 ████            ô24 Heuresö û his first album, released in                ████
 ████            2004 by Goodlife û had Detroit as a central               ████
 ████            influence. It clearly illustrated OlivierÆs               ████
 ████            indebtedness to the hypnotic techno rhythms of            ████
 ████            Jeff Mills, UR and the deep electro dynamics              ████
 ████            of Other People Place, Drexciya or even Aux88.            ████
 ████            Much to the frustration of music lovers                   ████
 ████            worldwide, it took eight long years for him to            ████
 ████            finally release ôTides of Mindö via InFinΘ.               ████
 ████                                                                      ████
 ████            Why wait so long before completing a new                  ████
 ████            album? Maybe because he needed to find a new              ████
 ████            label, one with the potential to nurture his              ████
 ████            creative drive and growth. Ever since the                 ████
 ████            demise of Goodlife, the label he had founded              ████
 ████            with Alexandre Reynaud and The Hacker in the              ████
 ████            late 90s, Olivier had been looking for a new              ████
 ████            home, a structure on which to bounce off                  ████
 ████            ideas. A prerequisite for the never-complacent            ████
 ████            Olivier, who has been known to rework his                 ████
 ████            tracks right up to the very last minute. And              ████
 ████            also because he wanted a deeper sound for his             ████
 ████            productions, while also asserting his own,                ████
 ████            eclectic approach to the electronic genre.                ████
 ████                                                                      ████
 ████            Not surprising then that he chose his Lyon                ████
 ████            friend AgoriaÆs imprint, as the labelÆs                   ████
 ████            guiding principles are long-term artistic                 ████
 ████            development and open-mindedness about music.              ████
 ████            Following both his heart and his head, the                ████
 ████            decision was an easy one to make. The two                 ████
 ████            artists had known each other for many years               ████
 ████            and regularly shared the same stage in                    ████
 ████            back-to-backs crystallising their close                   ████
 ████            complicity. As for productions, Olivier                   ████
 ████            offered SΘbastien a remix of æDustÆ, a track              ████
 ████            they had co-produced, as well as the                      ████
 ████            previously unreleased æLess TimeÆ for                     ████
 ████            SΘbastienÆs Balance mix-CD, a track InFinΘ was            ████
 ████            later to release. Although Agoria has now                 ████
 ████            distanced himself from the label, the                     ████
 ████            Oxia-InFinΘ adventure continues with ôTides of            ████
 ████            Mindö.s                                                   ████

 ████            ôI guess IÆve had a wider range of influences             ████
 ████            on this album. I started listening to a lot               ████
 ████            more jazz, classical music and folk." It                  ████
 ████            doesn't mean Olivier has forgotten his earlier            ████
 ████            funk and soul influences, which give "Tides of            ████
 ████            Mind" that irresistible deep and groovy feel.             ████
 ████                                                                      ████
 ████            The jazz-referencing, relentless beat of æRue             ████
 ████            BrusherieÆ sees Olivier swing alongside                   ████
 ████            Richard Gow on piano. Occasionally too he                 ████
 ████            borrows certain aspects of early house, as is             ████
 ████            clear on æFlying Over TimeÆ and æHousewifeÆ,              ████
 ████            which features Miss Kittin on vocals. And yet             ████
 ████            he ventures into other sub-genres just as                 ████
 ████            gracefully. Alongside the more percussive                 ████
 ████            æLatitudeÆ and the melodic and techno                     ████
 ████            æNightfallÆ, track æHarmonieÆ is an emotional             ████
 ████            and modern deep-house gem in perfect harmony              ████
 ████            with the InFinΘ catalogue. Two eminent guests             ████
 ████            also feature on the album: Scalde, whose                  ████
 ████            vocals soar against the keyboard lines of the             ████
