Although I should try to contain my enthusiasm, I cannot refrain from
putting down on b&w that this single has been the freshest piece
of music I've heard in the last couple of months. Considering that I
spend a big amount of time searching and analysing music, this one was
the kind of discovery that makes me wanting to keep on searching. I
will be visiting free sample zone more often in the future. Congrats |

This album was born during his last concerts in Tel Aviv and of Chenard's
relation with the Israeli architect
Rinat Berckovitch. The Archisex title is a concept of dependance that
Rinat identifies between architecture and sex. The first songs underline
the idea of sex and the urban environment by a combination of rap funk
and soul. In Suck to blow, the style is less carnal, more sensual, as
if behind sex appeared the love. Loose You, with Nina Simone, is the
climax of this reversal. |

I
Vanunu: A wealth of sweet sounds, tasty and original riffs, spicy timing,
loads of great ideas, and dispassionate poetry in a language that I
don't understand. Keith @ eclecticmeme.com [read complete review] After reviewing Chenard Walcker's Middle compilation of classic jazz covers, I was really looking forward to hearing more from the man. So I was delighted to see his name on this one. But after having heard what assaulted my ears, I'm really surprised Chenard would even associate his name with this one. Miriam @ eclecticmeme.com [read complete review] This is definitively the best album from chenard walcker with roy chiky arad! best produced, best atmosphere and i think most political uncorrect, even if most of the listeners dont understand the hebrew language (like me). but i say: thank you mr. walcker and mr. arad (and everybody who was involved) for this album! - strictly download!

Small release, awesome though! Loved both tracks, especially the "blue"
one which's gonna be on me favorites for a long time. Keep it up! Tipsy Russell @ archive.org |

It's...
It's.. Soul, funk, ethnic.. It reminds me of work by Holger Czukay
taken into the 21st century. This i will play many more times and
bestow on all my friends. Thanks Mr. Chenard. Poesboes @ archive.org |

Recycle is quite an assortment
of styles and sounds, but with an overall ambient and mellow feel to it.
Compared to the average creative input for thirty three minutes of music,
this is off the scale. It is also what might be considered good come-down
music, if you're in the need for that sort of thing. Regardless, I can't
recommend enough that you go listen to it. Seriously, honestly. Logon.
Download. Listen. Kevin @ eclecticmeme.com [read complete review] |

Wowzers, check this stuff out if you've got an ear for complex and suprising
arrangements. This guy should probably be recognized in some kind of
a way, cause his work is exceptional. "Hands" is wonderful
(feels like a trip around the world inside your head), and its just
one record in a massive collection of work from this guy. I figure the
least I can do is offer some positive feedback since a TON of work has
obviously gone into this music, but much more importantly, its Very
Good Stuff. Made my ears real happy. Earwig @ archive.org Chenard does not have any fears of contact. In his Sampler really everything fits purely. From kickin' rare Groove Beats over Ethno singing from Africa up to ranzigen guitars one finds so quite everything in this pot. Only no typically electronic sounds. Mo @ phlow.net [read complete review] I am listening to the first piece, and am mesmerized-- completely pulled in. Various influences blend like the ingredients of a cool drink. . . a drink I will sip, finish, and enjoy. Mystified @ archive.org |

Giving R n'B a new dimension! This is without doubts a new sound, groovy,
exciting, very powerful. |

Without wandering into the mire of genre-labels, this record is unusual
and entertaining. This guy seems to have an expansive knowledge of music
and great technical expertise, in addition to being especially prolific.
This was the first record in his collection of many that I've listened
to, and I'm already downloading a couple more. My credentials as a critic
are simple - I listen to a LOT of electronic stuff on archive.org (I
post some too), and this record really stands out as a great piece of
work. Very complex, highly produced, suprising and funny at times. I
give it four starts only because I want to see how this one stacks up
to other records in his collection (may need to save the fives for other
reviews). Thanks Chenard - this one goes into my permanent collection. Earwig @ archive.org While mixing sonorities and colors, by confusing without confusion the kinds, Chenard Walcker shows thus that, contrary with the remarks made by the soft voice which has accompanied us throughout this fictionnal vynil, there is no passive listening.

Typed like a manic as I listened. Nice little eclectic and surprising
mix of sounds. I like. Axl @ archive.org |

Man, this album rocks. Listening to it makes me dance through my apartment
like a maniac... I never listen to mainstream R&B crap normaly,
but how Chenard Walcker transformed this into funky and uplifting tunes
is nothing but astonishing. Hats off. Highly recommended. Octoploid @ archive.org |

This is a beautifull, inspired as well as inspiring album. I love it,
love it, love it. |

What
more can I say? The man is sexy. You can feel it sliding, rolling and
grinding through every sensual release he offers the world. Oddio Overplay @ archive.org |

This
EP of Chenard Walcker is one of my favorites Splogman Jan @ archive.org Chenard Walcker, amazing. Asked him for a little taste. Instead he fed us all an entire meal. We are so fortunate, aren't we? Oddio Overplay @ archive.org |

OK,
I've been perusing the CW collection, and man this stuff is Killer.
Hard to describe, other than its fun to listen to, very well executed
and actually suggests a sense of humor at times. Im astounded that these
records aren't being reviewed more often - they are genuinely interesting,
to a degree that makes CW's work stand out in the crowd. Check it out,
and make it loud. Earwig @ archive.org |

Wow! I cannot give this track enough praise. The rhythm and vocals add
a romantic and sexual element to this track, very intimate. Check it
out! Ofir @ archive.org |

Le Fou is very nice album from Chenard Walcker, lots of interesting
sampling and experimenting here, a very adventurous piece of work. I
couldn't have thought of a better album to start with than Le Fou for
my journalistic endeavors. Roll on and give me more of this Mr. Walcker. Nially @ eclecticmeme.com [read complete review] |

Very good! Congratulations Chenard on starting your new netlabel. Long
Live the Free Sample Zone! CP McDill @ archive.org |

The title track's remix, God Bless Tha Hard Core, BLOWS the first two
right out of the water with body-rockin dancey beats and excellent use
of interesting sounds. The whole track shakes and wobbles its face at
you like Aretha Franklin on pills. This last diamond in a line of rolled
up balls of cling film brings this release by The Fuzz from a 2/10 to
an 8/10. |
