Thanks, I know about Röyksopp little bit.

Just now I found one band that fits perfectly to this thread too - Afro Celt Sound System.

It's mixture of african, celtic and electronic music. Sometimes instrumental, sometimes with singing in english and some african language. I think it's cool music and I am curious to see them live.

This was my favorite of the punk songs you posted, Swink: I'll have to look up more by Niet. Wikipedia says the group revived in 2008 after more than 10 years of not playing. I'm curious what Niet's music is like now. If I find out more, I'll post in the ex-Yugoslavian music thread.

I listened to the two songs you posted...but during the first one I was distracted by this thought, "Wow! That woman sure looks Norwegian!!! And she's floating." I can't remember much about the song, now, but I can remember her face and blond, blond hair!

Interesting mixture of sounds...the African and celtic, Petula. I don't usually like music with a definite dance beat, but the first song kind of grew on me a little because of the building momentum and intricate sounds.

Okay, I gave it another go, glastonelle...and yes, I agree, the Royksopp song is good because I feel it creates an eerie mood and has a tantalizing beat, and the singer's voice certainly is interesting. The video is quite surrealistic...like a bad dream. One in which you drip white blood...or urinate on yourself...I'm not sure what that is dripping down her leg!

I heard it ages ago when I was about 12, but I still like it today. I was a pretty cool 12 year old, so I trust my judgement even back then

Hmmm... it either represent blood or like some kind of twink which opened and spilled through her pants, if thats even possible. It usually dries before it can travel far, so if it was in her pocket I'd be this big what stain. Could be milk possibly..

I've put far too much thought into this.

Now I found a band Orka from Faroe Islands.
Their MySpace - ORKA on MySpace Music - Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures & Music Downloads

It's music for people with open mind for some strange sounds. It's mixture of folk and industrial rock, they play on home-made instruments.
(By the way they had a tour with Yann Tiersen.)

Old post, I know, but I thought I could add some more information. The singer in that song is a guest singer. It's Karin Dreijer Andersson from the swedish band The Knife, so while she looks norwegian, she's actually a swede.

If you like her voice, she released a self-titled debut solo album under her artist Fever Ray in 2009. I've only heard one song or so and it was when it was new, so I can't remember if it's good, but I remember it got good reviews.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fever_Ray_(album)

Just so I stay on topic, I'll post this silly little song called "Kåbbåy" by notrwegian band Gartnerlosjen's debut (Krem Fjes) from 1994.
