"This album is like moby's play but without the gospel choirs. This is one of the best chill-out albums around. Most of the instruments used by Royksopp you will have heard before but somehow all the songs on here sound truly unique. The best track on here is Higher Place, a stunning track with guitars, and laid back beats (where is this higher place, I want to go there!!!). Royksopp's night out sounds like something from a 60s movie. In space is about as chilled out as you can get with its warm synth and relaxing harp. So easy is a wierd track which keeps moving away from the 'aahing' which people in the UK will have heard on a particular TV commercial. 40 years back/come is a track which I love but I still don't know to make of the atmosphere. Remind me is a laid back song sung the brilliant Erland Oye (Buy the remixes). Sparks is another stunningly warm sounding track. Does the vocalist on this track sing for Telepopmusik? Poor Leno is a cool piece of house also sung by Erland Oye, you can either dance to it or chill to it.
If you like the sound of this don't waste time downloading it off the net, buy it right now cos you won't regret it. This has to be the best dance album of the year."

Electronic and relaxation-surprising

"The first track I heard was Eple, which was used for a campaign advertising Tiscali(France). First, I thought it was the usual stupid advertising electronic music, but after a few times viewing the advert I started to fall in love with the music. The first tracks make the cd look promising (So Easy and Eple consecutively) , but don't worry, the rest is the same quality, especially "Röyksopp's Night Out" and "She's So".
Melody A.M is more likely to be listened to in the evening.
A real success in Europe, by the way."

Wondeful relax music!

"The Norwegian dance Duo Röyksopp are defenitely among the most interesting groups lately,we haven't heard very much dance music from norway before but this album is really remarkable. It's soft dance music, you can relax too, the songs are meliodic and wonderdul, a few with chorus and some instrumental. "Melody A.M" is thier debut album actually, they are that kind of group that will sell more albums then single's so if you like them go for the album cause it's good. "Poor Leno" is one of a few songs with lyrics, it's a slow, seductive and a beautiful sound aswell. Then we have the likes of "Remind me" and "Eple" which i think i've heard somewhere else, but never on single. "A higher place" is good too and "She's so", There are diffrent versions of this album i think, some includes a few remixes of the hit singles, however it's not a very big loss without them either. Some like Moby, but this is defenitely better and it's not only suited for dance music fans, go for it!"
