There is something about Royksopp's live performance that I find utterly hypnotic and the amount of energy that these 2 knob-twiddlers can inject into the crowd is phenomenal. I think they did Poor Leno and then carried the vocal on over Alpha Male and the room went utterly fucking spastic that night.

I caught 15 minutes of Futureshock supporting UW on the AHDO tour and can't say I'm that bothered about them. Royksopp are a more than safe bet though.

Hmmm yes Royksopp sure creates a lot of energy and gets you in this nice trancey vibe.
I'm thinking of going to both Sufjan Stevens and Futureshock now I'll have to see how much my money can buy.
