“….affonda le sue radici nella IDM, miscela particolare di atmosfere sporche e sonorità decisamente intime che suggeriscono alla mente il ricordo degli esordi di Apparat con “Multifunktionsebene”.”
REVIEWED
Beach Slot “PIEL” is an absolute celebration of sound. Crayon Mortel displays a wide range on the lovely “PIEL”.
Tsinoshi Bar “Echi IDM nelle modulazioni dei synth vengono abbinati a ritmiche tipicamente house, e il lavoro è davvero ben fatto. Riesce a far convergere una forte emotività dei brani, passione, a volte nostalgia, col dinamismo di una cassa incalzante e sempre positiva.”
Sounds Behind the Corner “…una forte manipolazione dub si contorce tra linee acidissime di techno-house sporcata da nuove tendenze IDM; il valore danceable del dischetto è elevato, poco conforme allo stile italico ed alle paure manifeste di cercare percorsi alternativi…”
Sodapop “51Beats ci ha abituato ormai alle scoperte dal sottobosco italiano e pubblica un altro esordio di musica elettronica vicina al dancefloor ma anche alla IDM d’atmosfera: Crayon Mortel risponde al nome di Alessio Bressan e in trenta minuti riesce a fare compiere ai nostri corpi e alle nostre menti un bel viaggio sonoro.”
Intruders TV (Paris, Fr) “floating trip with flows of vivid IDM, liquid ambient and mesmerizing deep electronic melodies“
EXTRA Music Magazine “Il disco è di certo molto interessante e dimostra come sia possibile far rivivere tracce di house music all’interno di un contesto elettronico che per sua natura è ovattato e impermeabile.”
Netlabels News “Piel es el álbum debut de Crayon Mortel, una estrella naciente de Padua (IT). Encontraremos sus raíces en la música house añadiendo algunas atmósferas sucias y nuevos sonidos. Empapado de IDM, Piel tiene algunos explosivos temas orientados a la pista de baile.”
Recent Music Heroes “At times one can find out parallels with artists being released on Morr Music, at times with the likes of Seefeel, Autocreation and Locust, at times with the likes of Atlas Sound and Tangerine Dream yet Bressan has his own proper handwriting. All the aforementioned elements of experimentation are very poignantly counterpointed by sublime harmonies and lofty progressions. That`s all what we need actually for, isn`t. For me, it is a formula for ideal pop music. This staggering ghost is a part of the discography of 51 Beats.”
