely instrumental, with vocals used more as an
instrument than a focus. The main exceptions being the laidback
"Sparks" and "Remind me", and the peppier "Poor Lenno".
