The video on here is very cool, with Karin, the vocalist, floating through mid air in surreal scenes, with milk dripping off her feet. All the remixes are pretty good, and the original song alone is getting a lot of mainstream radio play. What is really the standout here is the Trentemoller remix. He is the hottest house artist and producer of the moment and his tech house take of this track is on fire. It's a churning, dark, tech remix, and when Karin sings "sudden explosions", Trentemoller follows suit in adding his own explosive sounds at just the right moments. When he flutters out the vocals for nearly 2 minutes deep into the track, it really hits it's peak. A lot of dance and mix compilations are picking this track up, but you will want to get it here, in it's full, 7:00+ entirety. This remix is a Do Not Miss track of the year!

The follow-up to the fantastic single, "49 Percent" finds Royksopp on the verge of discovering the next Bjork. It's a shame she's actually the singer of the Knife, keeping her weirdness in check here. The lyrics of "What Else Is There?" are sung with passion and conviction. Stuart Price gives it his all with two remixes, one as the Thin White Duke, and one as Jacques Lu Cont, but the true gem here is the bass-pounding mix provided to us from electro-meister Trentemoeller.

This song really stands out, I keep forgetting that its Royksopp. It just sounds so different to me. I wish they would do more songs with lead singers from other bands. Getting the lead singer from "the Knife" for this song was an awesome idea.

The girl in the video with the milk dripping is not Karin The Knife. The one who is Karin is the girl that is eating the apple.

This is not a CD. It is an "Enhanced CD" which means it wants to run a software program in order to be heard on your computer. After all the mess Sony caused with software 'enhanced' CDs, I am very upset with my purchase. I thought I was buying a music CD, not a software progam that plays music and does who knows what else to my computer. If I can find a way to send this back I will.

I listened to the song on a regular radio, and its pretty good. If you only use a radio, then this will be fine for you.

Keeper! one of my fave Royksopp tracks, remixed a few ways just yearning for me to spin in my next DJ set. It may be an enhanced CD, but plays fine on my macbook pro with iTunes.

What Else Is There?
The original song is already a blessing and when I heard they made remixes I just had to hear them, all of them are good but one just caught my ear more than the others. The Trentemoller remix is truly uplifting, never heard a better remix in my short 18 years on this earth but honestly, totally worth the money, and hope Royksopp and Trentemoller keep me amazed.

her voice is awesome the mixes are great with a good mix of bpm's for a wide amonunt of mixing

I strongly recommend this cd-single because of the excellent remixes. My five stars are with out a doubt because of the super rocking Trentemøller remix. It gets the dancefloor packed!

this artist will be heard all across america soon - their music is contemporary and new at the same time
