Equally indebted to the 4AD/My Bloody Valentine school of blissed-out, psychedelicized noise and to the chilled atmospheric sides of Paris and Berlin's electronic scenes, M83's self-titled debut and its 2003 follow-up, <I>Dead Cities, Red Seas and Lost Ghosts</I>, captured the tragedy and ascension of the post-9/11 moment. Befitting a group named after a universe, it was not small music, it did not back down from feelings and it could rock a dance floor without mocking rockers or dancers. Fromageau exited ahead of '05's <I>Before the Dawn Heals Us</I>, yet as titles like "Teen Angst" and "Don't Save Us from the Flames" may imply, M83 retained the sound and fury of a sonic battleground, youthful vigor and knowing hopelessness exploding and receding. A limited-edition EP of ambient sculptures called <I>Digital Shades [Vol. 1]</I> saw Gonzalez achieve an ambient calm. And when he re-entered the breach, '08's <I>Saturdays = Youth</I> found him embracing an '80s song form, an almost-pop band forming from the big bang of an electronic freak-out. - Piotr OrlovLaptronicaen720Thu, 26 Nov 2009 02:41:23 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5264292&rws=%2Fm83%2Ftop-tracks.rss M83 began in the southern French town of Antibes around the turn of the millennium as a duo, Anthony Gonzalez and Nicolas Fromageau.
