Autres Directions is an exquisitely detailed sonic trip through rural France that uses field recordings to provide environmental texture: the toy-like melody of 'Se Reveiller' is underpinned by the rumble of a ferry's engines; insects chirrup again sinuous synth loop on 'Le Chateau' while geese shriek under the specral distress call of 'L'ancienne Grange'; the drone of a low-flying aircraft in 'Lanverec' becomes a black veil slowly descending across the countryside. Bearing comparison with such Eno classics as On Land, this is a beautiful album of intensley visual music. Joe Banks, Shindig
