This one's probably less 'Roykfrapp' and more 'Frappgelis', I think. Lots of noisy synths with a kind of filtered rave-synth thing set against an uncharacteristically slow, funky beat. With the lead synth, the bass and the pulsating arpeggio that comes in on the repeat, this has quite a retro sound to it (makes me think of Vangelis and also the theme to 'Educating Rita' for some reason).
I started out with a piano motif that became completely overtaken once I hit on the rave sound. That took me off on a whole new tangent and rendered the piano redundant, which makes a change. I actually did some more work to this but ended up with a rather lumpy mix, so this is not the latest draft. However, the indiscretions in the melody that I'd sought to iron-out are less troubling than the mess I made of the mix by working too late at night. I had added a second lead sound to the final repeat of the tune but don't think it made too much difference. In this mix, I've sharpened things up a little with an extra layer of rhythm and some additional low bass.
