DESCRIPTION:
Vocal Electro Synth Pop / Leftfield On Ltd Edition Blue Viny;l & Includes Unreleased Track Altered Love
2" single release of "Go!" by M83. A standout track on M83's 2016 release "Junk", this 12" single contains the title track plus one unreleased track and two remixes (including the Animal Collective/Deakin remix) all on blue vinyl.
Axe master Steve Vai once strapped individual lasers to each of his fingers, so that his hands would flash in the dark as he wailed away on some conceptually impenetrable solo. He eventually decided that light-up fingers weren’t enough, and upgraded to an LED-lined butcher’s smock. The spirit of such a decision, I think, is realizing that if you’re going to play music that sounds like someone’s idea of the neon ‘80s, you may as well look like a Tron extra. And Vai, whose Twitter picture shows him holding a glowing treble clef, doesn’t seem the self-conscious type.
Anthony Gonzalez is another musician who’s never been afraid of adjectives like "epic" or "cheesy," and whose

M83 is a French-American electronic music project formed in Antibes, Alpes-Maritimes in 2001 and currently based in Los Angeles, United States. The band's primary member is vocalist, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and record producer Anthony Gonzalez. The band was initially formed as a duo also with Nicolas Fromageau; it has released eight albums and three soundtracks, including the Grammy Award-nominated Hurry Up, We're Dreaming.
Gonzalez and Fromageau parted ways shortly after touring their second album Dead Cities, Red Seas & Lost Ghosts. Gonzalez records primarily on his own, with other artists as guest musicians. The band is signed to Mute Records and found international success in 2011 with the single "Midnight City". Their most recent album Fantasy was released on 17 March 2023.
Anthony Gerard Gonzalez (born March 13, 1980) grew up in Antibes, France together with his brother Yann. His family had a great interest in football and Gonzalez had trials with AS Cannes, while his maternal grandfather is the French international Laurent Robuschi. At the age of 14 he got injured and turned to music instead after his parents bought him a guitar. Gonzalez developed his interest in music and American culture while at secondary school. Together with Fromageau he formed a post-rock outfit called My Violent Wish.
At the age of 17, Gonzalez bought a synth to record a demo, which he sent to a number of French labels. When the Paris-based Gooom Records appeared interested, he recruited Fromageau to "help me because I didn't feel like I had the shoulders to carry the project on my own". The band is named after the galaxy of the same name.
The band's musical aesthetic is characterized by extensive use of reverb effects and lyrics spoken softly over loud instruments. Gonzalez has been inspired by aspects of the American Dream and his songs have been outlined as themed around "adult-scripted teen dreams". Inspiration for the 1980s style found in much of Gonzalez’s music includes bands such as My Bloody Valentine, Pink Floyd, and Tangerine Dream. Between various electronic music properties and album artwork, M83’s style includes a mix of both contemporary pop and 1980s dream pop. Read more on Last.fm.
