Biography

With these soft spoken words on the simply-titled opening track--“Intro”-- M83 mastermind Anthony Gonzalez introduces us to his sixth record and first double disc album, Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming.

Dauntlessly singing into the void that was left behind since Saturdays=Youth, Gonzalez suddenly surges with overwhelming emotion as the music mounts an invisible precipice. Historically, he softly eased… Read more in Amazon's M83 Store

Editorial Reviews

Double vinyl LP pressing of their 2001 debut album from the French Electronic outfit. Their musical style owes something to the Shoegazing genre in its extensive use of reverb effects and lyrics spoken softly over loud instrumentals, though M83's songs employ considerably less guitar than most Shoegazing bands. 14 tracks. --This text refers to the Vinyl edition.

3.0 out of 5 stars M82, July 17, 2009
This review is from: M83 (Audio CD)
This fine warm up to what would become the full-bodied embrace of their synthesized sound cannot quite capture the production depth of future releases but still comes across as a very competent amateur release.

3.0 out of 5 stars An acquired taste, December 28, 2005
By 
This review is from: M83 (Audio CD)
This is reportedly a re-release of their first album from 2001, which didn't get very wide distribution at all. It's also a much different beast from Before the Dawn Heals Us. First of all, there are no proper vocals in any of the tracks -- only snippets of dialogue and a computerized voice popping up here and there. Where Before the Dawn felt like a blend of pop rock and retro electro, this veers more towards experimental mood noodling, with the last track clocking in at over seventeen minutes as they meander from one sound scape to another.

There's nothing that feels like a proper song -- which isn't a bad thing necessarily, it's just not nearly as gratifying as Before the Dawn (or Dead Cities, for that matter). They take more stylistic risks with less ambitious instrumentation, but it doesn't have that spacey soulfulness that they've managed to cultivate since this album was recorded. If you simply must have more M83, then you'll probably find something to like here, but don't come crying to me if you feel a little confused and disappointed.

4.0 out of 5 stars Best of Three, March 23, 2006
This review is from: M83 (Audio CD)
Looking to try out some M83? Try this first. Excellent synth sounds, dreamy rhythms. By far the best of three albums released to date.
