One of the hallmarks of a great band is the consummate ease with which that group constantly strives to adapt, to evolve, to innovate; thereby ensuring that they never repeat themselves or do something tepid or commonplace. After the inordinate success of their debut album, the electronic shot in the arm that was Melody A.M., Royksopp could have easily rested on their laurels, be content to shine their halos and just knocked out Melody A.M. part deux. Why just look at the riches that unfolded in the wake of that album’s release in 2001: 1,000,000 copies sold worldwide, tours with Basement Jaxx and Moby, not to mention headline tours of their own and a Brit nomination for Best International Group. And it dosen’t stop there! Melody A.M. won Best Video for “Remind Me” at the European MTV awards and was named one of the Best Records of the Year by Rolling Stone, GQ, and UK magazines Jockey Slut, DJ, 7 and Ministry; Best Electronica Album by Entertainment Weekly; and “Band To Watch” by SPIN.
