M83 – Reunion EP

| On 07, May 2012


Reunion is the second single released by Anthony Gonzalez and its creature M83 (for some geeks Messier 83) from Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming. A lot has been said about Gonzalez’ latest album: tedious for some (few), monumental for some others (many). Whatever your point about the album is, Reunion is surely one of its highest points.
Abandoned the shoegazing escapes of the first albums, Reunion is probably the track that most of all projects M83 among the 1980s’ revivalists, with its Duran-esque and Simple Minds’ echoes, and a chill-wave touch providing hypnagogic texture to the track, as if Washed Out could remix Saturdays-Youth.
The single is enriched by other six versions of the tune, among which the ones remixed by Dale Earnhardt Jr Jr and Mylo’s stand out in terms of power and originality.
