Product Review

After the inordinate success of their debut album, the electronic shot in the arm that was Melody A.M., R”yksopp (Torbj”rn Brundtland and Svein Berge) saw many riches unfold with 1,000,000 copies sold worldwide and tours with Basement Jaxx and Moby, not to mention their own headline tours. It is this kind of pedigree that Back to Mine looks for in its artists and in turn their integrity is reflected in the final mix. R”yksopp takes listeners on an epic journey that glistens from the reflection of the glitterball, upbeat but soothing, eclectic but educational, cheesy in places but cool throughout. Back to Mine R”yksopp celebrates the 25th release in this critically acclaimed series and features an exclusive track under a new R”yksopp pseudonym, Emmanuel Splice, created specifically for this Back to Mine compilation. This Back to Mine release is the first R”yksopp branded product since their second album release (The Understanding) in 2005 and effortlessly fills the gap for their loyal fanbase
