M83 - Dead Cities, Red Seas & Lost Ghosts [12", 2LP]


A classic M83 album, this DEAD CITIES, RED SEAS & LOST GHOSTS. Their second album, from the time when Nicolas Fromageau was still in the band (and Morgan Kibby wasn't yet). It features the singles Run Into Flowers, 0078h and America, plus the 17 minute long title track that is not on the CD version (elsewehere to be found only on the America 12" maxi).
There definitely are some really great tracks on this album (Gone being my favourite) but i prefer the warmer and richer sound his later albums have, and in general: songs with vocals. This is mainly instrumental stuff. But a must have for any M83 fan or actually anyone who wants to check out how this band developed over the years.
