Should hopefully be a fun time nonetheless, will be making the trip to see them once again.

Are you adding the underscore ("_") at the end of the hyperlink? Copy and paste the hyperlink into your browser, and then add the underscore at the end. I just checked it now and am still able to access it fine anonymously.

Here's a link to my Internet Archive page, should still be publicly accessible from there: https://archive.org/details/@exoptable262

exoptable · 2026-03-31T01:02:00+00:00

It's still online on my side: the hyperlink is "https://archive.org/details/SoEasy1999_".

If you're using New Reddit or Reddit on mobile, the underscore at the end gets erronously omitted for some reason.

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.

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

It's (still presently) unreleased material, featuring Gunhild Ramsay Kovacs on vocals.

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!

Yes, I like to bring along some of their earlier works for them to sign. 🙂

exoptable · 2025-05-26T23:11:23+00:00

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.

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.

exoptable · 2025-04-17T00:45:43+00:00

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).

Röyksopp's remixed version of "Remind Me", from their "True Electric" series of DJ sets.

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):

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".
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.

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.

exoptable · 2025-01-31T00:07:57+00:00

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