Product Introduction: Fans know that M83's soundtracks are as vital to Anthony Gonzalez's body of work as his own albums. He's brought his mastery of awe-struck atmospheres to sci-fi (Oblivion), dramas (You and the Night), and thrillers (Knife + Heart); with A Necessary Escape: Dakar Chronicles, he turns his focus to sports documentaries. Jalil Lesperts record of the Dakar Car Rally -- a punishing 14-day trek across desert terrain widely thought to be the toughest race in motorsports -- depicts sweeping landscapes and physical and psychological extremes reflected in the scores balance of endurance and exhilaration. "Strike Machine," a percolating piece that shifts from driving to hypnotic, offers both. Compared to M83s previous album, the elaborate Fantasy, A Necessary Escape is often noticeably restrained, but even brief cues like the flowing drones and strings of "Solid State Ricochet" feel panoramic. Its on the scores longer tracks, however, where Gonzalez artistry shines brightest. With its elongated electronics, subtle With its strings and wordless vocalizations, "A Necessary Escape (Part 2)" is epic but not bombastic, allowing its emotions to swell rather than erupt. When Gonzalez does let loose, it's deeply satisfying. "Echoes" is so fan-pleasingly massive and lush that it could be folded into an M83 live set; along with the tender yet pulse-pounding "Artificial Infinity," its one of several moments on the album that feels more alive than Fantasy did. Spotlighting the beauty in this often brutal race, A Necessary Escape: Dakar Chronicles, like Mogwais Zidane: A 21st Century Portrait, is a sports documentary score with plenty of ambition and even wider appeal. ~ Heather Phares --- The soundtrack for the upcoming European-focused film "Dakar: Race Against the Desert," which explores the world's most grueling race, the Dakar Rally. Physical formats include CD, standard LP, and limited edition color LP. This fourth album soundtrack from M83 was recorded in France and the United States by M83 guru Anthony Gonzalez and M83 regulars Joe Berry and Clément Ribes. Directed by French actor and director Jalil Lespert (Yves Saint Laurent, etc.), the film depicts the Dakar car rally, a 9,000-kilometer, 14-day race across unforgiving desert terrain. Following legends like Sébastien Loeb, champion Nasser Al-Attiyah, and pioneers Carlos Sainz and Stéphane Peterhansel, this film explores the world's most grueling race on an unprecedented scale.
