Tempovision
Tempovision is the second studio album by French DJ and producer Étienne de Crécy, released on 23 October 2000 through Disques Solid and V2 Records. It includes the singles "Am I Wrong", "Scratched" and "Tempovision", which had 3D computer-animated videos made for them by de Crécy's brother, Geoffroy de Crécy. "Am I Wrong" and "Scratched" charted at numbers 44 and 80 on the UK Singles Chart, respectively.

Critical reception
Dean Carlson of AllMusic wrote that "Squiggling past looping divas, afternoon glares, and funkadelic body bops, De Crecy manages to manufacture a trail of songs that reach for that Anglo-French brass ring with nothing but admirable gravitas". He found "Out of My Hands" to have "bouncing squelches in the Zombie Nation-vein" and "Relax" to have "classically skewed big beat stomps", and concluded that the album is "probably a response to seeing De Crecy's own Air/Daft Punk disciples get the coiffured crossover treatment", hence its "pop diva production". Blender felt that listening to the album is "all in all, time well spent".Reviewing the album for musicOMH, Michael Hubbard found that "really on the whole it is chill-out room material, full of time signature changes (When Jack Met Jill) and random relaxing rhythms (Noname)", calling "Am I Wrong" the exception as it is "full of flangey synth, a riotous beat, diva-esque backing vocals and funky bass". Hubbard concluded that the listener should "switch off the lights and let [their] mind switch off", as "it is in such an environment that Tempovision comes across best".
