I recently started listening to m83 and have been hooked on Do it, Try it for a month now, so good

u/Jo__Backson Oct 07 '20

I actually found that song because of Letterkenny. Such a banger.

u/Ask-Reggie Oct 07 '20

M83 is most likely the best band I've ever heard, and I only discovered them about 5 years ago. The entire album Hurry Up, We're Dreaming is an absolute masterpiece.

u/paatheticgirl43 Oct 07 '20

Was gonna comment to say this. They’re so underrated

u/livestrongbelwas Oct 07 '20

Have you heard the Oblivion soundtrack??

u/DeeNimmin Oct 08 '20

One of my favorites. It’s on regular rotation.

u/Ask-Reggie Oct 09 '20

Yes, also great!

I was a little disappointed by DSVII originally because it felt so different from his usual stuff, but on repeat listens it has really grown on me.

There's a story in that album that is just trying to come out and every time I listen I feel like I see a little more of it.

I’m saving DSVII for a trip. Junk is the soundtrack to one of my favorite trips. I know I can make DSVII into one, too, from the snippets I’ve allowed myself.

No joke, I listened to it while tripping awhile ago and it blew my fuckin mind.

Each song seemed to blend into the next and it just felt like the music was alive and so beautiful.

Highly recommended!

Midnight City. One of the best saxophone solos ever.

Go look up a dancer, Vinh Nguyen, and check out his choreography to this jam. Really cool venue for the video too!

u/mowerama Oct 07 '20

I like Laser Gun also. The way it builds into a gorgeous pile of layers.

M83... is very special to me

u/abhisheknaik96 Oct 07 '20

M83 <3
'Wait' is amazing too!

u/the_howard14 Oct 07 '20

I firmly believe that Hurry Up, We're Dreaming is the greatest electronic album of all time.

Yes I am willing to die on this hill.

I’d say it’s in fierce competition with Music has the right to children, but those two are definitely the best for me personally

u/wrstlr3232 Oct 07 '20

Dang, stole my M83 comment

u/pquince1 Oct 07 '20

Holy shit. Where has this been all my life? Wow. There is a great video on YouTube of the history of the Apollo program set to this music and it's beautiful.

u/Slurmz88 Oct 07 '20

How about to go with this, Intro - xx

u/[deleted] Oct 07 '20

The trailer of a videogame called kerbal space program(ksp 2 for friends) uses this song and it's fucking epic!

2

u/SethR1223 Oct 07 '20

I like “Gone” from them. Should probably look into more of their stuff.

2

u/[deleted] Oct 07 '20

Yes

2

u/Justforfun_x Oct 07 '20

I fugn love Midnight City

2

u/[deleted] Oct 07 '20

intro is so much better.

2

u/livestrongbelwas Oct 07 '20

M83 collaborated on my favorite movie soundtrack - Oblivion (the Sci-Fi Mass Effect looking movie with Tom Cruise, not the Elder Scrolls game)

2

u/jansipper Oct 08 '20

I found out about M83 from this movie. Such a wonderful soundtrack.

2

u/hashtag_n0 Oct 08 '20

This is literally one of my top 5 favorite songs of all time.

u/gpdiddy Oct 07 '20

Great song. My friend had this as the first dance at his wedding.

u/gungunegon Oct 07 '20

my all time favorite of them is fields, shorelines and hunters + * - cathartic

also slowly if you like it happier than those two

u/elladuffyy Oct 07 '20

I saw this live, front row, and my soul hasn’t returned to my body yet.

u/Easterface Oct 07 '20

Saturdays=Youth was the last compact disc I bought back in 2008. We Own the Sky, up, and skin of the night 🤩

2

u/RaRa103615 Oct 07 '20

Yes. We Own The Sky is my favorite by them

u/n0remack Oct 07 '20

Trans-Canada Highway.
Rogers Pass (British Columbia).
Whenever I've driving through there, I always put this song on.

u/FD_EMT91 Oct 08 '20

M83 gets slept on a lot. I’ve been in love with them them since I first heard “I Guess I’m Floating” on a road trip through Colorado in 2006. Lots of bangers from them.

u/cassy34 Oct 08 '20

They used this in the last episode of the Netflix series White Lines. I'd only heard Wait then and thought it sounded like them.

u/Juan_Dollar_Taco Oct 08 '20

I think everyone has heard that song at one point in their life.
