4.0 out of 5 stars I loved Melody AM by Royksopp and was looking forward to. Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 8, 2014. Verified Purchase. I loved Melody AM by Royksopp and was looking forward to this. I must admit that it's not quite on a par with Melody AM but it comes a really close second. I enjoy listening to it anyway. The mood holds with 'Happy Up Here', the delightful, bouncy main line that harkens back to Melody AM's mood but with The Understanding's poppy chord structures. An immediate change of tone of 'The Girl and the Robot' brings a full vocal track with a backing of. Nov 22, 2019 This was Royksopp's first ever single. It was actually first made available in 1999, with only 500 copies made and distributed, before being included on Melody AM two years later. The song brilliantly contains instrumental and vocal samples from a 1960s cover version of the Burt Bacharach and Hal David song 'Blue on Blue', recorded by the Swedish group Gals & Pals.

Jul 22, 2017 Ever since I bought Melody Am in 2001 I've been hooked on this group. And most of their albums are all so good and the quality is very high. Lovely Norwegian synths which seemed to be a classic style of the time when they started - I love all that stuff from norway with that kind of sound e.g. Kings of convenience, Erlend Oye, Lindstrom, Todd Terje and more.

Earlier in the year The Avalanches forced us all to sit up straight and pay attention with their stunning debut album, Since I Left You. In one fell swoop it planted the flag of Australian electronica firmly in the dance music map. Six months down the line it is the turn of the Norwegians.
With the release of Melody AM, Royksopp cause us to draw sweet breath and marvel as our stereo is seduced by ablend of porno sax kitsch (check out 'She's So' for that hypnotic red light moment), dance floor stomp and studio wizardry. Seasonal Affective Disorder seems to have missed this dynamic duo as these guys have created one of the years' most beautiful surprises, kind oflike a ...er...'a nice cup of tea' first thing in the morning on your birthday.
Influenced by the likes of classical composers such as Eric Satie as well as porn flick maker Francis Lai, Melody AM combines funk with electronic soul, and sweeping film scores with dance floor tactics. Don't be surprised if the guitar, piano andtimbales of 'Poor Leno' induces a state of hip wiggling wonderment.
The more down tempo 'Eple' is propelled by a rolling, lazy break beatthat shimmers and shines with more class than a room full of rowdy children facing a blackboard. But, be warned this is an album that will worm its way in to your affections. Weighing in at less than 45 minutes (like Basement Jaxx's Rooty) this is a record full of great ideas, none of which are laboured and some of which are over before you've had the chance to fully appreciate them first time round.
It is for precisely this reason that Melody AM can be played over and over - most likely, you won't take the CD out of the stereo for weeks. Houston this is control, the Norwegians have landed.

Chilled-out or downbeat acts swept through the electronic scene during 2001 and 2002, prompting dozens of identikit compilations, all conjuring up images of exhausted clubbers returning home early in the morning and enjoying a cup of tea or a smoke after a hectic night out. And although downtempo electronica had always been largely album-based, most of these trackmasters didn't do much on the full-length front. The Norwegian duo Röyksopp, however, displayed a careful hand with the boards on their 2001 debut Melody A.M.. Röyksopp balances the haunted atmospheres of Boards of Canada with the more traditional 'songwriting' sensibility of downbeat specialists like Groove Armada or Koop. The opener is proof enough, with a chunky bassline undergirding the spooky, ethereal refrain from Bobby Vinton's 'Blue on Blue' recorded by some long-forgotten vocal chorus. There's much of beauty on Melody A.M., very textured and imaginatively produced to sound like few of their contemporaries; it's saying much to even admit that Röyksopp is occasionally the equal of such otherworldly acts as Boards of Canada or Goldfrapp. They seem a bit too indebted to the gauzy synths of '70s soundtracks, but there are a few good exceptions, like the distinctly '80s sense of artificial ethereality to the closer, '40 Years Back/Come.' Picking up the ball right about where Air dropped it after Moon Safari, Röyksopp produced one of the most intriguing downbeat albums of the year.
