one of the best albums of 2006 .....a breathtaking sonic landscape
7 Dec 2006
Format:Audio CD
I love finding albums like Benoit Pioulard's Précis. Its one of those albums that you wont ever hear on the radio, but once stumbled upon - you realize the treasure it has in store. I would consider this album to be a headphone album, in which the experience of listening to it on headphones makes a world of difference. You notice every beat, ever spoken word and with closing your eyes this album brings you to another place. It is beautiful, serene, intimate, and nostalgic. And with the use of old recorded vocals and ambient sounds, Pioulard creates a soundscape that walks a fine line of joy and sadness that is brilliantly deep. It's rare that one finds a debut album that is so impressive as this one and that is perfectly crafted from beginning to end that flows beautifully. Precis acts like an experience, a surreal dream haze that you'll never want to let go.

Incredible debut!
9 Nov 2006
Format:Audio CD
It seems as though Thomas Meluch (aka Benoit Piolard) has been recording noises and fragments of music all of his 22 years, and maybe he has, but this is the first the general public has heard his work. It is breath taking, powerful, and ever-changing. Everytime I listen this album I hear something different, it is almost like the music is alive.

Incredible
19 Mar 2008
Format:Audio CD
On his first full length for the venerated Kranky label...21 year old Michigan native Thomas Meluch, who records under the rather less mundane pseudonym of Benoit Pioulard, coated his infectious three minute pop songs in a haze of electronics and found sound, thus inviting the listener into a beautifully realised sonic world which is at once romantic and powerfully emotional. My personal favourite record of 2006 and I have to say I cannot wait for his follow-up, which has been recorded and is due for release in the second half of 2008. "Precis" is an essential album, which I consider to be bafflingly underrated by some.
