"Greg Davis and Sébastien Roux are back with their second
collaborative album following the acclaimed release "Paquet
surprise". "Merveilles", translated from the French word as
wonderland, describes the album very fitting as the songs have a
very illustrative quality. Where the previous album relied a bit
more on sweet melodies and quick changes "Merveilles" explores
different sound worlds in depth and illuminates a terrain of
diverse emotional scenarios. Silent passages of field recordings
are combined with subtle harmonic layers, interrupted by sudden
noise eruptions and contrasted by folk like guitar melodies and
very concrete sounds, often leaving the listener wondering what
the origin of this tone might be. "Merveilles" consists of edits
of live recordings made during a tour through Europe and the US
in 2005 - it is the pleasant proof that electronic music of such
richness in detail can be played and composed live." (label
