SOME PRESS

"...On imagine la scène : un piano caressé par la brise, des rideaux qui ondulent paresseusement, une lumière écrasante, une chaleur qui ordonne la sensualité. Ça se passe chez Angélica Negrón, quelque part à San Juan, Porto Rico, avec cette mélancolie et cette nonchalance propres aux gens des îles. Comme le titre de son album l’indique, Angélica a forcément, en douce du conservatoire, écouté Brian Eno égrener sur son piano distrait les haïkus de mélodies de Music for Airports. Arturo En El Barco : la mer est étale et à bord de la barque, les gestes sont lents, lascifs, tendres, les Boards Of Canada et Colleen pêchent au filet à papillons les poissons volants. Ce disque peut provoquer la paix..." - LES INROCKUPTIBLES

"...Arturo En El Barco is piano-based electronica of the very sweet type, the type that moves you, but only in inches, warming your oh so delicate heartstrings so very softly-softly...Negrón has created an album with oceans of charm which oozes innocence and warmth; it's like wearing rose tinted spectacles..." - ANGRY APE

"...L’exotisme évoqué de prime abord par cette nouvelle production du label belge Carte Postale disparaît vite au profit de la curiosité, éveillée dès les premières notes de piano de Beth Dorris, suspendus en apesanteur. Qu’importe finalement que la jeune compositrice soit native de San Juan au Port-Rico. Depuis que les mexicains Fax et Murcof (entre autres) se sont affranchis des frontières pour exporter leur électro-ambiant, on mesure mieux à quel point le home-studio et internet permettent de découvrir de nouveaux artistes, qu’ils proviennent d’Amérique Centrale ou de la ville voisine...Cette Music For Students And Friends fait preuve d’une grande retenue, d’une subtilité qui se découvre au fil des écoutes... Et on accorde avec plaisir toute notre attention à Arturo En El Barco..." - AUTRES DIRECTIONS

"...Hermoso disco que se realiza a base de preciosistas composiciones que incluyen piano, cuerdas, niños, clicks, sonidos encontrados y prestidigationes electrónicas. “Music for Students and Their Friends” es una colección de historias acerca de estudiantes que nunca crecieron y en ellas uno puede escuchar una sensibilidad que es entrañable y arrebatadora; simplemente por esa delicada manera de que los sonidos caen sobre sí mismos, queriéndose y dejando que el espacio abraze el interior de ese mismo espacio. Sin duda aquí estamos ante un talento al que habrá que seguir muy de cerca, desde nuestro viejo San Juan. Y mientras el frío de invierno persista en esta temporada que nunca parece terminar, es este disco el que seguramente me acompañará antes de ir a dormir..." - ELECTRONICA EN TU IDIOMA

"...On y découvre un piano dominant sur lequel viennent se greffer des sonorités électroniques mais aussi un violon, dans un ensemble très serein, très beau, d’une grande douceur, qui se rapproche à certains moments de la musique de films ou de l’ambiant façon Brian Eno, et à d’autres moments de l’electronica pop chère au label Morr Music (dans les remixes notamment). Avec ses textures sonores minérales, très pures, Music For Students And Friends s’impose comme un des disques les plus intéressants de cette fin d’année 2005..." - ONDE FIXE

"...On a tout de suite plaisir à retrouver ses instruments de prédilection avec un premier titre exécuté au piano, croisement de petites mélodies minimales que l'on ne peux s'empêcher de rapprocher de Brian Eno, quelques voix d'enfants, puis une rythmique crachotante qui nous fait basculer vers l'electronica...Un très bel album, une belle surprise, et une artiste à suivre !! Une démarche à contre courant des tendances actuelles... - ETHERREAL MAGAZINE

Hey guys! After a year and a half we are back charging full steam ahead with the release of our latest album "Songs For The Road Towards The End Of The World" this past May 31, 2009. Unlike our two previous releases this was a long duration album (LP) featuring 12 all created by Pete Drown. Mike Mellow participated in the album by co-producing it and creating the art. The first single is called "Ciento Once Grados" (111 Degrees) and we have a brief video/slideshow teaser for it on our page.

We want to invite you to download our free album and share with us your feedback. All you have to do is click on the Cover art either on this message or by visiting our myspace page. There you can also download our previous two EP's if you don't have them already.

So, that being said, I hope you download it, I hope you enjoy it, and I hope you let us know. Thanks again. Micro out...

FEEDBACKS about Aideem !!!

"Electronica sensible y onírica, esta nueva referencia de Medusa.
Un bonito viaje mental

y profundo al más puro estilo Warp.
Una referencia para reescuchar y descubrir

nuevos matices cada vez.
Mucho respeto para Aideem y Medusa"
