In my opinion, "Nebulous Nights" is a masterpiece-- it's essentially Röyksopp's take on The KLF's "Chill Out". I've long wanted something more akin to a continuation of "Senior's" ambient offerings, and this new release is in a class of its own. There's a substantial number of highlights in both the reworked and original material, and I love the numerous overt and subtle references— Pete Namlook + The KLF are pretty explicitly there, but also Biosphere, Vangelis, The Orb, Boards of Canada... It's sort of like the "Junior" / "Senior" duality again, but on a much grander scale. In totality, it's a rewarding and indulgent love letter / dedication, and I can see why it was put out in the manner that it was. I am curious just how long ago this has technically been "finished", seeing how this has been teased at as of PM III's release date.

Thanks for the love and support! The YouTube channel continues to be an ongoing, (mostly) Röyksopp-oriented endeavor. :)

Yeah, as much of a fan as I am, the "Profound Mysteries" trilogy is hit-or-miss. There's some excellent tracks on there, but the lyricism is pretty light and repetitive, and some tracks I just cannot get into at all. There's about 5-6 tracks each on PM I and II that I enjoyed, but PM III at least has the best ratio of quality and quantity in my opinion. With the slight exception of "Me&Youphoria" being a dime-a-dozen electropop track, everything else on the release is pretty fantastic; it's become my second or third favorite Röyksopp album.

Indeed they are ;)

"Melody A.M." and their immediate pre-Röyksopp release, "Drum Island" are my favorite albums Svein + Torbjørn have ever put out. It's just a shame that their imaginative use of sampling in their early years isn't really viable for them nowadays.
