Marty's August Album of the Month

Yeah, two posts in one day. I have a lot of non-blogged time to make up for...

I'm going to now institute Marty's Album of the Month, an award given to an artist's collection of songs that somehow penetrated my impressive lack of attention and made me a fan. For the month of August 2005, my pick is "The Understanding" by Royksopp. Rhapsody describes them as a "Norwegian electronica duo" with a "divine mix of bouncy beats and sample-based downtempo." I'm a fan of big music that uses the whole frequency range, includes symphonious vocals, and makes me want to dance...and I found that with this album. I hope you take some time to find it, enjoy it, and let me know what you think.
