[RollWave]

Anyone know their music? Its pretty cool electronica.

 

[loup garou]

Just like it's spelled.

They're OK.

Yup, I went to their concert in LA 3 weeks ago at the Hollywood Bowl. They were awesome!

Here's a picture of them at the concert. http://pics.bbzzdd.com/users/QuEeNyGuRl/DSC03079.JPG

I got some video too. PM me if you want to them. My favorite songs are Poor Leno and Royksopp's Night Out.

 

[RollWave]

I pronounce it "rock-sop" (sop rhyming with cop)

royeeksop

The o is scandinavian. They have the oo ooer eeor noises and these represent them. (Noises not to scale)

 

[iroast]

reeaaheeeheeaally...interesting. You arent by any chance part of the band Divide By Zero are you?

 

[Forsythe]

Americans should pronounce it Roeyk-Sop, and the "o" is pronounced like cop. It's not scandinavian, the scandinavian is the O with the line through it, Ø, it's german and such.

 

[piroroadkill]

I've got a bunch of their music, and yes, Röyksopp are pretty good.

I don't know whether it's right or wrong but I pronounce it exactly the way it's spelt, and I couldn't imagine being able to say it any other way. That would be "royk-sopp", err, yeah. Roy as in toy. That's all I've got.

I can't believe some of you have never seen an umlat before (¨) or knew what it was :-/

I like the song "Eple" but I haven't heard much else from them.

I'm not American and at least I tried.

Royk-sohp.

[chcarnage]

I know and like them, too.

Pronounce the "ö" like the i in "girl" and the "y" like the i's in "India".

They are norwegian and sometimes referred to as "Røjksopp" as well
