Ever since i read that
♫ Röyksopp - Only This Moment (Alan Braxe and Fred Falke Remix)
♫ Röyksopp - Eple (Shakedown Club Mix)
♫ Röyksopp - 49 Percent (West London Deep-1 Percent Deeper Mix)

If you have any doubts on whether the perfectionists are equally spectacular live or not, then give this a listen:
♫ Röyksopp - What Else Is There (Night Out - Live)
UPDATE!
Gosh, I don't know how this post is going to make any sense but I'll try my best to explain it without leading you to needing treatments for cross eyes – I'm going to start from the beginning… well, after publishing the I♥Röyksopp post I realized I wasn't the only one who's totally head over heels for their luminous melodies; & a bunch of emails came in later that day thanking & declaring ones love for the Norwegian due - & then there was this wake-up-there's-more-to-them email from a Finnish graphic designer/illustrator-photographer Miika Saksi who knows quite a lot about Annie & Röyksopp's history (being a fan himself) - attached to his email was a zip file that contained a spring pressed jewel filled boxing glove that knocked me off with joy (including spiraling stars around my temple), it got me totally OMG-ing – I never knew Röyksopp remixed a J-Pop song & the late discovery makes the I'm-so-happy feeling even stronger for now I have an old brand new remix to enjoy!
It's probably the only remix with the The Understanding era style - soft & crunchy at the same time!
♫ Eri Nobuchika - Sing A Song (Röyksopp I Kramsø Remix) ←♥
Now that I know more remixes exist it became my duty to splash a proper remixography a.k.a. hunt list - so here it is, if you need a copy!
♫ Frost - Endless Love (Röyksopp Analoge Euromiks)
♫ Mekon - Please Stay (ft. Marc Almond) (Röyksopp Remix)
♫ Anneli Drecker - Sexy Love (Röyksopp Romantiske Sløyd)
♫ Spiller - Cry Baby (Röyksopp’s Målselves Memorabilia Mix)
♫ Kings Of Convenience - I Don't Know What I Can Save You From (Röyksopp Remix)
♫ Kings Of Convenience - I Don't Know What I Can Save You From (Röyksopp Instrumental)
♫ Felix Da Housecat - What Does It Feel Like? (Röyksopp Return To The Sun Remix)
♫ The Streets - Weak Become Heroes (Röyksopp Memory Lane Mix)
♫ The Streets - Weak Become Heroes (Röyksopp Memory Lane Dub)
♫ Peter Gabriel - My Head Sounds Like That (Röyksopp Remix)
♫ Athome Project - A Feeling Of Care (Mer (100 km/t))
♫ Athome Project - A Feeling Of Care (Salt (MS -20))
♫ Athome Project - A Feeling Of Care (Hav (Rus))
♫ Coldplay - Clocks (Röyksopp Trembling Heart Mix)
♫ Coldplay - Clocks (Röyksopp Trembling Heart Instrumental)
♫ Roots Manuva - Colossal Insight (Röyskopp Remix)
♫ Annie - Heartbeat (Röyksopp's Mindre TIlgjengelige Remix)
♫ Beck - Still Missing (Röyksopp Remix)
Now we all probably remember the Back To Mine compilation Röyksopp were asked to put together of their all time favorite tracks; but did you know that sneakily they included a track called Meat Ball by themselves disguised as Emmanuel Splice!
Sounds more like a popified DFA!
♫ Emmanuel Splice – Meat Ball
Now let's chop Röyksopp up – divided into 2 you get :
Svein Berge
(Butch Brunette – only remixes with Torbjørn Brundtland under Röyksopp)
&
Torbjørn Brundtland
(Flam Blondie – also remixes with other friends/bands too)
These are the co-remixes Torbjørn Brundtland have done...
♫ Shauna Davis - Get Away (Volcano Club Mix)
♫ Shauna Davis - Get Away (Volcano UK Mix)
♫ Malin - Kinky People (Strangefruit Dazy Age Mix) –Also Co-Prod Orig.
♫ Sway - Yum Yum Gimme Some (Metropolis Deep Vibe Dub)
♫ DJ Malin - La Serenissima (Malin Soda Dub) –Also Co-Prod Orig.
♫ Biosphere - Insomnia (Alanïa Mix)
Now behold this rare gem that not so many people have in it's entirely – If you heard/own Annie's installment for DJ Kicks then you probably remember an amazing electro-house tune titled Geared Up!? Well, that track is produced by Pehrson & Brundtland (Flam Blondie from Röyksopp) & the vocals are by Annie; unfortunately the version on DJ Kicks is only 3:40 (mixed with other tracks intro/outro) when the original is 5:32 & no where else to be found (physically) – Surprisingly, I hit my Windows XP search engine for Geared Up & voila there it was in an ancient folder from the P2P (Kazaa, Limewire….etc) days & it's in its full 5:40 min glory!
This is my tune of the day, btw!
♫ Pehrson & Torbjørn Brundtland – Geared Up (ft. Annie) ←♥♥
We know that Richard X & Röyksopp have produced tracks for Annie's successful debut Anniemal and most of the time they are the ones who get credited for that record's brilliance (maybe Richard X more) when actually most of it was produced by Timo Kaukolampi!
Who the fuck is Timo Kaukolampi you ask?
Timo Kaukolampi is the dude who formed Op:l Bastards with his friend Vilunki3000 (Mikko Viljakainen) – these 2 were members of Röyksopp's LIVE band back in the day & they are the same 2 guys who created that rare Finnish gem Rokkibaby (Rock Your Baby) by Disko Anne & Karvaopelit!
Let me break it down for you:
Disko Anne = Annie
Karvaopelit = Timo Kaukolampi + Vilunki3000 (Mikko Viljakainen)
It's from The Chill Of Collette compilation –I'm dying to find someone who owns that to ask for a proper 320kbps rip once & for all.
♫ Disko Anne & Karvaopelit - Rokkibaby (Rock Your Baby) 192kbps
Funny thing, they made that track with Annie in one night as a joke!
Anyhoo, here’s a brill track from Op:l Bastards' album The Job – had to throw in something since I mentioned them & it's a total first time hitter!
♫ Op:l Bastards – Scorpius
There's still more to this post but let's leave that for another time!
Röyksopp, one of the best electronic bands to ever exist - hands down.
25 Say Somethings.:
Either I'm very confused or they are two guys - who sings on what else is there then?

This is an awesome update!!
GEARED UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
what a track
u got me floating
best music blog post ive read anywhere in forever. i love knowing all the ins and outs of my favorite bands and artists, who theyve worked with, who they helped with production on, and who helped them.
thanks for the update :)
Wow, great update :)
but there are no actual NEWS in this story is there? at least not for me.
here is something you didnt know:
timo kaukolampi is annie's boyfriend
you still need all those remixes? i have them. all.
Yep, I seriously wanna hear those:
♫ Athome Project - A Feeling Of Care (Mer (100 km/t))
♫ Athome Project - A Feeling Of Care (Salt (MS -20))
♫ Athome Project - A Feeling Of Care (Hav (Rus))
Let's not forget that I believe Torbjörn was at least one of the guys behind Tuka's "Ghosts" (you'll find it on Arctic Circles 2 - REALLY old stuff, but as melodic as you'd expect it from him)
Wow, i've been a fan for yrs, obtaining all albums and remixes yet i had no idea about their side projects! This epic blog was worth the time thanks....
nice!!
more information you may or may not care about...
- the slight female background vocals at the end of Röyksopp's "Missing" remix are by Christine of Ephemera. Funnily, she'd never actually heard the final track until I played it on my iPod in Ephemera's tour bus in Berlin
- other brilliant tracks that aren't on their albums or mentioned here include "a quiet life" (on arctic circles 3), "wooden leg", "a special time of year" and "flax".
- you can get the athome project remixes on the 2nd cd of athome project's album (worthy of an addition to any decent cd collection anyway). Mer is good, Salt is VERY MS-20ish and a bit too aggressive IMHO, and Hav is absolutely brilliant.
^^ Heey! THANX <3
Do you happen to have the Mer/Salt/Hav???
Suggest buying it here:

Well worth a few kroners (however much that is in $s)
Röyksopp's remix of Sing a song is still awesome, even after its reedition in Junior =D
