I love 80's synth-pop. It's even better when it has some saxophone mixed in. When I heard the song "Midnight City" by the French band M83 I was instantly hooked. I bought their two-disc album Hurry Up, We're Dreaming last night and I listened to it while I prepared an exam. What I love about it is that it sounds like the 80's without reverting completely back to a pure 80's sound. There's not much there lyrically, but like Duke Ellington, or Abraham Lincoln once said, "If it sounds good, it is good." (Hey, this is the internet, we don't have to cite sources or even have sources.) Dig on these songs from M83, the first two videos a part of a mini-sci-fi story in images. The third one is unrelated, but apparently the band has a penchant for sci-fi as well as synthesizers. I can dig it!
