Agricantus Press Clippings “…with traditional instruments, sequencers, Berber percussion, the voices and sounds of the desert become part of a music which, like the wind, knows no boundaries..” Federico Fiume – Tutto                                                            “… a record which strikes you for the vastness of its sounds and enchants you with the airy beauty of its melodies, the magnificent attraction of its multilingual lyrics… A mirage which has become a reality” Elio Bussolino – Rockerilla “Inspired by Mussorgskij, Grieg, Albinoni, Prokofiev, Paganini, Berio, Brahms, Bartok, and in general by classical music composers who have worked on and made more noble the patrimony of popular music, Agricantus have added a new, formidable piece to their jigsaw of world music and stylistic blendings.” Flavio Brighenti – Musica! di Repubblica “Agricantus have worked in a very subtle, almost subliminal manner, using samples of tracks by Brahms, Mussorgsky, ‘Peer Gynt’ by Grieg, and combining them with a natural ease to the trance rhythms, ethnic, Mediterranean and even Balkan sounds of their own music” Alba Solaro – L’Unità About ‘Best of Agricantus’: “Feast your ears on an Italian group that cooks up an exotic blend of cross-cultural ingredients..Electronic grooves and ancient languages create a spellbinding mix of influences and sounds. Agricantus fever is contagious. Catch it and spread the word.” Dore Stein – Tangents radio (U.S.A) “….superb collection of hybrid musical sounds which feature a strong dance beat and excellent singing.. a strong example of blended world music which uses roots traditions to produce a new multicultural style” Reviewer’s Bookwatch “With an electronic groove that is addicting, Agricantus embodies a wide range of World Music styles.. The haunting vocals of Rosie Wiederkehr lead the band through ancient languages and sounds with a contemporary flavour” Paula Kirman – About.com “…a highwire act over Mediterranean folk streams and pumping rhythm loops,…This tight, chant-groove brew takes them into Deep Forest territory, but they’re applying modernism to roots rather than appropriating exotica”. Rolling Stone (Australia)
