Understanding Röyksopp
The new Röyksopp album came out earlier this year. A good one, again.
Admittedly, the stakes were high after Melody AM three years ago. Back then, they were thought to be innovative and chic. It's music that reminds me very much of the coolness of our artsy techie MLE back then.
Röyksopp's new album The Understanding is solid. It's not terribly innovative compared to what they did with their first one. Instrumental songs like Alpha Male are very much like what Jean-Michael Jarre did twenty years ago. But what was great back then doesn't have to be bad today (just boring).
Their title track Triumphant is on hot rotation at KCRW right now, and it sure deserves that spot. Someone like me grooves as appropriate.
Get The Understanding. Röyksopp is cool, even though we all have learned to spell their name without googling.
