    [A] wonderous first solo offering outside of Air. [Oct 2015, p.76]

    A lovely, stimulating debut album, Contrepoint is a beautifully written love letter to musical history and creativity.

    Out of something very, very old has come something deliciously new.

    The Frenchman leaves enough space for everything to live harmoniously together. Melodies and countermelodies run free, but nothing ever feels overblown or unnecessary.

    The album is indulgent, but put together with so much detail and care that there really should be a film made around it.

    Such is the breadth of ideas and chutzpah here that you can even forgive Godin for having the temerity to name one track Bach Off. [Oct 2015, p.89]
