In 2001, M83 were a vaguely shoegazey dreamsynth French outfit releasing a debut self-titled album. By 2011, they’d transformed into an epic double album releasing group, capable of unleashing a cathedral of electronic sound.

Unrecorded, from 2003’s Dead Cities, Red Seas & Lost Ghosts will probably remain forever my favourite M83 track, but then I do a) like to back the underdog, and b) just need to casually drop in that I was there, you know, in the early days, before they were big…

The endpoint of this journey is a musical triptych of three singles from 2011′s Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming. The epic fun starts in Midnight City, and continues with Reunion. Wait concludes the story. Enjoy!
