DeBaser hosts a dozen-plus reviews of Norwegian electronic duo Röyksopp, spanning studio albums, singles, live recordings and a music video. Reviews praise Melody A.M. and The Understanding for melodies and production, celebrate energetic live shows, and give mixed reactions to later, more retro-leaning work like Senior. Collaborations and guest vocalists (Erlend Øye, Robyn, Karin Dreijer, Kate Havnevik, Anneli Drecker) appear across the coverage.

For:Fans of electronic music, synthpop, downtempo; readers of album and live reviews.

 They changed the register: it goes from the "north" of the aurora borealis of Melody A.M., to the summer of The Understanding: sun, salt, sex, and stars in the sky above a peaceful sea at night.

 Senior merely strings together a series of monotonous and repetitive - as well as long - instrumental excursions based on sequencers, white noise, and drum machines closer to the Bontempi organ than to the Roland 808.
