Benoît Pioulard recommends:

NUNU
by Clever Austin

An album for any time of day, as far as I'm concerned -- meticulous treatments and an impressive degree of detail for something that could still be called 'minimal'. Benoît Pioulard

Limitless Frame
by Ulla

Ulla's knack for combining wildly different textures into something so perfectly cohesive, is a constant wonder. I wish this record were 10 hours long. Benoît Pioulard

Online Architecture
by SYMBOL

Chris is a master of mood, and his solo work is some of my favorite music of the past decade.. drifty and melodic, and always with a healthy analog glow. See also "I Am Humble and Powerful". Benoît Pioulard
