Here some new reviews of Violato Intatto:
Valerio D’Onofrio on Ondarock:
“Padroni di una tecnica a dir poco invidiabile, già autori di collaborazioni con Richard Sinclair dei Caravan, ospite nel loro secondo album Kublai (2011), i bolognesi si pongono in quella stretta nicchia di musicisti coerenti che esplorano quel territorio a metà tra jazz e rock.”

Mellotron Storm on Progarchives:
“I was completely blindsided by this album. […] This has impressed me like little else this year other than the WOBBLER recording. Easily 5 stars and possibly my album of the year.”

Metauro Trebisonda on Heavy Metal Webzine:
“Con questo ottimo lavoro la band bolognese riporta alla luce ancora una volta il miglior jazz-rock di matrice progressive degli anni ’70, attraverso una scrittura lucida e una più matura consapevolezza dei propri mezzi rispetto al passato, firmando un capolavoro musicale senza confini.”

Aussie-Byrd-Brother on Progarchives:
“To call AdC a jazz-fusion band would be doing them a bit of a disservice, as they travel much further than that by incorporating everything from Rock-in-Opposition/Avant textures, ambient interludes, brief cinematic Post-Rock flirtations and a touch of Canterbury styled jazzy waftings. […] It all amounts to ‘Violato Intatto’ likely being Accordo dei Contrari’s true masterwork… until their next album most likely! Instrumental album freaks, jazz/fusion fans and lovers of challenging and off-kilter progressive music, here’s very likely your favourite album of 2017.”
