cool, loved the first album, (the famous one, most likely not their first),

Ill "buy" it over the w/e

it was their first...

Haven't got their latest yet. A copy leaked on the net has been reviewed by a big newspaper here, and it got 4/6. Don't trust that reviewer at all though, esp. in this genre.
 
This album improves with every listen.

''Alpha Male'' is a fantastic track, probably my pick at the moment.

yeah also a question if he listened to it often enough.. after the first listen I would have given it 4/6 but now, after a lot more listens it's a straight 6/6 :D
 
The album is excellent. Totally surprising. I'm glad they tried to do something new instead of doing the old trip hop thing; trying to make a copy of their first album.

You can get the album by searching for it on www.torrentspy.com, but buy it when it comes out!
 
I will "buy" the new Røyksopp album later today
 
'Poor Leno' is a great video, 'Remind Me' is better though :)

None of them as good as 'Eple' though. Fantastic video - but I'm not sure you totally get it without growing up in Norway during the 70's.

Was 'Remind me' that one with the 'airport security' type animations?
 
Yeah 'Eple' is very good too. 'Remind Me' is still my personal favourite, very clever.

It's the one with the inter-linking drawings which look like they've been taken from a science book.

lucky bastard.. give us a report over the weekend then
 
I like their new song.

Someone move this to Entertainment, I'm guessing this is before that forum was created.
 
Yes, it's a nice tune. Kind of reminds me of Eple. Haven't listened to their new album yet, is it as good as their old ones?
 
Haven't downloaded it yet but will be doing so.
 
The sopp are back attack.

BTW Blythy Oasis are the best band ever.
 
Yeah, the new Röyksopp album is not bad.. although the best track is probably "Were You Ever Wanted" which is a bonus track on the Japanese version.
