CD Reviews

Synthesizer "Loveless"
Kurt Lennon | Calgary | 06/23/2004
(5 out of 5 stars)

"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."

"Let me just say the sound samples available on amazon doesn't do this cd any justice you really have to hear how each track progresses to really appreciate the whole appeal of the music. If I was to describe their style simply think GYBE! that uses synths instead of guitars!! Lots of rantings and powerful cadences that makes it sound as if the world was ending right before your very ears!!



For me there are no standout tracks cause I love each and everyone of them. I would even categorize it as post punk in structure along with the likes of GYBE!, Mogwai and Explosions in the Sky but with a unique character.



Give it a try. If you like it, then this will probably become one of your all time favs."
