Hurry Up, We're Dreaming

At first I wasn't too thrilled with the new M83. I wanted before the Dawn Heals Us, again. But what they have done is put out their own Sandinista leaving people arguing which songs are crap and which are good and really mixing Before The Dawna dn Saturday = Youth.

It took awhile to get used to singer/songwriter Anthony Gonzale's mix of Peter Gabriel and Babatunde Omoroga "Tunde" Adebimpe vocal stylings. When wanting a variation of an album a band had put out, it is easy to dismiss a work that does not deliver on that.

And nothing as cringe worthy as Graveyeard Girl - but lots of grandiose drum rolls in a some songs and simple piano (again the Gabriel comparison) "Here Comes The Flood" brief moments.

The double cd does get better and better.

New Map - M83




But hey - these guys really articulate things in a way Wojo never could

Talking of Peter Gabriel (weren't we?) I listened to Peter Gabriel 4 again yesterday for the first time in about 100 years - I'd forgotten just how sensational it is.

IT really is - good enough to derail an M83 thread

But a real fav is

Agreed. Poor M83 - thread derailed by one of the greats.

I'm quite fond of M83 too.

Yes, but Anthony Gonzalez needs to put a few more years - or decades in - before he gets the same accolades.
