Creamtone

Just rediscovered a remix from years back. An oldie but goodie. Norwegian groove-meisters Röyksopp had really outdone themselves with this beautifully understated remix of an introspective classic from the Kings of Convenience — complete with caramel vocals from KoC’s Erlend Øye.

Left Kings + Right Röyk…

Here’s the original acoustic version…
Kings of Convenience - I Don’t Know What I Can Save You From

Here’s the remix that really transforms and lifts the whole tune…
KoC - I Don’t Know What I Can Save You From (Röyksopp Remix)

Both are delicate masterpieces — perfect earphone music for moments when I feel like sitting on the beach, watching ships pass by, under the evening sun.

Coincidentally and rather strangely, both bands hail from the town of Bergen, Norway and both bands are made up of two blokes.

Must be all the salmon they eat. Haha. Oops.
