I've just purchased Royksopp, melody A.M., mainly because when I bought the massive attack album I got it for half-price. I am pleasantly surprised with it, although over half the tracks seem overly familiar. Just how many of their tracks have they licensed out to adverts, and, if so, is their album not just the new "play"? In which case it can get to fuck. |

i listened to it in my mates car and found it be good at first, but after about 3 tracks it was just the same over and over again. i found that all the songs were a bit too slow. i mean maybe its supposed to be a chillout album, but it didnt seem chilled enough to warrant no medium tempo/fast tracks imo. the new play? hmm not quite, but its on telly quite a lot, which is a bit annoying. why not ae,afx,etc. ch4 has lots of afx on its higher-brow documentaries....anyway, i digress. |

Listened to it once, found it to be pretty tedious, haven't listened to it since, will sell it soon. |

I was kind of pleasantly surprised as well. Although it would be different for me, I heard it when it was originally released about 2 years ago. The early tracks are nice enough, but the 2nd half of the last track "Come", is one of the best pieces of ambient I've ever heard. |

Oh you heard it two years ago, did you. Aren't you trendy. Do you want a medal or something? |
||||||||

|
|
im the trendy one aswell, not my thing anymore :) |

I was gonna ask someone if its worth buying,i'll not bother now. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
hey, get it, its nice... |
||||||||

Don't get me wrong, it's a very good album. I've just got reservations about artists whoring themselves by selling their songs to advertise fucking telephone companies or whatever. |
||||||||

its like listening to biosphere with beats which is good |

I've I was an artist, I'd put music all over ads. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no shit, im not going to turn down a bucket of cash for a commercial that will probably run for a week or two.. unless it was some corporate juggernaut like mcdonalds or something. |

...I`m with Bill...but pomme has a point. Money can make you free from ordinary dull jobs... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think it's weird that artists like Moby and Royksopp get shit for putting their music on ads...i mean, there's no other way (unless you're a pop band) that you'll get heard..or something. |
||||||||
|

Let us not forget RDJs commercial ventures, and we all probably respect him, right? |

Röyksopp's night is a masterpeice |
||||||||

My favourite advert tune at the mo is Gay Dad's 'Joy' in that car advert. To me, it exemplifies that feeling of free spiritedness and reckless abandon one gets when purchasing a new car. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ah, Gay Dad. Darlings of the NME. Journalist should never try and become pop stars. Their outrageously politically correct name never really caught on. Although it courted them some publicity, hardly any young men had the bottle to go up to the checkout and ask for the new Gay Dad album. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It was satisfying watching Gay Dad fall on their arses after so much hype. As for Royksopp... hmmm doesn't do it for me. Far too "nice" but it did make me want to buy a new mobile phone |

man, i love melody am, its beautiful for mornings, relaxing and chilling :) |

got the same thing with telepopmusic got old after the second play! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
to be honest it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, but still not enough to register an emotional response |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
terrible! that and the soace raiders album 'hot cakes' are the only cds ive ever sent back to the shop, the creme de la creme of crapness. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
jonesy, Well you purchase away. Lol. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Come on! Just coz it hasn't got loads of noise or crazy whack sounds doesn't mean it doesn't deserve an emmotional response! ...deary me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it is very emotional |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oi! I didn't like it that much ok! |
||||||||
|
|

You lot hate musicians like jean Michel jarre ot Tangerine Dream and stuff..but they are equally as good as bands like Autechre in a DIFFERENT way. |

any angelinos going to see royk at henry fonda theatre? don't know the whole album- what i've heard i like the disco end more than the trance side. it's not genius, but they may be fun to move around to live.... going to see koop this thursday. should lay up nice and easy at the el rey. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Remind me & Røyksopp's night out is lovely! Not the greatest album but its nice for chillin' |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i like almost half the album... shame eple didn't have a more solid beat they've also done a great remix of a track by kings of convenience |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
'i don't know what i can save you from' awesome remix, ya. i love all of melody a.m, except for 'she's so'. no good, imo. the rest is choice ^^ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, the whole "versus" kings of convenience remix album is cool :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Koop? Now THAT'S a good band. |

my girlfriend took me to the royksopp show last night... i hadn't heard the whole album, just pieces. anyway, it was the closest to a god-rock event i've ever seen for an 'electronic' performance. i don't know if it's because it was sponsored by the radio or what. they shouted thank you after every song. lots of prerecorded shit on there, even thought they were 'performing' live- with drum pads, a bass guitar, and keyboards. does anyone know if acts typically use a technique where something is played live and then is sampled real-time to keep looping? they may have been doing some of that. some good grooves, but i think it's to the point where if you're going to see an act you know well, the crowd's gonna be pretty dull, becuase they want to SEE something instead of hearing it. they do have this track though where they lower the pitch without slowing the speed (i know this is a common effect, but i'm not sure i've heard it used in such an obvious part of the melody- it's a repetitive sample). it has a strange effect on your ears because your instinct is that it's slowing down while in fact the beat stays constant. kind of like freefalling where your body thinks it's standing, but it's not...or some of those optical illusions with the parrallel lines that appear skewed anyway, that was my favorite part of the night. |

A mate brought this down at the weekend. Nice for a mellow mix when I had a hangover. |
