The Understanding, the long-awaited follow-up to Röyksopp's acclaimed Melody A.M., finds the Norwegian electronica duo refining their atmospheric sound. On many tracks here, Torbjørn Brundtland and Svein Berge focus on more accessible pop structures. "Only This Moment" is a surging, Pet Shop Boys-like dance number, and "49 Percent" ventures into contemporary R&B territory, while "Follow My Ruin" is inspired by the '80s, replete with funky bass and synth-drum rolls. There's plenty to please fans of their breezy earlier album, particularly the pulsing "Beautiful Day Without You" and the gently shuffling "Someone Like Me." A departure, but not a complete about-face, The Understanding reveals new aspects of Röyksopp, without abandoning the dreamy, keyboard-heavy aesthetic associated with the group. ~ Eric Schneider, Rovi Read Less
