If anyone out there is an M83 fan, then you might have already noticed this, but I just noticed that their song, "Claudia Lewis" (on their album, "Hurry Up, I'm Dreaming") faintly reminds me of some of the synth-lines from "Thieves Like Us." If you haven't noticed it, listen to the song a few times and you will distinctly hear the New Order influence in that song...

If we listed every single song in the world that sounds a bit like JD or NO, or sounds influenced by them...it'd be quite a long thread.

Don't take it to heart :) Midnight City = best track of 2011 IMO

Midnight City = best track of 2011 IMO
I bought their "Before the Dawn Heals us" album back in '05 but then lost a bit of interest. At 2011's camden crawl I saw a band called Team Ghost, who i thought sounded a bit like M83, but only afterwards found out that Team Ghost's main man had been in M83. So as I understand it M83 used to be Anthony Gonzales and Nicholas Fromageau (does that translate as "cheesy"?).
So Mr Fromageau left at some point (2004?) and eventually re-surfaced as Team Ghost around 2010 (what was he doing from 2004 to 2010?), whilst Mr Gonzales kept the M83 name.
Is that about the size of it?Edited by user 26 June 2012 14:04:49(UTC)

Best track of 2011 (topped a bunch of polls as well including Pitchfork), best album of 2011, potentially the best gig of 2011 had I not been a bit unwell, deffo best gig of 2012 so far (last week in Edinburgh). How can you argue against an intro like this?..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vK5Cwy8oL58

Looked up that Midnight City song on You toob, yeah i liked it. sounds familiar, must have heard it somewhere Got a podcast of a 5 minute mini mix M83 did for Annie Mac on Radio 1, some good moments in there particularly when it mixes It's Not Over by Holy Ghost into It's My Life by Talk Talk Edited by user 03 July 2012 01:20:26(UTC)

Made In Chelsea, i have no idea what that is/ was must be BBC1 Idents then! Edited by user 03 July 2012 05:42:00(UTC)
