Repeating the formula of a wildly popular debut album would have given Royksopp a licence to print money.

As with Air, the band they're most often compared to, Svein and Torbjorn refused to do so, with limited success.

Instead the duo came across like a pumped-up Kraftwerk who delight in what they do. Crucially for a dance act, they actually possess a stage presence, even if their "I'm a teapot" stances can look a little bizarre.

They were augmented by the flawless vocals of the five-month pregnant Angli and an excellent rhythm guitarist.

Circuit Breaker saw them trying to be the Pet Shop Boys, which is always welcome. Higher Place was a Balearic beauty while the widescreen Alpha Male soared.

The abrasive tone of the encore hinted at even better things to come.
