This is Melodium's 7th full length album since 2001's Italian debut ands
appearance in 1999 with 7ö releases on underground European labels
Static Caravan and Active Suspension.

This first appearance is when Melodium's music perked the ears of
Audio Dregs founders E*Rock and E*Vax. The latter had also released a
single on Static Caravan at the time and had gotten a few of these fine
pieces of wax in the mail from the UK. When they dropped the needle to
preview these records they were immediately taken by the earthy nebula
of instrumental electronic sound clouds that rise and descend within
Melodium's melancholic compositions.

Based in Angers, France Laurent Girard began making music as a kid
with piano and acoustic guitar before delving into the world of electronics
about a decade ago. With "Flacana Flacana" Melodium returns to his early
tools, creating tracks based mostly around unfiltered guitars and piano.
Working with sound a bit like a painter, his work deals with issues of
shape and color in a seemingly straightforward manner, creating minute
constructs in time and sound.

"The aim of this album was to obtain something pure, simple and emotional...
the conception of tracks is very simple, there are very few effects on tracks
and all is quite natural."
-Laurent Girard.

"When he tells you the name is a contraction of ômelodieö and ômediumö,
itÆs not through fake modesty, his average melodies are so tastefully
airbrushed, you could sell furniture to them. When the guitar edges into
the sidelines, itÆs pure Zen tone, momentanly recalls Japanese minimalist
Taku Sugimoto." -The Wire (UK)

"...consistently captivating for its instrumental richness and the affecting
melancholy thatÆs at the root of GirardÆs compositions."
-Textura (CA)
