"Michel Amato aka The Hacker admits he often listened to The Ramones while writing his new album. Besides an intelligent use of minimalism, you will not find any other link with these New York punks. The Electroclash that had appeared with Miss Kittin is gone, the rhythm has changed, evolved with his influences twisted into a unique, sharp but smooth sound. More accessible?? Leftovers from EBM here, New Beat there but always dance-oriented even when mixed with his typical cold use of keyboard. On 'Flesh & Bone,' the first single of the album, the velvet voice of the American Perspects (aka Le Car) emerges on top of the dancefloor bass-line. 'Traces' is a meeting between the ethereal voice of Mount Sims and a cold Kraftwerk. Miss Kittin is there
'of course otherwise there would have been a domestic argument'
says The Hacker. The princess of vice puts a freaky voice on the psychedelic techno 'Masterplan.' On the other instrumental tracks The Hacker shows his evil side, reminiscent of raves and hardcore with 'The Brutalist' or 'Village Of The Damned.' But we find he is more than that with a Tim Burtonesque 'Electronic Snowflakes' or with the end track 'Sleeping Machines,' a little ambient and woolly opera. Everywhere there is rage, a dark rigid sound that contrasts with the welcoming dream-like themes.
Reves Mecaniques
sets a new vision for techno. When the club becomes a den of romanticism."

"The Hacker is one of today's most talented and innovative artists of electronic music. He created some fun '80s electro-pop with his friend Miss Kittin. DJ Hell loved their productions and signed them on his label Gigolo in '97. With the beginning of Electroclash in 2001 they became hype all over the world! Parties everywhere, talked about by Karl Lagerfeld and Elton John amongst others, The Hacker is one of the most sought-after producers, remixing for Mark Almond (Soft Cell), Fisherspooner, Air and Nitzer Ebb. This is a groovy electro techno sound, featuring tracks from Mount Sims, Ellen Allien, Front 242, Juan Atkins, Sleeparchive, The Hacker..."
