There’s so much monumental ‘hairs standing up on the back of the neck’ material on that album for me but… I was about to say there’s some filler on there too but after a quick skip through the tracks I really need to revisit and re-evaluate that statement.

Drags a bit at the end doesn’t it? Or does it? Echoes Of Mine, my word!

It’s a magnificent body of work. There’s no denying the time and effort spent on it I would say it’s a solid 8/10 album. There a few duff tracks. The frog one springs to mind. But yeah I’m gonna order the vinyl.

Be interesting to see the 20 year anniversary etc album sleeves.

I guess they will reproduce the image if they do future reissues.

Excellent video too!

I unashamedly love the frog one.

I think because so many of the tracks went on to get used in films/TV it’s feels more recent, Mr Robot used Outro in its series finale only a couple of years ago.

On Apple Music the album only appears with the new artwork now…

He’s up to something. A clip has been posted on Instagram.

Quite like this bit Deerhuntery in some respects. Even if I don’t like a full M83 album there is normally at least a couple of decent songs on it

I’m down with this!

Sounds promising, the last decent M83 release (for me) was the Oblivion OST 10 years ago.

Like this more than other stuff he’s done in recent years, without being bowled away… particularly as a lead single it’s a bit transitiony. Still, sounds like a return to what he’s good at at.

This is fine, but it’s all a bit “vibey”, no? Really hope there are some actual songs on this new record, and not just endless incidental type link tunes.

I like that wall of sound type of sound with all the layers in the latter half of the track. Very immersive almost like Mogwai or Sigur Ros but it’s not a traditional track in the sense of it having verses and a big chorus. I could do with a few of those tracks too but there’s room for both styles.

Am I the only person that absolutely adored Junk?

I like the new one.

Junk was really patchy but has some amazing songs on it
