		From CDbaby's review of the Melatonin album "Private Imperfections #01: Waves of Air and Seasons through Me" (Released 3rd of May 2006). ”Starting from a compositional, philosophical kernel that prizes improvisation and creative manipulation, Jardardottir explores electro-acoustic realms where classical training meets digital technology, experimenting with vocal styles and techniques, reverb and sound effects to create stunning and haunting tapestries. Her approaches and concepts are both penetrating and atmospheric, chilling and naked and raw but one simply cannot stop listening. Not only does she turn over every stone in the vocal range but she also explores inhales and exhales, sighs and raspy whispers to capture a surprising range of emotion and color. This is one experimental album we won't soon forget.” (CDbaby 10th of May 2006). http://www.CDbaby.com/cd/melatonin
