After starting out as a duo, M83's Anthony Gonzalez released the third album, 'Before the Dawn Heals Us', as a solo artist on 24 January 2005.

The epic final track was first used as the backing for the Spike Jonze-directed intro sequence to Lakai's 2007 feature-length skateboarding film Fully Flared, which blew the minds of an entire generation.
