Anyhow, I was floored when I heard "Dead Cities..." and loved "Before the Dawn..." as well. I hadn't heard anyone put together electronic composition and guitar so well in a long time. I was even more impressed seeing the live performance. Wish I lived someplace where I could have easily gone to another show on the tour. |
Re: M83
I've bought recently "Dead Cities, lost..." and I'm very deceived, but I need a few listens more to have a better advice.

Re: M83
The clearest difference from M83's first two long plays is there were two minds at the controls. What makes Before the Dawn Heals Us stellar (hey?), is A. Gonzalez was more than less the sole mind behind the beautiful madness that it is.
BTW, his work on remixes has never let me down and the B-sides of his own work are required listening. m83's remixes are usually heavy on the ambient, so if you don't care for beatless sounds then avoid. My favorites: Bloc Party - Pioneers - Silent Alarm M83 remix Depeche Mode - Suffer Well M83 remix Goldfrapp - Black Cherry M83 remix Also, melancholy to the extreme, with a glimpse of hope . . . |
Re: M83
I raved about the remix for DM's Suffer Well on a Depeche Mode thread already, but haven't heard any other remixes. What else has he done that I should be looking for? any favorites?

Re: M83
M83's music is like cotton candy...too much of it will make you sick.
:cool: |
Re: M83
I had a chance to see M83 live last year in San Francisco. I was amazed. The music was loud and everyone around me was hypnotized by the sheer power of the live band. It's quite a different sound live, if you ask me.
However, it was clear that [COLOR=Black]Anthony Gonzalez was having mix problems because he kept screaming at the guy standing at the mix board. He left the stage without saying a word and never returned. It was a real shame. Many of us stood around hoping for an encore, and there wasn't one. I love both albums, although I do agree that Car Chase Terror is quite a freaky song without its follow us Slight Night Shiver.. in fact I'm banned from playing it around my 4 year old. It gives her nightmares! :rolleyes: [/COLOR] |
Re: M83
We had a great show in T.O. for that tour, but I'd have to say while I do enjoy this band like drinking your roomates beer, it takes repeat listens to apprecate the albums.
I would say that they're one of the few bands/persons to excite me about music. |
Re: M83
Hallelujah!
Forgive me, it's finals week, and my mind is about to blow from geology studies. But I could not agree more senor DeJackyl, there's always Radiohead(living fucking legends!) tambien. I have a Spanish final as well. This will be another test to see how many brain cells you can kill over the past week and still not damage one's GPA. |
