Royksopp - Profound Mysteries II - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

7 years after their last studio album, The Inevitable End, and their farewell to the traditional album , Röyksopp unveils Profound Mysteries, an expanded creative universe and a prodigious conceptual project. In 2022, they embark on a new chapter in their career and musical oeuvre, exploring technology and nature in a similar fashion as in their youthful days in Tromsø, but with added profundity. InchAs human beings, what we don't know vastly overshadows what we do know. As teenagers, we would discuss our own fascination and preoccupation with the infinite and the impossible - the most profound mysteries of life.Inch After stepping on a lot of puffball mushrooms out in the forest and emerging from an organic cloud of dust, they deliver their most extensive work to date and reveal once more why only Röyksopp is Röyksopp. Album Tracks 1.

Electronic pop trailblazers, Röyksopp, deliver the third and final part to their expansive Profound Mysteries project, Profound Mysteries III. Berge and Brundtland describe Profound Mysteries as the biggest undertaking of Röyksopp's career. It both encapsulates the unique sound they've spent decades honing, and expands on it. It's a bold look to the future, and an homage to the artists, genres, and musical movements that first inspired them. It's a project they've spent their whole lives making (the oldest ideas date back to the early days of Röyksopp, literally using MIDI data first composed by the band when they were teenagers in the 1990s), and it's brand new. Working with a cast of global visual and musical collaborators they create an incredible 30 tracks, 30 artefacts, 30 visualizers and 30 films in 2022. The final installment brings together some of the most talented music artists in the world including Alison Goldfrapp, Pixx, Susanne Sundfør, Astrid S. Album Tracks 1. So Ambiguous 2. Me & Youphoria 3. Stay Awhile 4. The Night 5. Lights Out 6. Speed King 7. The Next Day 8. Just Wanted to Know 9. Feel It 10. Like An Old Dog

The extraordinary Profound Mysteries project was realized in 2022, bringing together a cast of global visual and musical collaborators including designer Jonathan Zawada, the film production house Bacon, Alison Goldfrapp, Susanne Sundfør, Pixx, Astrid S and many more, across an incredible 30 tracks, 30 artifacts, 30 visualizers and 30 films released in 3 parts, as well as ongoing series of remixes featuring Mind Against, &Me, Qrion, Baauer, LP Giobbi, Maceo Plex, Enrico Sangiuliano, Jan Blomqvist, and NTO. Röyksopp continue the Profound Mysteries journey with the of Nebulous Nights (An Ambient Excursion into Profound Mysteries), a re-interpretation of the acclaimed project.
