Royksopp: Junior

[Bargo]

I seem to have the same problem with Royksopp that I do with Chemical Brothers, in that I find their work that doesn't feature guest vocalists vastly more interesting than the stuff that does. If both bands just stuck to instrumentals I'd like them a lot more.. and that's pretty much the same thoughts I had when listening to this for the first time.

Well, all the vocalists are heavy hitters - Robyn, Lykke Li and thingy from The Knive.

i agree with bargo, even with spank rock the chem bros get on my nerves when they collaborate. singers are like crutches to them.

[Eikman]

don't like it.

suprisingly, karin dreijer andersson (of the knife fame) provides one of the better performances. and i used to hate the knife.

agreed in part about the chems - apart from 'let forever be'...

as for røyksopp - 'what else is there?' would be nothing without the vocal, similarly 'this must be it'... ...then again; that's the same vocalist, so maybe they should take to being her guest band...?!

listened to it half a dozen times so far and i really dig it. of course, i like a number of tracks by the guest female vocalists, so perhaps i am biased from the start.

'this must be it' is my personal favorite at the moment. certainly worth the individual track download if you don't want to commit to the whole album.
