Press Reviews "Ars Ultima:Shawm, recorder, hurdy gurdy and Persian hand drum are just a few of the magnificent instruments that help to construct Ars Ultima's unique world of music. It is engaging and exuberant, flourishing with musical thought and innovation. Having built such a sound from simple traditional instrumentation is an amazing and inspirational task." Riffage.com, USA."Viking ravers with a fetish for Arabic music lay down trance-inducing hurdy-gurdy drones over a steady electronic pulse. The perfect come-down from a long night of pillaging." Doug Russel, Listen.com, USA"There should be no doubt that the members know what they're doing after the live radio gig. (mix, swedish national radio) Now Ars Ultima is ready to conquer the world."Reidar Jönsson, editor of the Lira music magazine, april-00
