Röyksopp is a Norwegian electronic music duo from Tromsø, composed of Torbjørn Brundtland and Svein Berge. The group formed officially in 1998 and released their debut album Melody A.M. on Wall of Sound in 2001. The Wall of Sound is a music production technique for pop and rock music recordings developed by record producer Phil Spector at Gold Star Studios during the 1960s. Spector, working with audio engineers such as Larry Levine, created a dense, layered, and reverberant sound that reproduced well on AM radio and jukeboxes popular in the era. He created this sound by having a number of electric and acoustic guitarists perform the same parts in unison, adding musical arrangements for large groups of musicians up to the size of orchestras, and then recording the sound using an echo chamber. But that is different from now. The first trial of Phil Spector resulted in mistrial, and in the second, he was convicted of murder. The producer extraordinaire, proponent of the so called wall of sound, was found guilty in the murder of actress Lana Clarkson, star of 80s historical fantasy film the Barbarian Queen, who died in Spector's home in 2003 of a gunshot wound to the head. No faxing payday loans can't do a thing for Phil Spector now.
