History

Lindbæk and Brundtland were officially the main members of the group, but Berge and Barlindhaug were notable contributors. Almost all music was made by Brundtland, Berge and Barlindhaug. They have released the albums Instinctive Travels (1996) on Parlophone and Skyjuice (1997) on Drum Island Records. The group dissolved in 1997, and Berge and Brundtland started Röyksopp in 1998.

Critics have said that the music has a "unique, polar mood" [1] and that the skill level of the productions "makes it very nice to be Norwegian, and make you wish that Tromsø was your hometown".[2]

gollark: That's probably the main problem - nobody really wants a standard.
gollark: Ideally stackable, too.
gollark: Just standardize a form factor with however-many-volt terminals and probably a serial link for communicating with a control computer.
