Etienne De Crecy's been producing stuff for a while. Did you ever
pick up any of those Super Discount things that came out 3-4ish
years ago? That was him. I can recommend them, nice lush
production as you say, although rather repetitive. Work well in
mixes, though....
He's probably mates with Air, and has certainly remixed them
(check out the sexy boy 12"; his remix is ok, better than the
original. NB this 12" is worth buying just for the collaboration
'Jeanne' with Francoise Hardy)
