"With Air, Steve Roach, M83, Lindstrøm and Colin Towns, Aeryal is a notable follower of Vangelis and Jean Michel Jarre"
AllMusicGuide.com

« What about the music I see you wondering… Lovers of Moby, Röyksopp, Vangelis or Jean-Michel Jarre will sure dig this as Aeryal (Miguel Samiez) manages to compose a rather calm and dreamy electronica while never forgetting what music is all about: melodies. Flirting with trip hop at times, his music is quite the perfect companion to dreamstates».
Moodswings

"Notable influences are ambient/world artists Vidna Obmana, Mark Seelig, and Shamanic percussionist Byron Metcalf. Analog-era Tangerine Dream is an obvious pointer, as well as Pink Floyd, Peter Gabriel, and Dead Can Dance."
