"The Inevitable End" is Norwegian duo Röyksopp's fifth and supposedly final album, which is such a shame. Fittingly perhaps, the sound is brooding and melancholic with ambient washes, despite the odd raised tempo here and there on songs such as a reworking of "Monument" (which featured in a different version on their "Do It Again" EP with Robyn, who appears again on the moody ballad "Rong"), opening cut the vocoder-driven Daft Punk-esque "Skulls", the jittery "Save Me" featuring Susanne Sundf�r, or "I Had This Thing" featuring Jamie Irrepressible.

Their 2001 debut "Melody AM" was incredible, and this is just as great. Everything stands out really; the dreamy gently-pulsing "Sordid Affair" featuring Man Without Country (what an interesting name), the 7 minute-long dirge-like ballad "You Know I Have To Go" featuring a mournful Jamie Irrepressible, the dark yet serenely beautiful "Here She Comes Again" featuring the elegiac croon of Jamie Irrepressible over clipped beats (he appears again on the hypnotic "Compulsion" which winds down and changes tempo near its end), the pulsing "Running To The Sea" featuring an echoey Susanne Sundf�r and a lovely piano intro, the ethereal and incredibly beautiful instrumental "Coup De Grace" (which sounds like the soundtrack to some movie), and closing cut "Thank You" which finds the pair singing in unison using a vocoder giving way to a lovely lengthy instrumental.

An incredible swan song from a supremely talented pair. To borrow a line from one of the songs, "You know I have to go, there's nothing more to say".

Say hello to the final studio album by Royksopp. Or say goodbye. I'm not sure which is more appropriate. In any case, the good news is that the Norwegian duo isn't going to stop making music; they're just saying goodbye to the traditional album format, as the trend of digital cherry-picking makes the concept not quite as lucrative as in the days when you actually had to buy a physical object to get your music.

Their name (kinda/sorta) means "mushroom." Depending on which interview you've read, they're referring to mushrooms of either the magical or the cloud variety. Both are fairly oblique symbols for their work, which has always had an emotionally devastating sort of trippiness to it. But even when their songs were about melancholy subjects, they've always contained this electro-techno-spark of life that made them not just catchy, but also invigorating. Heck, their big hit from JUNIOR was all about a terminally lonely woman who was married to a workaholic who never came home, and it was a summer dance hit in spite of its gloomy lyrics.

And that is (just one of) the beautiful things about their music: it has run the gamut from lushly atmospheric, to a sort of melodic mental massage, to a kind of charge for cheerfulness, to even a revelry in introspection. If that makes any sense. They've never had a bad album, in my opinion, and most of their work treads that tricky line between being gloomy and celebratory.

Not so here. This is definitely a sad album. It is, however, a really good sad album. I'm not sure where the darkness comes from -- maybe it's the eulogy for the album as a format -- but whatever the case, the grimness takes off from track one, Skulls, which sounds almost like an android's war cry.

I been in love with the music of Royksopp since 2008 and I must say everytime they come out the music gets better and better. This album is the best by far some really good tracks. Listen on a good sound system with good bass you gonna need it. I have a Bose system in my car and it sounds amazing. Wicked album may be the best record of the year for downtempo dance music. Praise to ROYKSOPP!!!!!!!!!
