Röyksopp

Watch the visualizer on their site to see more than two hours of this character meditating on a boulder in a misty valley. It’s amazing, that there is no flinching, coughing, or restroom visits, really.

Long a fan of the now-psychadelic meanderings of Nørge band Röyksopp, their latest two hour soundscape extravaganza is an exploration into mood, memory, sci-fi, story-telling, and more, in a glorious and expansive chewable capsule: Nebulous Nights.

From the site:

Analogue, raw and immersive. This is «Nebulous Nights» – an ambient re-interpretation of our album «Profound Mysteries». Recorded live, this after-hours session is filled to the brim with nods and tributes, as well as references back to different parts of Röyksopp lore. All neatly wrapped in an esoteric blanket – coated with analogue warmth, and many a chunky nugget for the keen and avid listener to find.

Outside the pure listening pleasure, «Nebulous Nights» seeks to underline the importance of critical thinking and curious pondering. To foster a mindset that allows for exploration and personal growth, by not limiting one’s imagination and inquiry to a particular worldview or framework.

Encapsulated beautifully in this quote by Albert Einstein: The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all art and science. To whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead; his eyes are closed.

We recommend headphones for full immersion.
Best,
Señors B + B

Go watch the two hour visualizer video on their site, credits go to Greedy Goon for the art.

Reminds me of the live ISDN album by The Future Sound of London that is a perhaps profound realization that some bands perform just as well if not better live than for their studio work.

Poor Leno seems like such a long time ago but that album is up there at the top of fantastic electronica from around the turn of the century.

Electronica, trip-hop, downtempo, dub, etc. Lovely stuff.
