Röyksopp don’t come across as a particularly ‘live’ act on their albums, so the Night Out Live EP is a bit of a revelation – with eight tracks and an outro lasting nigh on forty minutes, it’s about what you’d expect from one of their many festival performances.

Of course, many of the tracks that appear on Night Out Live sound nothing like their recorded versions. “Poor Leno”, for example, is barely recognisable; nor is “Only This Moment”. It’s because of this that dance music is sometimes looked down upon by the rock pigs: they simply cannot recreate live what they do in the studio.

But that’s hardly the point, is it? On Night Out Live Röyksopp reinvent their sound rather than deliver a facsimile version of it. Recorded live in Oslo in November of 2005, the rapturous hometown reception is clear to hear, and heartening too. Whilst nothing about the group is a reinvention of the wheel, it’s clear to hear that people genuinely seem to dig it.
