where's the love for the m83 track

― Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 24 November 2003 23:37 (twenty-two years ago)

c'mon i just got it 2 days ago, i didn't want to gush

― hector (hector), Tuesday, 25 November 2003 00:26 (twenty-two years ago)

The M83 thing is brilliant, do you know anything else about them, Ronan? I downloaded the original and it's not as good :(

― Sonny A. (Keiko), Tuesday, 25 November 2003 01:05 (twenty-two years ago)

yes it is!!

― fiddo centington (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 25 November 2003 01:49 (twenty-two years ago)

anyway, they're not a dance act.

― fiddo centington (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 25 November 2003 01:49 (twenty-two years ago)

when i put in "M83 and benoit villeneuve" into google there you were at number 2 Ronan so you must be giving big love to this track.

by the way did you ever live in london?

― hector (hector), Tuesday, 25 November 2003 02:40 (twenty-two years ago)

Having reevaluated, the original is probably "as good".. it just wasn't what I was expecting when I downloaded it, so I didn't give it the attention it needed. I still prefer the version on the mix - i need that bouncy rhythm, I don't have time for build-ups!

― Sonny A. (Keiko), Tuesday, 25 November 2003 02:55 (twenty-two years ago)

I got the CD and it is fucking ace.

But it made me realise how ignorant I am about this kind of music -- I don't even know what to *call* it: it's some sort of house, right? (and yeah yeah names aren't important, but they at least send you to the right section of the record shop). Forgive my ignorance, but where would I go to find more stuff like it?

― alext (alext), Tuesday, 25 November 2003 11:31 (twenty-two years ago)

haha Hector I wrote about it on my blog so maybe! Yeah I lived in London for about 2 months in 2002. I am a frequent visitor also, why do you ask?

― Ronan (Ronan), Tuesday, 25 November 2003 11:44 (twenty-two years ago)

i'm w. sonny on the m83 issue.

― mitch lastnamewithheld (mitchlnw), Tuesday, 25 November 2003 11:56 (twenty-two years ago)

"w. sonny" ??

i've seen a lot a raves for m83 off-ILM. primarily by indie types (i make no judgements in saying that).

― zebedee (zebedee), Tuesday, 25 November 2003 12:57 (twenty-two years ago)

I lived there for a while back in the mid 90s or so and met the only person I have ever known named Ronan. So I was just looking for the degrees of separation. Last time I saw him there was 98 though so it must not be you.

He was also way into dance music.

― hector (hector), Tuesday, 25 November 2003 21:03 (twenty-two years ago)

three weeks pass...

listened to this a few weeks ago to little effect.

tried it again today; track 1 ("i think about you (Geiger Mix)") is crushing me.

― pb, Thursday, 18 December 2003 21:48 (twenty-two years ago)

five months pass...

This is getting a new life on the walkman and might take me through the Spring. Awesome awesome.
I've been trying to mix Bring Me Closer with We Need a Resolutin but somehow it doesn't work that well..

― Baaderoni (Fabfunk), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 11:20 (twenty-two years ago)

well, i still prefer the 1st craig richards cd (fabric 15). I still think 'old school baby' is just ok-ish.

― ambrose (ambrose), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 11:30 (twenty-two years ago)

eleven months pass...

I heard this at a HIPSTER COFFEE SHOP yesterday.

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 2 May 2005 17:16 (twenty-one years ago)

I knew that I knew it, but I couldn't place it right away. It sounds better with headphones, I think.

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 2 May 2005 17:18 (twenty-one years ago)

as opposed to reading about it on a hipster message board?

― Matos-Webster Dictionary (M Matos), Monday, 2 May 2005 17:36 (twenty-one years ago)

yes

Right at divsion and damen in chicago, this hipster coffee shop can get your buzz on. Serving some of the strongest brews of regular coffee I've ever had, while being super tasty at that, Jinx brings a level of laid back that is so desperately needed at times. They also serve bagels and sandwiches for those in need of some grubbin. You can catch me there most mornings on my way to work or sometimes in the afternoons when I need my fix. Sometimes they have small shows for bands. Come check it out, mehbe you'll see me there (but you won't know who I am )

i'll know who you are

I dunno man, last time I was there (which was a while back when I lived in the hood), I caught a real "hipper-than-thou" hipster vibe from the place...
The coffee was good. The food was good. But the people seemed kinda snobby. Or maybe I'm just not cool enough.

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 2 May 2005 17:53 (twenty-one years ago)

one year passes...

I have listened to this six times in the last two days. the westbam track - actually that whole first four-five tracks, just fantastic.

is bookending your mix with two versions of the same track sort of cheating a bit?

― genital hyphys (haitch), Monday, 21 August 2006 12:11 (nineteen years ago)

ten months pass...

THIS IS SO GOOD U GUISE

― max, Thursday, 19 July 2007 02:32 (eighteen years ago)

am i the only person who couldn't get into this mix?

apart from the fantastic jackson mix of m83, i find the track selection pretty dull. sorry.

― sam500, Thursday, 19 July 2007 07:02 (eighteen years ago)

you are not forgiven

― deej, Thursday, 19 July 2007 07:12 (eighteen years ago)

probably my favourite mix ever, this

― lex pretend, Thursday, 19 July 2007 08:26 (eighteen years ago)

it really is amazing (sorry vahid)

― Tim F, Thursday, 19 July 2007 10:38 (eighteen years ago)

Still the best Fabric mix by a fucking mile.

― Matt DC, Thursday, 19 July 2007 10:53 (eighteen years ago)

Which track actually has "Isn't it amazing" as a vocal?

I *LOVE* this so much, and thank you ILM 2003 for introducing me to it.

― Jamie T Smith, Thursday, 19 July 2007 11:01 (eighteen years ago)

it is really sweet

― babedad, Friday, 20 July 2007 02:00 (eighteen years ago)

i prefer immer to this i think

― creme1, Friday, 20 July 2007 02:02 (eighteen years ago)

i prefer immer 2 to both of them!

― tricky, Friday, 20 July 2007 02:19 (eighteen years ago)

listened to this yesterday after seeing this thread. i believe i shall do so again now.

― haitch, Friday, 20 July 2007 03:59 (eighteen years ago)

in response to the first thread...

yes. it is good.

― Hamildan, Friday, 20 July 2007 16:22 (eighteen years ago)

Immer 2 deserves more attention (and a second chance or three).

It lacks the immediate first impression of Immer as well as the easier accessibility of Fabric 13, but Immer 2's so shimmerier and slinkier.

― dblcheeksneek, Friday, 20 July 2007 18:04 (eighteen years ago)

immer 2 took a few second chances with me, but it is now my favorite of the three (the other two are still tip top obv.). it is really good late at night on headphones.

― tricky, Friday, 20 July 2007 18:22 (eighteen years ago)

four years pass...

Man, this (now 9 year old!) mix is still SOOOOOO AMAZING.

― EDB, Wednesday, 27 June 2012 14:31 (thirteen years ago)

this mix is the best

― Michael B Higgins (Michael B), Wednesday, 27 June 2012 14:50 (thirteen years ago)

who is creme1

― am0n, Wednesday, 27 June 2012 14:56 (thirteen years ago)

six months pass...

Happy New Years... 2 hours to go for me but Killerteppich just came on and people are having a good time.

This is probably my favourite mix album ever.

Is his Mantasy album any good? (Or is there conversation about it elsewhere?)

― djh, Tuesday, 19 March 2013 21:03 (thirteen years ago)

Mantasy isn't very exciting but I like it just fine.

Recommend his RA podcast from the end of last year, like it better than the album, up there with his older mixes.

― Plasmon, Tuesday, 19 March 2013 23:51 (thirteen years ago)

Read a description of it as "middle aged" which actually made it appeal.

― djh, Thursday, 21 March 2013 18:10 (thirteen years ago)

Mantasy is a nice sort of Sundayish album to sit and read to but it's not really house music, until you get to the final third at least. It's beautifully produced and there's some lovely stuff on it though.

Cosign the recommendation for the RA podcast though, that's essential.

― Matt DC, Thursday, 21 March 2013 19:19 (thirteen years ago)

Ta. Any recommendations on tracks to here from Mantasy? The couple I've played have been a bit ... nothing, really.

Will hunt down the podcast.

― djh, Thursday, 21 March 2013 20:37 (thirteen years ago)

you might want this too, if you fancy a 12-hour michael mayer mix at all

― Tioc Norris (LocalGarda), Thursday, 21 March 2013 20:39 (thirteen years ago)

Thanks. Where's a good place to find "archived" RA podcasts?

― djh, Thursday, 21 March 2013 20:41 (thirteen years ago)

most of them are up on soundcloud - http://soundcloud.com/medellinstyle/michael-mayer-resident-advisor

― just sayin, Friday, 22 March 2013 09:49 (thirteen years ago)

The RA mix is pretty good. Mentioned a couple times in other Mayer threads but his mix for John Peel was pretty great albeit short. I re-uploaded it since the blog I found it on had it on Megaupload. <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?ydgy868f9f9cy81";>Link</a> and <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/johnpeel/tracklistings/peel_archive_shtml.shtml?20030318";>tracklisting</a>.

― rawr, Saturday, 23 March 2013 22:15 (thirteen years ago)

Blah. Link and tracklisting.

― rawr, Saturday, 23 March 2013 22:16 (thirteen years ago)

The Peel mix is a 10/10 classic for sure.
