Mr. Seven Posted January 6, 2012 Author Share Posted January 6, 2012 I don't know how much credibility I have but I would hope people would give the song whirl. When a friend reccommended it, he said it reminded him of 'The Rat', one of my top ten favourite songs. And while initially I could see where he was coming from in relation to its energy and aggressive nature, it took quite a few listens before it really hit me. It's just an incredible song. The album is brilliant too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 It's the gift that keeps on giving, here's another song by Azealia Banks. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d-d-d-dAz Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 I genuinely think Wu Lyf hear something completely different when they play their music... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Seven Posted January 12, 2012 Author Share Posted January 12, 2012 Figure it makes sense to put it here as I've slagged her off quite a bit in this thread. Lana Del Rey's 'Born To Die' is actually not bad. Leaps ahead of 'Video Games'. Her interview in the new issue of Q is pretentious garbage though.

I read some of that interview, sort of confirmed my worst fears. I'll probably give the album a listen to once the unbearable hype dies down. She is just the hipster Pixie Lott though.

Moderators neil Posted January 30, 2012 Moderators Share Posted January 30, 2012 Shameless bump just to say how much I've gotten into M83 since this thread. For that alone I can forgive Mr. Seven for the WU LYF entries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted January 30, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted January 30, 2012 Yeah, I'm another M83 convert courtesy of Sev. Bloody awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Seven Posted January 30, 2012 Author Share Posted January 30, 2012 It's reaaaaaaaaaaaaally odd having been into M83 for so many years to hear their/his stuff being used in ads used to big up BBC and Sky's TV schedules. Still, he/they have deserved to break through to the mainstream for a long time and 'Midnight City' is a great way to do it. It's kinda cute that it might lead people to picked up Hurry Up, We're Dreaming as their first full length, it being an immersive double album and all. Â You guys should just download everything. I don't think there's a more consistent artist working today, outside of Trent Reznor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators neil Posted January 30, 2012 Moderators Share Posted January 30, 2012 Yeah, I'd listened to them on the links here, liked it, then forgot about it. Wasn't until I heard it used on TV recently that I was like "this sounds like that M83" and made a point to actually get their shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted January 30, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted January 30, 2012 I think Kim & Jessie was my starting point with M83 and I'm working steadily backwards with them. Aside from the stuff that's been in your lists, Sev, if there's any other electronic stuff like that, French or otherwise (preferably French, though) that you would recommend then let me know.

Moderators neil Posted January 30, 2012 Moderators Share Posted January 30, 2012 I'm not Mr. Seven, and this is from 2010, but I highly recommend giving anything by "Baths" a listen. His album is top, and his other projects "Geotic" are also really good. All good electronic ambient kind of stuff from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted January 30, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted January 30, 2012 Just listened to Aminals. Liked that, will be taking more. Ta, neil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Houchen Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Rather criminally, I only picked up the latest M83 album yesterday and fuck me, it's beautiful. Good arrows, Sev. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted February 4, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted February 4, 2012 I listened to Azealia Banks' 212 after reading this list, it's tremendous. I only know a few of the others on here so I may have to (rather belated) go through these. Starting with M83. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted February 6, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted February 6, 2012 So I listened to Hurry Up, We're Dreaming today and it's a great album, isn't it? Like Sev, I'm not sure it needed to be a double album and I've never seen the point in 1 minute filler tracks but what a great piece of work it is. Â Tomorrow - Saturdays = Youth.
