Released on June 14, 2013, the Röyksopp edition of the Late Night Tales series is a curated journey through the Norwegian duo's diverse musical influences. Svein Berge and Torbjørn Brundtland assembled this 19-track mix to showcase a "cinematic narrative" heavy on analog synthesizer tones, spanning genres from 70s yacht rock to 80s new wave and ambient electronics. Album Highlights
For fans hunting down the VA - Late Night Tales - Röyksopp - 2013 release (often found circulating as a torrent in the early 2010s), the hunt was about more than just files—it was about capturing a specific, melancholic vibe that streaming algorithms struggle to replicate.

- Steve Miller Band – "Fly Like an Eagle" (Röyksopp Edit): The mix opens with a warped, slowed-down edit of the classic rock staple, immediately disorienting the listener in the best possible way.
- Suicide – "Dream Baby Dream": A haunting, looped organ piece that encapsulates the anxiety and beauty of being awake while the world sleeps.
- Röyksopp – "The Temple" (An exclusive track): Perhaps the crown jewel of the compilation. This brooding, cinematic instrumental sounds like it belongs in a dystopian sci-fi film, showcasing the duo’s ability to write original material that fits the Tales aesthetic perfectly.
- The Hellers – "It's You": An obscure, woozy lo-fi pop song that sounds like a forgotten cassette from 1985.
The Curator’s Touch: The sequencing is praised for its "top-notch" instincts, creating a "sweetly compelling but gently guarded" mood.
The Eclectic Selection: The duo selected tracks from artists like Vangelis, XTC, Popol Vuh, and This Mortal Coil. The inclusion of Vangelis’ "Blade Runner Blues" anchors the album in a futuristic, rainy-city aesthetic.
