Summary: So Easy to Enjoy, A Caveman Could Love It!
Comment: You must really hate electronic music and be close minded to it to not get enjoyment out of this. Royksopp may not be the most original electronic artist in the world, and this gets lumped in the same category as that abomination called Thievery Corporation. Of course, I am alot harder to impress with electronic music, these days, and it takes a ____load to even get me interested (DAMN YOU AMON TOBIN!!!).
There really isn't a limit to the warm blanket this album pushes over me. Warm string sounds, some cool beats (Eple! So Easy!), and ambiance, ambiance, ambiance! They really know what the concept of ambiance is. Echos, textures, deepness, a layer of warmth that you never will want to part with. They also know how to inject real warmth and a natural, organic touch. They even throw some pleasant vocals in for good measure. Really though, it's kind of hard not to get some enjoyment for what it is. I can understand things like Eple (some people don't like bleeps and bloops), but In Space? I don't think so. At least those strings at the beginning. Beautiful stuff.
Those who know about GEICO's hilarious (at least before it became played out thanks to idiots. You know the type) Caveman commercials, well one of the songs is for you. Remind Me plays in the background of the airport one. Yeah, I had no idea it played in the background actually, I never remembered a thing. So yes, I heard of these guys not because of the commercial =).
Okay, so you want to know what to expect, do Yah? I will now give you a hands on of this great album. See comment box for instructions (no, seriously. It WILL help)!
Oh, I didn't care for 40 Years Back, A Higher Place as much. They weren't that bad. I also really don't think it's worth quite the five stars, but that's my opinion, anyway. Your's might be different. I'm just here to describe what I got out of it.
The concept of Downtempo often lies in combining ambient music with laid back beats for a lounge feel (further reading on ________). Melody AM has both and a human touch that cannot be ignored. It goes through my body and does it's stuff right, and even makes me dance an infectious groove. So Easy to Enjoy, A Caveman Could Love It! Really, most HUMAN people will enjoy something out of this. Unless, of course, your a classical music snob who thinks anything that requires electricity to play or based on that is automatically soulless.

Summary: Great Work
Comment: I bought the CD for the song "Remember." I had hoped that the whole CD would be as good, and it is not. There is a guest vocalist singing "Remember" and the other best song, "Poor Leno," while the rest of the songs are decent/okay, but not as good. "Poor Leno" and "Remember" are worth the price of admission, however, and included as videos and with remixes. Excellent package.

Summary: Bought this on a whim
Comment: I must admit (and epicureans of this genre of music will probably want to throttle me) that I heard this via those darn cavemen Geico commercials. As a late thirty-something I'm pretty much set in my musical tastes but after repeatedly hearing it on the TV commercial, I looked it up and bought it. I really like it- I mainly listen to it in the car since it has good "bass".
I still enjoy the song on it from the commercial, but I must say that I totally LOVE the song titled "Sparks". As a fan of eerie female vocals, this song is perfect- it has a slow tempo yet still has a strong "thumping" sound to it! Even though I tend to loathe commercials and marketing tactics in general, I am glad I heard this and bought it.

Summary: Great music
Comment: I bought this album for my dad and my entire family loves it. It's electronica/dance flare is perfect, not too trancy but almost acid jazz-like. I think the entire thing is solid and it's really catchy. Can listen to it any time of the day and very nice to fall asleep listening to it.

Summary: Like Daft Punk on Valium
Comment: I just bought this CD from a local record store two days ago, and I can't stop listening to it. I think every track is great, which to me is saying something. I disagree with others that this sounds like "typical 80's" music, but if you're into downtempo electronica (i.e., Air, Zero 7, Thievery Corporation), and haven't heard this yet, I'd definitely recommend giving it a listen.
