This release is a must-have for fans of M83, electronic music enthusiasts, and anyone interested in exploring the creative process behind a modern classic album.

  1. Stem 01: Kick & Snare (Heavily Compressed): The raw transient of the iconic 80s gated reverb snare.
  2. Stem 02: Hi-Hats & Percussion (The Shakers): Isolated, these reveal a Latin/Afrobeat shuffle that is completely buried in the final mix.
  3. Stem 03: Bass Synth (Moog Sub Phatty): Pure analog low-end. No midrange information. Perfect for bass swaps.
  4. Stem 04: Arpeggio Main (Left Channel): The bright, attack-heavy synth.
  5. Stem 05: Arpeggio Pad (Right Channel): The lush, slow-release counterpart.
  6. Stem 06: Lead Vocal (Anthony Gonzalez): Very dry. You can hear the room tone and the spit in his lips.
  7. Stem 07: The Children’s Chant (Isolated): No music underneath. Pure magic.
  8. Stem 08: Saxophone & FX Risers: Includes the raw sax mic feed and the white noise sweeps.

The Vocal Lead: Contrary to common belief, the high-pitched opening riff is not a synth; it is a heavily distorted sample of Anthony Gonzalez's voice. He layered his own vocals, pitch-shifted them, and applied heavy effects to create that nostalgic, "neon" texture.
