Has anyone heard this album yet, i know most of you think they're a cheesy european band but this really is a special album with some excellent tunes. If you're bored of the music scene right now, this album will put you back in the mood. It's different, fresh and every track is different.

In my opinion its the best album in the last 5 years.

im not a huge fan of these guys, but i did enjoy this cd to some corona's recently. definitely not 'club' music. more of a 'round the house atmosphere.

Agreed. Didn't do anything for me. Nothing moved me or made me want to take a second listen. A by the numbers chill out album in my opinion. Go get After Hours 2 if you want something special in this genre.

Re: Royksopp - The Understanding

I think this is a great album, a few brilliant tracks like 'only this moment' whata stunner

Album = 8.5/10

In some tracks they reminded me of Air and Piny Floyd. Useless cd.

Re: Royksopp - The Understanding

Coincidence, Im listening to the album right now.. Ive never been that big fan of this norwe duo but I did enjoy some of their previous releases, and this LP it has some great tracks, some like 'Only This Moment' & '49 Percent' for example, its a good album, very enjoyable, fresh music.

Re: Royksopp - The Understanding

I got it last night and gave it a couple of listenings. I must say that overall I liked it very much, nice production and new ideas, a good follow up to Melody AM. Royksopp?s virtue is to make easy listening music withouy becoming cheesy... give it a listen yourselves
