M83 never ceases to amaze me with his ethereal soundscapes. Where he really shines is when he gets in to the mood to write a build that not only sets your body free but also your mind. Melodies trapped under a thin ice shelf waiting for your hearts warmth to let them finally break through into the sunlight. Perfect for driving at night, or taking a flight. And m83 never fails in the bedroom. with candles. This double disc gives you even more!
I mention this stuff about M83 generally in another review: M83 is one of the most musical electronica bands I have heard, though I'm definitely no guru of electronica. Their tunes move slowly but very tunefully and melodically. You're hooked right away because they come up with some interesting sound, or sonic texture/color. They start adding chords and washes of contrast and gradually the tune progresses--this doesn't mean that every tune has a slow tempo, but the different musical ideas each get time to present themselves before something else comes along. To me, bad electronica can often sound like you're supposed to be dancing, watching a movie, or otherwise doing something else while it plays. M83 seems so musical to me because their tunes are complex enough that you can sit and listen to them without your mind being tempted to wander. That's rare enough for any style--I absolutely don't want to sound like I am bashing electronica when I say this. But I'm only a casual electronica fan and I think others with the same level of familiarity will enjoy these guys a lot. Dead Cities is their coolest record. Most energy, most different moods, catchiest melodies, most inspired compositions. Definitely one to buy if you're thinking you might be curious about them.Read full review
nice cd with very idm electronic guitar/synth atmosphere and sounds, it has some perfect songs that will make you happy for a long time
this is not the first cd I'm listening of M83, but after listening this record I'm think I'm in love to them. There's something new time, something old, but it have melody and sounds very exlelentintreresting how I can to explain.
