2003年的破格大作Dead Cities, Red Seas & Lost Ghosts,正式让M83成为所有Indie Kids的新宠儿。专辑不但成功打入美国市场,在世界各地也掀起一股Shoegazer Retro风潮。适逢Air沈潜(当时Talkie Walkie仍未推出),其它电音大团多萎迷不振,M83遂与其它新世代的电音新星如Manitoba、Four Tet、Boards of Canada等顺势接起了电音摇滚的旗帜,让曾被Chemical Brothers、Prodigy炸轰着脑袋的人们再度觅得足以信仰的新声音。
今年的新作Before the Dawn Heals Us虽难突破Dead Cities的格局,但基本盘还是守住了。Nicolas的离团使得M83成为了Anthony的个人Project,如此一来音乐的一致性更为密合。新专辑加重了Vocal的比例,整体氛围趋向早期Kraut Rock的硬派精神。迷蒙甜美的吉他音墙当然仍是主角,但Anthony赋予曲子更幽深的结构的企图也是极为明显的。
