Background from flickr user slow food from the 31th on Messier’s list of diffuse sky objects Dutch and Belgium press about Ndromeda’s debut EP: ’A simply astonishing first album’ Popmagazine Heaven, Belgium’A plain combination of blues, country, folk, chanson with a hint of classical music, full of athmosphere’ Altcountry.nl ’The dutch country noir scene can be delighted to have a new superduo: Ndromeda’ Folkforum ’Spooky and exciting arrangements... with beautifully sung alternative ballads, sometimes with a country flavour."Live at Live in the Living, Amsterdam ’Nice unconventional duo’ FRET, Holland’A delightfull record ’ Musicfrom.nl’The combination of the lazy-expressive voice of Ruitenberg, classical and americana instruments and clever songs does it for this record’ Ctraltcountry.be’... a strong moody release, with a professional (-big label attractive-) sound and production. Ciska’s attractive, warm soulful voice has a bluesy-jazz Americana feel to it, with tempered but honest expressions of songs which reveals themselves softly. All songs are in English. It’s hardly noticeable that it’s sung by a Dutch person. The accompaniment is moody, chamber like and well executed. A short, but strong debut.’**** www.radiocentraal.be/psychevanhetfolkAnd a review from Rockomondo, France. ’...En guise de bonjour, ils vous jouent une chanson triste sur des instruments en bois. Et même que c’est sacrément beau. Alors vous ajoutez deux couverts sur la table et vous allez mettre des draps dans la chambre d’amis.’picture by nailman (www.nailman.nl) ndromeda at numoonfest Rotterdam, dec. 2007, camera E. de herder Sami Kukka, Ciska and Edwin touring Finland in the Twingo
