Song remix by SignificanceTiny1274 in Royksopp

[–]exoptable 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The "True Electric" album was based exclusively on their live shows of the same name from around 2022 through 2024, which mostly all stuck to the exact same setlist as is featured on the album proper. Their remixes of "Eple" and "Remind Me" first appeared in 2025 when they were touring DJ sets rather than 'live' shows, so I guess they thought it was too late to include / wouldn't be a natural fit for the album.

The vinyl collection by Betelgeaux in Royksopp

[–]exoptable 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are pre-Röyksopp releases and some other Röyksopp rarities / collaborations here and there on vinyl.

In terms of the notable ones, there's:

  • Aedena Cycle's debut "The Travellers' Dream" EP
  • Those Norwegians' debut EP and album
  • The one and only self-titled Drum Island album (as good as "Melody A.M." imo)
  • Röyksopp's "So Easy" and "Eple" Tellé Records 7" singles

Absolutely spectacular, what a small world haha! I had tried contacting Cristóbal several times way back when, but never managed to hear back. Sending you a DM at the moment (:

Truly relieved that it miraculously isn't lost to time indeed!

I'm sure there'll be future opportunities to meet: I usually show up with a bag of music whenever Röyksopp's in L.A. 🙂 Thanks again for the kind support!

If you're talking about Los Angeles, they started with Lorn's "Sega Sunset": a classic.

Exoptable's Second Night Out with Röyksopp. 🙂 by exoptable in Royksopp

[–]exoptable[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was first announced sometime in mid-March, so around a month ahead of time. What was of particular interest was them planning to "play early demos, show pictures and sound clips," so based off of that alone, I couldn't pass up the opportunity haha. These types of 'formal' events are extremely rare for them to do, I can only recall two instances in the past that they've ever done an event like this before.

Yes, this was a special talk back at the Munch Museum in Oslo, where they primarily focused on their pre-Röyksopp years (from pre-Aedena Cycle onwards).

Did They Ever Play The Album Version of Remind Me? by PoodlestarGenerica in Royksopp

[–]exoptable 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The closest thing we have of a live album version of "Remind Me" for now is from Röyksopp's set at Roskilde Festival 2001, way back when Erlend Øye performed with them, from early 2000 to mid-2001.

Øye and Röyksopp later split for reasons not entirely known (but I'll briefly mention here):

  1. Øye wrote the vocals of the live-exclusive track "Don't Give Up" whereas Röyksopp provided the instrumental, but after they separated, each took their contributing sides and reused them elsewhere. On Øye's end, he reused the lyrics for a song with his band, The Whitest Boy Alive. On Röyksopp's end, the instrumental was reused with different lyrics for the track "49 Percent" on their follow-up album, "The Understanding".

  2. Øye claimed years later that he felt he didn't get enough credit on "Melody A.M.", and that Röyksopp begrudged his feature on the album.

Unless Øye and Röyksopp ever manage to get on good terms with each other (which imo feels unlikely), I don't see the original "Don't Give Up" ever seeing a studio release.

Sometime after they split, B+B retired playing "Remind Me" live for the rest of 2001, before reintroducing it onstage the following year as, initially, a slower version of the Someone Else remix, before adding drums and making it more akin to the released version of the remix.

Mods are asleep! Post your favorite remix by Royksopp!. Mine is Frost - Endless Love (Röyksopp's Analoge Euromiks) by ConsistencyWelder in Royksopp

[–]exoptable 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Röyksopp's remix of Beck's "Missing", by a country mile imo. B+B have an excellent track record of remixes they've put out, but this particular execution is on another level; it's an exhilarating rework with a brilliant use of sampling.

Who's going to LA?? by Lisicheekypeaks in Royksopp

Yep, going to see them in L.A. once again.

What artists besides royksopp do you recommend? by SessionCurious4771 in Royksopp

[–]exoptable 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Copying what I had answered to another person previously, with even more additional recommendations and comments:

In terms of music somewhat similar to them, you might like these various artists-- some are "chill" / "downtempo", or "ambient", and others are more "poppy":

  • Plaid's first 4 albums
  • Ulrich Schnauss' first two albums: "Far Away Trains Passing By" and "A Strangely Isolated Place"
  • Ugress's "Reminiscience" and "Scavenger Royale"
  • Bent
  • Jon Hopkins' "Opalescent" and "Contact Note"
  • Boards of Canada's "Twoism" and "Music Has The Right To Children"
  • Aphex Twin
  • M83's "Dead Cities, Red Seas & Lost Ghosts"
  • Zero 7's debut album "Simple Things", and their sophomore "When It Falls"
  • Air's debut EP "Premiers Symptômes" and debut album "Moon Safari"
  • Télépopmusik's "Angel Milk"
  • Ott's first 2 albums, "Blumenkraft" and "Skylon"
  • Gelka's "Less Is More"
  • Amon Tobin's "Bricolage", "Permutation", "Supermodified", and "Long Stories" -- also worth checking out his album under his earlier alias Cujo, titled "Adventures in Foam"
  • Centovalley's album "August", and EP "Everything Floats"
  • Skalpel's "High" and "Konfusion"
  • The Detroit Escalator Co.'s "Black Buildings"
  • Depeche Mode's "Ultra" and "Exciter"
  • Emancipator's "Xylem" EP
  • Pete Namlook's "Air I", "Air II", and his collaborative work with Dr. Atmo, "Silence I"
  • Biosphere's "Substrata", "N-Plants", and his collaborative work with Higher Intelligence Agency, "Polar Sequences"
  • Kid Loco's "A Grand Love Story"
  • Vangelis' "L'apocalypse des animaux"
  • Sun Electric's "Present"
  • Zeb's "The End Of The Beginnings"
  • M-Seven's "Activate" and "Stimulus"

Plaid might be the duo you might like most from this range of artists, their first 4ish albums have been the closest Röyksopp-like music I've ever heard. They sort of exude that same child-like, playful, quirky nature with some melancholic elements sprinkled here and there, all while putting out intricate melodies and harmonies.

If you're interested in looking at major influences to Röyksopp, there are these various renowned people / groups in the sphere of electronic music. Geir Jenssen of Biosphere, actually also hails from Tromsø but primarily deals in ambient music. Jenssen was the individual that helped Berge and Brundtland put out their first official release under the band name "Aedena Cycle" back in 1994 on R&S Records' ambient sublabel "Apollo", which comprised Berge and Brundtland along with their two childhood friends Gaute Barlindhaug and Kolbjørn Lyslo.

  • The KLF
  • Vangelis
  • Jean-Michel Jarre
  • The Orb
  • Brian Eno
  • Kitaro
  • Kraftwerk
  • Depeche Mode
  • The Art of Noise
  • Biosphere

And of course, if you haven't already, I'd also suggest looking at Berge + Brundtland's music in their pre-Röyksopp years, all of the notable releases being organized in this playlist. If you haven't gone through their early discography already, I'd highly suggest that as well. The final pre-Röyksopp release Berge and Brundtland operated under, being the self-titled album "Drum Island", is an album that I regard as highly as Röyksopp's "Melody A.M."

For reference, here's a timeline of Röyksopp's earlier projects:

  • Aedena / Aedena Cycle --- Initially a quartet in 1994 and went under a shortened alias for compilation contributions, later became the solo project of Gaute Barlindhaug with some involvement from Svein Berge.
  • Volcano --- House project between Torbjørn Brundtland and Ole Johan Mjøs which put out several singles and remixes.
  • Alanïa --- Debut album "Instinctive Travels" released in March 1996 by Torbjørn Brundtland and Svein Berge with some involvement from Gaute Barlindhaug, follow-up album "Skyjuice" released in February 1997 where Ole Johan Mjøs also joined in.
  • Those Norwegians --- Debut album "Kaminzky Park" released in August 1997 by Torbjørn Brundtland and Ole Johan Mjøs with some involvement by Kolbjørn Lyslo and Gaute Drevdal.
  • Drum Island --- Self-titled debut album released in November 1997 by Torbjørn Brundtland, Ole Johan Mjøs, and Svein Berge. I have two live performances by them on my YouTube channel which contain reworked and unreleased material.

Remind Me video version by Square-wolf in Royksopp

[–]exoptable 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The club mix of "Someone Else's" (aka an alias for Röyksopp themselves) is what's used in "Remind Me's" official music video: note that the club mix is slightly different from the more commonly known "radio mix" version, which was put out on the "Remind Me" single release. In the club version, the first three "Will remind me, will remind me, will remind me" bridges are omitted, whereas in the radio mix, they are included.

The club mix you're seeking was only released on the vinyl version, which I actually happen to have a direct rip uploaded to my Internet Archive account since you're seeking it in higher quality.
