    For his fourth album, which fuses poo, techno and retro-futuristic disco with deftness, direction and a thick slice of humour. [Feb 2017, p.95]

    Voyage, ironically, takes us nowhere we haven't been, but has a blast revisiting Vitalic's favourite haunts. [Feb 2017, p.119]

    Voyager is awash with cascading Jean-Michel Jarre-ish Eurosynths and pulsing Moroder-esque Rhythms. But Arbez-Nicolas eventually diluted his plan by adding contemporary beats, noises and guest vocalists. [Feb 2017, p.38]

    All in all, Voyager is both a pleasant surprise and an addiction.

    As it is, the high points still make this essential, but shorn of a few tracks, this album would be so much better.

    Voyager’s attempts to pay homage to disco ancestors while paring his maximalism way back make it all feel like a dance night in an unfurnished room, all speakers and no lighting.
  7. 40
    The duet between Miss Kittin’s android vocal and a machine voice on the engagingly dystopian “Hans Is Driving” seems devoid of contact, a sad lament from a world bereft of humans. But it’s Arbez-Nicolas’s magpie ways that leaves a bad taste.

    Sounds pretty slick.
    sounds fresh and cool and it is a remembrance of the old days of French techno.
    they sound a bit loose in the style but
