- The synth lover will release special editions of his five full-lengths after his US tour this month.
Synthesizer sultan M83 is set to re-release his first five albums on vinyl.
Anthony Gonzalez, the man behind the project in the studio, has been famously remixed by plenty of electronic music luminaries, including Superpitcher, Boom Bip, Jackson and Yuksek and was including on Luciano's recent Fabric 41 mix. But despite these dance music run-ins, the vinyl market for his work has remained low apparently.
Or that's the thinking by Mute, we guess, based on their decision to re-release Gonzalez's work on vinyl. Whatever the reason, each full-length will be a 2x12 (aside from Digital Shades Vol. 1 which will appear for the first time on the format) and include a bonus CD. To promote the records, as RA previously reported, M83 will be going on a November tour throughout the United States.
Mute will release M83's Saturdays=Youth, Digital Shades Vol. 1, Before the Dawn Heals Us, Dead Cities, Red Seas, and Lost Ghosts and M83 on vinyl on November 25, 2008.
