I agree. I was hoping for more of the Merlody A.M. vibe. I was so dissapointed that I only gave it one listen. Maybe it's time to listen again, and this time with a more open mind.

Too much vocals IMO, but "Alpha Male" is ace.

There is "Alan Braxe & Fred Falke Remix" and "Headman Remix" and "Röyksopp's Forsiketige Massasje" on the Only This Moment 12" (the UK CD single has "Röyksopp's Hissige" instead and not the 2 remixes).

I haven't heard the other mixes yet tho, only the version on the album.

Hehe, i kinda guessed what the massasje one meant.. of hissige i had no clue of. Thanks for the info. :p

And apparentaly (as always d'oh!) there are several slightly different (in tracklisting) CD and 12" releases of Only This Moment, depending on the country of release.

good electronic album with some nice vocal tracks! and a style you don't hear very often..

Bought it today, and I can already say that it's the ideal night-driving album. Very cool vibe. Even though I also found that there were too many vocals added, they already started growing on me.
