    Anyone with even a passing interest in Royksopp--whose ears have been pricked by an Eple or Poor Leno--could do far worse than immerse themselves in one of 2009's greatest releases.

    As you can tell, those who are fans of dreamy electronic music with dreamy Scandinavian female vocalists can get ready to be thrilled by the sheer talent on hand for this record. [Spring 2009, p.79]

    It's a shame, then, that instead of a sequence of whip-smart sonatas ruminating on the Scandinavian psyche, all that dribbles out is a pedestrian stream of the same old bubble-bath beats.

    Listen to this one a few times and you will find that this album is pure genius. Nothing else in the genre even comes close.

    Pure electronic/pop cat-nip. Advances electronic music forward unlike anything since Bjork's 'Vespertine'.

    Album is ok nowhere near the fun first one... liked the single and collaborations with female vocalists but otherwise I dont really get why this album is getting such positive reviews... disposable electro pop and not very good that either in the meantime there is better stuff out there.… Expand
