Purple Confusion - The Sound of the Atom Splitting (2002)


One-off LP of glitchy, downtempo IDM from a group that featured, in its 6-member lineup, both original members of M83. Fractured, stuttering beats and gauzily layered synths, with a sense of beautiful, melancholic wonder that brings to mind the spirit -- and occasionally, the sound -- of post-rock.

Track listing:
1. Introduction
2. Return to Nassau
3. Running Behind Butterflies
4. Jeff Koons
5. Bliss
6. Secret Tragedy
7. The Endless Harmony of Your Cosmic Wonder
8. Dreaming of an Hypersomniac Princess
9. Breathing Underwater
10. The Cloud in Your Eyes
11. Falling in the Sea at the Speed of Snow Part I
12. Falling in the Sea at the Speed of Snow Part II

Things are sometimes tragic
