Anneli
have worked with Torbjørn several times before.
Actually he's a part-time member of Bel Canto!
You can hear his work on both Rush and
their latest track "Dissapear Club 5",
included on the Retrospect compilation. The duo
did also put their touch on "Trinitron" at Anneli's
solo-album Tundra, and maybe you've heard
Röyksopp's smashing remix of Anneli's "Sexy Love"
as well?
Anyway, Anneli have collaborated
with the guys on the track "Sparks", the third
track on Melody A.M. - a track described
as "an afterlife of eternal sex with angels on
valium"(!) at the Röyksopp website.
Like
many of Norway's pioneering musicians, the pair
grew up in Tromso, bathed in the Northern Lights.
They borrowed a sampler in 1993, and after a flirtation
with ambient label Apollo, they got reunited in
Bergen and revived in Röyksopp in 1998.
Svein and Torbjørn describes
the Röyksopp sound like this: "It's all a matter
of combining the harmonies of film music and classical
composers like Erik Satie with melodies like those
of Francis Lai and incorporating the analogue
warmth of the seventies, the fatness of the eighties
over some thorough beat programming."
