LA RECENSIONE
Ah, here it is!
In fact, it seemed strange that two young Norwegians were so passionate about Simon & Garfunkel that they made it their life's purpose.
The two also love electronic music; they covered "Drop" by Cornelius, Erlend is working on a solo project all about electronics [Note: the project has been completed; his album Unrest has been released], along with various collaborations and appearances on Röyksopp's albums...
And then there's this album, a collection of tracks from "Quiet Is The New Loud" remixed, revamped, and "collaborated" by and with various artists and friends.
Above all, one track, the first, is practically worth the entire album: the Röyksopp version of "I Don't Know What I Can Save You From".
Other featured artists: Four Tet, Riton, Erot, Andy Votel, Evil Tordivel, David Whitaker, Alfie, Ladytron, Bamboo Soul.
Not bad, not bad.
