A Perfect Error – Midnight Wire (Album – Re:Mission)
Genre/Influences: Minimal-Electro, Body-Pop.
Format: Digital, CD.
Background/Info: This is the debut album by A Perfect Error. The project is driven by Canadian artist Cory Gorski who you might know from Volt 9000.
Content: It’s hard to define the sound of this project. It definitely sounds into Electronics and minimalism. The rhythm remains slow. The tracks have been progressively built up but always remaining minimalistic. You’ll also notice a passage with saxophone creating a film-noir sensation. The vocals are calm and like accompanying the music.
+ + + : The least I can say is that this album is original and still a challenge. It’s Electronic music you can easily listen to and even close your eyes to dream away. I like the global minimalism the songs have been made of.
– – – : It sounds however a bit linear and that’s maybe because there’s no real outburst.
Conclusion: I’m not entirely convinced and yet this project has something fascinating which I hope will explode at further productions.
Best songs: “Love And Other Chemicals”, “The Math between us”.
Rate: 6½.

About A Perfect Error
A Perfect Error is the solo project of Toronto-based songwriter Cory J Gorski, previously active in Volt 9000 and VHS Nightmares. With this project Gorski moved towards dark pop, writing and producing all the material himself.
The debut single “Straightline” was released on Re:Mission Entertainment in April 2022, with Side-Line premiering the accompanying video on 22 April 2022. The album “Midnight Wire” followed on 27 May 2022 as a ten-track record, mastered by Martin Bowes at The Cage Studios, with cover graphics and design by Madsinez and distribution handled by Re:Mission Entertainment. Alongside the download it appeared as a CD digipak limited to 100 copies and a cassette edition also limited to 100 copies.
Gorski continued the project after this album with the EP “Time Machines” in 2025, five tracks carrying on the electro-industrial and dark pop direction that started here.
I have been working for over 30 years with Side-line as the main reviewer. My taste is eclectic, uncoventional and I prefer to look for the pearls, even if the bands are completely unknown, thus staying loyal to the Side-Line philosophy of nurturing new talents.
Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
