Product Description
Product Description
Combining elements of My Bloody Valentine, Mogwai, Air, Sigur Ros & Tangerine Dream, France's M83 has a distinct sound that's modern, melancholic and mesmerizing. Dead Cities, Red Seas & Lost Ghosts is one of the most striking records you'll hear this year. Available on 2 CD (includes exclusive bonus disc) and 2LP. Debut US tour this September!

By Kurt Lennon
Format:Audio CD
Doing for synths what MBV did for guitars, French duo M83 have created an intensely beautiful wall of sound that is sometimes so dense as to be overwhelming. Named after a gorgeous spiral galaxy in the Andromeda Strain (and not after a noxious British freeway), the music is appropriate to their moniker: it is a swirling mass of thick sound alive with mystery and beauty. The songs melt together into a glacier destroying everything in sight, but they maintain individual entities, and for every massive moment like "In Church" or "Cyborg" there are moments of fleeting fragilty like "Beauties Can Die", a fourteen minute treasure that spends most of its time in reverent silence.
Because of its import status, this wasn't in consideration for many top ten lists from 2003, which is a shame: in hindsight, it was a rather weak year for music, and this album is head and shoulders above other releases from those twelve months - even if it was only in Europe. Get it today! It is well worth the money, especially if you find it for cheaper.

Heard the first few seconds of "Unrecorded" and it really feels like the early 90s... here's the sugary twist: the technology is new and the production turned up a notch (reminds me of John Reis-era Superchunk, instruments up front and vocals low in the mix)
Format:Audio CD
This stuff is great, it doesn't sound quite like anything else. It has aspects of other music. The analogue synths of Kid A, the gradeur of Mogwai, the electronic feel of Autechre, yet it sounds nothing like any of the aforementioned groups. This is without a doubt one of my top five albums of the past year.

A do-it-yourself lobotomy kit.
Layers of sustained synth notes moving slowly through progressions that are alternately cliched and uninspired. Endless minor progressions meant to evoke feeling. Read more

speechless
First off let me say how I think it is very ironic that the group name is m83 because this album does take to another galaxy when listening. Read more

Good but not worth import price
There are a lot of things to like about this album. It was electronic French music that didn't sound like air. Read more

calm down
I think the previous reviewer meant "inhabit" instead of "inhibit". You inhabit this album, not inhibit it... Read more
