Norwegian electronic stars Royksopp are gearing up for the release of their fifth album having recently premiered new single 'Running To The Sea'.

The duo have now revealed a cover version of Depeche Mode's 1981 classic 'Ice Machine'. Once again, singer Susanne Sundfør joins the band for a pounding, atmospheric cover while Royksopp themselves contribute menaching male vocals in stark contrast to Sundfør's crystal clear voice.

'Ice Machine' was the b-side to Depeche Mode's first ever single, 'Dreaming Of Me' which originally hit only No.57 on the UK charts, but launched the career of one of the biggest electronic bands of all time.
