Royksopp

royksopp是來自挪威的雙人組合，是目前炙手可熱且深獲好評的電音團體之一。雖然來自冰冷的北國，但royksop p玩出的音樂，卻是溫暖舒服的，毫無刺骨的感覺，卻讓人體會到睡在絲綢棉被之中的松軟、光滑和懶洋洋。 royksopp由挪威tromso地方的torbjorn brundtland和svein berge組成,他們早在上個世紀90年代就開始活動，其間間斷過一些時候，1998年再度組合，此后他們簽約big beat品牌wall of sounds，在發表了單曲“eple”后于2001年底出版了這張他們的第一張專輯。 從音樂上看，royksopp的音樂，融合了ambient、breakbeat和trip-hop，但他們的音樂并沒有單純三 者結合，所以你感受不到傳統ambient的冗長、breakbeat的碎雜和trip-hop的詭異，卻聽到了一首首標準歌曲 長度、聽覺上十分愜意具催眠效果的音樂。 代表作：《Poor Leno》《Only this moment》 專輯：《Melody A.M.》、《The Understanding》、《What Else Is There》 Norwegian duo Röyksopp compensated for the cold climes of their native Tromsø by making some of the warmest, most inviting downbeat electronica of the new millennium, exemplified by early singles like Eple and Poor Leno. The pair, Torbjørn Brundtland and Svein Berge, both grew up in Tromsø and began recording in the early '90s. Local-made-good Geir Jenssen (aka Biosphere) provided tutelage and almost convinced the duo to record for R&S sublabel Apollo. After a few years apart, Brundtland and Berge met up again in Bergen and re-formed Röyksopp in 1998. The group released a few singles on Tellé, then signed up to the big beat label Wall of Sound. The Röyksopp debut was 2001's Eple single; both "Eple" and another track ("Poor Leno") earned slots on over a dozen chillout compilations that year or the next. Their first full-length, Melody A.M., appeared in late 2001. After spending a few years performing live and remixing artists including Beck and Annie, Röyksopp returned with new material in 2005: the single Only This Moment heralded the summer release of the duo's second album, The Understanding, which featured more traditionally structured songs than their earlier work. The live EP Röyksopp's Night Out appeared a year later.
