You've been reading Pitchfork for how long exactly? I mean, I think both of those qualities are pretty sewn-in to fabric of Pitchfork's reputation/infamy/unpopularity around ILX.

And there's nothing wrong with calling them out on something, even if it's been done many times before. I actually revived this on this thread in order to support the new M83 record in my own little way.

"Don't Save Us From the Flames" is starting to sound like something from the "Flashdance" soundtrack to me. It's still awesome, though.

(the cover, that is. not the music. which i haven't heard yet and am oddly apprehensive about.)

Better than the last album though.

Brilliant. Now I *really* like them.
― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 30 January 2005 23:02 (nineteen years ago) link
i don't know though because bits of the album sound like the score to blade runner too, so...
― firstworldman (firstworldman), Monday, 31 January 2005 01:13 (nineteen years ago) link
but the 1st and 3rd track are 100% epic.

Yeah, there was something kind of cringeworthy about them. I liked the album, though.

An interesting comparison. Cities etc. struck me as well-meaning but ultimately dull on record, this in contrast actually feels *alive* for lack of a better term.

I think that's the only thing that bugs me about them really - a lot of this and the last album seems very, well... "by numbers"(?). Boards of Canada, and even bands like Autechre manage to make their music sound like it was composed by human beans but this seems very sequenced and automatic.

It's lovely, though the original may be even better.
