The Wire (UK)

Visual artist Poirier, from Montréal, enters the Techno minimalist frame with a simple yet generally effective combination of beats that shuffle and glide, looped melodic fragments and resonant expanses. The music works best where the beats remain relaxed and unhurried and the resonance is at its most cavernous, evoking an untroubled sashay through the void. Elsewhere there are sluggish passages where the material is stretched to thinness and strats to drag. (Julian Cowley)
