"a sumptuous, immersive piece, populated with lonely clicks, earthly organs and stirring synthetic strings. infrequently a voice appears; disembodied, quietly squalling, it is not quite of our world – much like worriedaboutsatan, in fact"
lauren strain, plan b magazine

it would smack more than faintly on hyperbole to say that this is a pioneering album, regardless of its qualities. i shan't waste any more words on what genre the sea of sound that is Arrivals fits into. let's just call it an hour's worth of creepy, organic, nearly always-tension-building electronic ambience which certainly owes as much, if not more, to the hidden influences as the obvious ones"
luke slater, drowned in sound

"brittle guitar tones glittering amongst chattering beats and waterlogged R2-D2 bleeps to altogether splendid effect, providing just one of the many reasons why ‘arrivals’ is one of the more intriguing debut albums in recent times"
alex deller, rocksound

"step off the path just an inch and you’ll be tumbling through patterns and motifs both unfamiliarly alien and unsettlingly absorbing"
mike diver, clash magazine

"it manages that rarity in ambient music of sounding engaging throughout - even on repeated listens it hold you in rather than allowing you to escape into the real world"
rock a rolla magazine

"arrivals is probably the best dub-inflected techno album since the black dog's 'radio scarecrow' last year. two further positives: this seems like an album that can only improve on further listening and worriedaboutsatan are still at the early stages of their musical life"
jeremy bye, the silent ballet

Mico is the essential essence of artist Mieko Shimizu whose stream of conscious poetry set within a cinematic sound clash of fractured musical landscapes attempts to induce in the listener a sub-conscious response, which is further enhanced by her live collaborations with ground breaking visual artists.

Born into a musical family near Mt. Fuj Japan, Mieko works extensively as a songwriter, composer and performer. Initially, she performed in Japan as a singer and pianist and then with her own electro-neo-latin band of two pianos and trumpet, subsequently she scored numerous Manga animated films. She then moved to the UK and released three solo albums and founded the electro-ethno project “Mekong Zoo” with Japanese Violinist Aska Kaneko. In contrast she created the experimental Drum ’n Bass project “Apache 61” releasing material on Haruomi Hosono of Yellow Magic Orchestra’s label and with visual artists such as D Fuse and One Dot Zero she established herself at the cutting edge of the art/club culture scene and toured extensively in the UK and Europe. She has just completed her new album “Phenomena of the Mind” ‘ in which she collaborated with David Cunningham (Piano),Barbara Morgenstern (Monika) and Robert Lippok of To Rococo Rot (Domino)
