The double album as widescreen dream: Hurry Up, We're Dreaming sequences M83's shoegaze-synth maximalism into one continuous adolescent reverie, with "Midnight City"'s saxophone supernova as the era's defining synth-pop single. Gonzalez aimed for Smashing Pumpkins scale and landed his own monument. Eighties nostalgia transcended into actual vision.
