«Ce double album sorti de nulle part et inattendu est la bonne surprise de cette fin d'année.» ................................................................................................
www.dprp.net (GB/GEOFF FEAKES)
«Hors Portée by Chardeau has to be one of the most intriguing collections to come my way for some time.Stylistically, the sound created includes progressive rock, jazz, classical, ambient electronics, techno, and world music influences. A bizarre combination for sure, but it works for the most part. Many of the tracks have a rich, almost romantic quality ... I’ve made references to the excellent performances throughout both reviews, but a final mention has to go to the sophisticated compositions of Chardeau »................................................................................................
www.rock-impressions.com (Italie)
«Chardeau è un musicista insolito,Difficile riassumere nello spazio di una recensione le caratteristiche che contraddistinguono il linguaggio musicale di questo artista che si mostra subito profondo e molto colto, la musicalità di Chardeau è molto più coinvolgente rispetto alla media dei suoi compatrioti.Fascino ed eleganza si sposano in un vocabolario per menti raffinate, che dalla musica vogliono di più! è davvero riduttivo offrire delle indicazioni, perché non possono assolutamente dare la misura della proposta di questo artista, che si dimostra molto più geniale di quanto possa trasparire ad un ascolto superficiale.» ......................................................................................

Imagine you sit in a train and watch the landscapes passing. You see beautiful parks taking the place of industrial sites followed by another view of a beautiful landscape complete with forests and lakes eventually leading to the outskirts of a city, and so on...this is how the album's music develops.................................................................................................
> WWW.MUSICINBELGIUM.COM (Belgique)
«En résumé ces albums excellents, défiant toute classification formelle, forment un tout indissociable pour l’amateur de fusion mais aussi pour le mélomane curieux avide de nouveauté. ****».................................................................................................
WWW.RAGAZZI-MUSIC.DE (Allemagne)
«Des motifs de rêveries, mélancoliques, éthérés et doucement qui s'élargissent toutefois avec quelque chose d'entêtant et agréablement dénué de kitch. Beaucoup atteint des sommets de beauté...Une haleine de jazz-fusion, new-age ésotérique, pop d'ambiance, chanson douce et touches de hard rock se complètent...» .................................................................................................
> Alain NEAU, programmateur de Radio France
«Chardeau est avant tout un artiste. A chaque titre, on marche sur une étoile du boulevard de la Pop, du Rock et du Jazz... Et on se surprend à penser à : John Mac Laughlin, Carlos Santana, Jethro Tull, E.L.O, Weather Report, Jerry Garcia, Chicago... et bien d'autres. J'ai vraiment craqué pour cet album................................................................................................
>Gildas LEFEUVRE (MUSIC INFO HEBDO)
«Un album ambitieux, d’une grande musicalité, qui sert au mieux l’univers singulier de cet auteur-compositeur-interprète inclassable et qui décloisonne les genres.» .............................................................................................
> NUNA (www.proggnosis.com) (GB)
«So this is a modern piece of work. A Rock experience that shows not only eclecticism but also huge attitude and passion. A sonic voyage that may be a great interest to those who like good rock’n roll enriched by jazz, classic music, pop and prog, I like it a whole lot !».................................................................................................
> WWW.SEAOFTRANQUILITY.ORG (GB)
«Chardeau has done a wonderful job of writing some really fines melodies. As for the instruments which give a very rich and lush sound. "Instrumental selection" is a solid listen and a good representation of modern french prog rock and fusion styles."Highlight" instantly stikes a chord. A very classy and enjoyable album.».................................................................................................
> J.P GAVARD-PERRET (www.plumart.com)
«Chardeau ne possède pas encore la place qu'il devrait tenir... Hors Portée est un opus à écouter d’urgence tant par le haut standing de sa production que par l’univers envoutant qu’il propose. Il est rare en effet d’être confronté à une telle découverte qui honore la musique made in France habituellement réduite à de trop pâles copies anglo-saxonnes ou américaines.».................................................................................................
> HTTP://DMME.NET (GB)
«From celestial to down to earth. Freefalljump but no groundbreaking : “Instrumental Selection” feels like a work of Genius, a deliciously seamless flow of music. The music just lifts you up on Himalayan level of ecstasy and tosses you down only to catch you before the mood hits the ground. What a span !»..................................................................................................
> Yves JAVIER Datas department executive (International Manager)
«"Hors-Portée" est un projet très ambitieux, qui dépasse de loin le cadre d'un simple album, conçu dès l'origine en deux ambiances, l'une plus épurée, typée lounge, l'autre orientée mainstream...
Il s'agit là d'un disque de chansons sophistiquées, aux textes imagés, infusées de divers styles, du rock à la pop, en passant par la techno et le jazz. Cette musique envoûtante est indéniablement actuelle, avec une production d'un très haut standing. Laissez-vous charmer par l'univers si particulier de CHARDEAU !».................................................................................................
Fatou SOW, Slingshots Music
«This is beautiful work. Your sound is definitely rich and infused with many influences............................................................................................
> FREQUENCE WEBRADIO
«Chardeau offers a great scoop on his website : the possibility of hearing streamed 5.1 audio excerpts, as well as an interface (using flash) which allows you to adjust each vocal level and the speaker configuration in order to create one's own sonic universe.»................................................................................................
> JERRY GOODMAN
«I must tell you that I think it is wonderful. You have done a great job my friend. The music, production, and sound are wonderful. You should be proud.».........................................................................................................
