Jesudas (partially found Röyksopp album; 1999)

Status: Partially Found

Jesudas is an album by Röyksopp that was released privately to friends in 1999.

Background

Röyksopp is an electronic duo that formed in 1998. Their first single was "So Easy", released the following year. They also contributed tracks to various compilation albums, such as "Your Hands" to Arctic Circles 2 in 1999 and "Wooden Leg" to Le Big Sloppy Kiss in 2000. In 2001, the duo released its first public album, Melody A.M..

Jesudas predates Melody A.M. by two years; it originally contained nine tracks, and was handed out privately to friends and fellow musicians. After being strongly praised, a 13 track CD version was released; only six copies were produced. With the exception of "Stronghold", none of its tracks are available or known. This track was planned to be included on Melody A.M., but left out due to space restrictions.

Availability

Only one track from the album is known to be available, titled "Stronghold". It was released on Röyksopp's SoundCloud in 2011 as part of the monthly Track Of The Month series. However, the second half of this track was reworked due to the original having a "semi-unfinished" feel, so the original version still remains unreleased.
