The new hotness...
I just picked up the M83 joint that I mentioned in a previous post. It was recently released for US consumption. After several spins today I can say it could possibly be considered by some people (me), as a combination of Daft Punk, My Bloody Valentine, and Broken Social Scene. They are also electronic musicians from France as are Daft Punk, but they bring a whole new sound to the table. They have a much more epic, symphonic and sweeping sound. Enthralling in the way that Broken Social Scene can be. I can also see that it can be a great album for analyitcal thought as Kid A can be. Its not nearly as dance oriented as Daft Punk, however, possibly more emotionally rewarding. After approximately 3 listens of the entire album I think it is outstanding, very original, and worth purchasing.
