Electronic Sound is the best electronic music magazine in the world. In-depth coverage of the current scene, the pioneers, the machines, and the current thinking of the electronic music world.
It’s taken Orbital more than 30 years to get to their 10th studio album and what a journey it’s been. Right from their 1989 debut single, the gently acidic and effortlessly hypnotic ‘Chime’, Phil and Paul Hartnoll demonstrated a natural talent for matching shiny beats with shimmering melodies. So while the pair were viewed as leading lights of the rapidly expanding UK rave scene, the widescreen wonder of their early records put them in a totally different league to most of the hands-in-the-air brigade. Can you feel it? Oh yes. With bells on.

Blimey. We like to think we’ve had some pretty striking covers over the years, but the photo of Röyksopp on the front of this month’s Electronic Sound really is something else. We have a weighty interview with the unorthodox Norwegian group inside the magazine, plus loads more to entertain you. Röyksopp’s massively popular 2001 debut album, ‘Melody AM’, made the pair the first new electronic superstars of the 21st century. Two decades down the line, Svein Berge and Torbjørn Brundtland are bossing 2022 with the release of two terrific albums in the space of only four months. ‘Profound Mysteries’ and ‘Profound Mysteries II’ embrace an array of electronic styles – slinky pop songs, funky bangers, wistful moments and much more – but the albums are actually part of a wider art project that also involves 20 short films and 20 specially created digital artefacts, one for each of the 20 tracks. A lot of it is mighty strange stuff and it all adds up to a thrilling and truly unique audio-visual trip.
