Guest Loss Report post Posted February 7, 2005 I was recently turned on to a song called "Moonchild" by a group called M83 that is absolutely outstanding. A very dark, synthesizer-heavy instrumental sound is the best way I know to describe it. The CD just came out on 01/25 and I'm going to be picking it up very soon. I wanted to ask if anyone has heard anything else by them (or is it him? I'm clueless) and if so, what did you think of it? Also, for anyone else familiar with this style, can you make some more recommendations within that style? Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Man in Blak 0 Report post Posted February 7, 2005 I dug Dead Cities, Red Seas & Lost Ghosts, so I'd recommend that one. To use an incredibly nerdy reference, it reminded me of the background music for Phantasy Star IV, which isn't a bad thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henry Spencer 0 Report post Posted February 7, 2005 I have that album, and I enjoyed it, but there were moments where it reminded me of a synth-heavy My Bloody Valentine ripoff. So, yeah, check out Loveless by My Bloody Valentine, mostly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Edwin MacPhisto 0 Report post Posted February 7, 2005 ^ Loveless is certainly one of the best albums ever and if you like washes of sound, well, sink in and die happy. Dead Cities, Red Seas, & Lost Ghots is also wonderful in its own right and one of my favorite recent albums. I haven't listened to the new album, though I've got a burned copy of it sitting on top of my TV at the moment. M83 was two guys, but for this album is just one guy. Those French synthesizer duos just have a rough time not letting their egos clash, I guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
