One, 2004 [One04]
~
Leenak (Kaneel) and Makunouchi Bento have once again put their minds together and created 'Errata', under their Miopedi collaboration. Often split releases come across with a fitting split persona, though Miopedi: Errata has strong personalities reminiscent of the ambience and sound that seemingly existed in memory long before you heard them.
As surreal and haunting as the accompanied artwork, it's tempting to hunt down the relation and reason behind this caustic ambience... only no deduction could bring it justice. This is the very essence of the Miopedi project that got us asking for more. Familiar and mysterious at the same time - while retaining the desire of enjoyable and repeated listening.

"Miopedi: Errata is a four track download of effortless rumination and gentle melodic structures. The gossamer organic melodies of these tracks dissipate as you hear them, elusive strands of music that touch upon your consciousness like threads of forgotten dreams. [...] I don't know these guys other than the eighteen minutes I just spent in their company, but judging on how many times I hit "Replay" on this EP, I'd say they are welcome at my house any time."
Mark Teppo at Igloo Magazine
"Cariul C is certainly the strongest track of the Ep. It's very smooth and delicate. The melodica lead tones blend perfectly with the E-Piano and remind of these old songs from your childhood that you fancied playing on the turntable, lulled by the hyptnotic movement of the groove."

"Softly crawling on my nervesystems, Makunouchi Bento hits off and playfully lays a knot in my brain as mellow intelligent rhythms tickle and tease and slowly drag me away from wot I hold for certain."
