"La force de Sleichim est, notamment, sa capacité à embarquer l ‘écoute dans la pure jouissance sonore, surgie des séductions du saxophone pour se transformer, grâce à l’électronique et au jeu des enceintes, en un monde exclusif, puissant, infini.
Tous les musiciens sont unis par une virtuosité qui trouvera son sommet dans 'Isotropes', glorieux avatar de l’Ars Subtillor du XIIIe siècle. On en redemande."
