I purchased this album on its original release in 2001 and can safely say that 16 months later it is still fantastic - one of the best albums I've bought in the last 10 years.
Chilled electronic music from Norway is nothing new, Biosphere was creating glacial ambient music as far back as the early 90s. Royksopp differ as their take on chilled electronica is born out of much warmer and organic vibes; you can almost smell the autumnal pine of a Norwegian forest in these tracks!
This is electronic music that both touches the soul and warms the heart. At times so beautiful you want to weep and at others a little funky that you smile with excited pleasure.
Unusual for an album coming from the chill-out genre, most of the tracks here avoid 10 minute self indulgence and noodly muso tinkering! Excellenty produced and mixed to perfection, Melody AM is now the benchmark for all chilled electronica albums to be measured by!

This has to be my favourite album of the year and I've only just discovered it. There isn't a bad track on the album. It's along the lines of Air, Daft Punk, Lemon Jelly, and a little bit of Bjorkness thrown in for good measure. It's best described as chill-out dance, with a couple of tracks benefiting from some romantic vocals. There's even a Jarre sample in there; the production values are top notch.
I don't normally agree when magazines vote an album as their album of the month, but in this case Royksopp deserve those accolades. Most of the pieces are around 4 minutes long except "Royksopp's night out" which is as grand as a Propellerheads James Bond style track and twice as funky. If you're into the Wall of Sound or Warp record labels, this album is unquestionably for you.

If it wasn't for this album. my hair would have gone grey or fallen out simple as that! This time last year i was stressed out big time working hard on the final year of my degree. Suffering nervous exhaustion, i started to find that gettin hammered wasn't helping the stress go away anymore. I bought Melody AM and all my stresses were lifted gently out of my body and thrown aggressively out of the window of my grotty student house. It's wonderful, full of electronic melodies that make your mind deflate and just let it wonder over hills and oceans. In Space, is a perfect example of feeling like you are drifting on a boat, further out to sea and not caring one little bit.
It's not really a chillout album, but somehow it amazingly manages to make you feel happy and relaxed. Wouldn't be sane now if i hadn't bought it. So if you feel depressed or stressed or both, don't bother with doctors. Just prescribe yourself Melody AM by Royksopp and within the hour you will be feelin on top again, guaranteed.

Fills you with hope ... every home should have one!
I bought this CD as soon as it was released on the strength of the track 'So Easy', having heard a snippet of the song on the T-Mobile advert. Read more

Sly, intelligent, and sexy

Great album - bonus edition not worth it though
It's a fantastic album, as other people have already said. Their second album "The Understanding" isn't anywhere near as good as this. Read more

Weathering the ravages of time nicely
I think just about everyone has heard this and most likely owns this but I like to stick my oar in anyway. I once heard this described as dance musics answer to Pink Floyd. Read more

Royskopp's Night Out... best song EVER! Devilish track.
This must be one of the quirkiest albums i've got, it's just brilliant, like others, I agree... it is a cross between Air and Chemical brothers, similar to lemon jelly too. Read more
