Ok, lets say "M83 is the best non-underground electronic music out there right now"
although, with Four Tet, UNKLE and Autechre still out there, I wouldnt even say that.
and thats just the commercial stuff....
how was i comparing m83 to paul oakenfeld?
i like four tet, but i think unkle's latest stuff is pretty inconsistent ... my favorites would include shadow's earlier stuff, blue states, royksopp, air, zero7, amon tobin, aphex twin, a whole grab bag of "not underground but not mainstream" stuff
when i first heard M83 it was like a breath of fresh air, i hadn't heard other people doing what they were doing, i definitely don't like their latest album as much as i did their first, but its still pretty solid ...
