THE REVIEW

For my very first review, I chose Röyksopp, the favorite band of my big friend sexyteen... he really is great.. he listens to this good music.

Among the notable titles are the first and the last, unique in their genre.. the singer's voice is magnificent, and their sound is truly something exceptional, it's an album to listen to. I highly recommend buying it, it's the most emblematic electronic group after Depeche Mode, the Swedish group is a really well-assorted group...

congratulations to this CD and to all those who listen to Röyksopp

 If all commercial music were like this, I'd be fixed on Radio Deejay even when washing the cat.

 'Only This Moment' is radio power at 100,000 Watts, musical persuasion capable of entrancing even a conservatory student.


By GK

 This Norwegian duo has created a masterpiece, and it is right to expect a sequel!

 I am in ecstasy. I curse myself for even remotely daring to think it could be a flat, useless, second-rate album.

 "The Understanding does not bore and manages to deliver truly great emotions even to those who aren’t exactly fans of the genre like me."

 "Sweet words of love whispered over a breathtaking keyboard base; later, the piano will continue to take center stage."


By Toni Bancae

 "One of the major strengths that make this album fantastic from many points of view is the variety between one track and another highlighted by frequent sound changes."

 "The Understanding remains a complete album from a sonic point of view where Röyksopp demonstrate they are one of the best groups in the world of electronic music in recent years."


By Darius

 Worthy successor of Melody A.M. and a cunning agreement between experimentation, avant-garde and “pop”.

 The Understanding still sounds today, in a virtually DJ-laden sound scenario, an “underground” disc, a small underground treasure box crafted in an environment that doesn’t seem much inclined to hits but rather to the good production of good producers.
