- Terrore nello spazio (Small Voices, 2003)
- Rumore, Giona A. Nazzaro:
- “ A work characterized by a great strategic intelligence, it contextualises again the almost Bava’s no budget in a sort of open approach where jazz evocations and broken electronic come together …. An exquisitely political and irresistible record”
- Il Mucchio, F.M.A.:
- “ The absurdity of the plot is the perfect result of Manitù Rossi and his five fellows’ histrionic craziness”
- Neural.it, Aurelio Cianciotta:
- “ Horror Atmospheres, swing, analogue electronic and psycho-beat, exotica and science-fiction, with a great variety of styles, being able to exorcize from the common clichés those operations which foresee in a “lounge” revival of the 60’s and 70’s sounds a convenient release from contemporaneity. Really wonderful ”
- Infanzia di m (Snowdonia, 2001)
- Rumore, Gianluca Runza:
- “ A sort of travel in childhood memories, with a revival of nostalgic evocations and ironically serious drum machine …. … and nearly chamber music sounds, alienations and normality .”“ A sort of travel in childhood memories, with a revival of nostalgic evocations and ironically serious drum machine …. … and nearly chamber music sounds, alienations and normality .”
- Music Club, Walter Rovere:
- “ A Medieval–industrial melodic work , very striking in drawing on chamber music sounds and real noises and sometimes also synthetic rhythms.”
- Blow Up, Paolo Bretoni:
- “Ambiences…..distinguished by effective colorations sa thriller soundtrack o da sommerse pulsazioni lounge”
- Le Forbici di Manitù play & remix Lieutenant Murnau (Earthly Delights/Soleilmoon, 1999)
- Il Mucchio, Eddie Cilìa:
- “ They draw on old tapes and rearrange them in a mix of ambient, radio sliding/shifting (quest’ultimo significa “passa e perde valore”) symphonies , industrial assaults, noising little symphonies, tears of exotic psychedelic and “mutant pop”. Excellent . “
- Music Club, Roberto Michieletto:
- “ An unmistakable proof of their shrewdness and ability in recycling and assembling different kind and changeable material with extreme zest . “
- Public Works, Lloyd Dunn
- “ A seminal anti-copyright work”
- Appy Polly Loggy (Moloko+, 1999)
- KW Musica, John Vignola:
- “ The mini draws FdM near a creative and as usual deviated drum’s bass, a “frivolous/ thoughtless” choice, though it creates solutions out of the genre, exploiting its rhythmic vibration to give life sometimes to extraordinary alienations.”
- Blow Up, Etero Genio:
- “They explore disco/dance rhythms … with authority , personality and ability and the thirty minutes of their CD pass in a nice and amusing way.”
- Trivelogue (Staalplaat, 1996)
- Rumore, Nicola Catalano:
- “ The new CD by “Le Forbici di Manitù” is extravagant and hard to catalogue, it’s amazingly packaged in a perfect style TRAX with draughts. Trivelogue gives three fanciful audiogames, learned and playful at the same time. They could be defined as changing riddle/mixture sounds, futuristic-ethnologic which remind to childhood memories or reveries of adventurous trips in remote lands.”
- D.L.K., Diego Loporcaro:
- “ The listener can attempt to guess the “ Secret theme” , which joins the different sound samples inside of each manche (Hand), doing a “trip” across noises, melodies and voices and he can gain one of the thirty special prizes offered by the group…”
- E.S.T., B.D.:
- “ The long Magellano is a sort of recognition of exploring travels with three accompaniment texts featured by a stream of consciousness style which stirs up a lyrical mental condition….”
- Bad Alchemy:
- “ David Toop couldn’t have written something better than this and yet this text belong to “ Le Forbici di Manitù”. Their Oceano di Suono is entitled Trivelogue .”
- Il Mucchio Selvaggio, Gianluca Picardi
- “ A raid in their lands is heartily suggested to the lovers of unusual and “mutant” creativity.”
- Luther Blissett - The Original Soundtracks (Alchemax, 1995)
- Oltre Il Silenzio, …” GMEB:
-
“ A puzzling Project , a mix of story-fiction, art-fiction, cinema-fiction and obviously music-fiction“
- I/E , Piero Scaruffi:
- “ The record collects the soundtracks composed for the Brasilian director Blisset by the Italian group “Le Forbici di Manitù”. The task of this music can explain the great stylistic variety of these electronic compositions.”
- Urlo, Vittorio Amodio
- “ Le Forbici di Manitù” are coming back again and in their virtual/real universe they work together with a charismatic figure : Luther Blisset”
- Rockerilla, Aldo Chimenti:
- “ Those who know the music background of the trio won’t be amazed at recognizing between the lines some echoes of Residents, Negativland, Psychic TV, Hybrid Kids and many others but they will also be pleasantly surprised appreciating the personality of the different compositions too….”
- Quadrivelogue (Disturbance, 1995)
- Music Club, Michele Benetello:
- “Quadrivelogue” is the best electronic “Thought” record never created in Italy since Krisma’s Clandestine Anticipation (….and Pankow’s True Hunde )”
- Musica!, Fabio De Luca:
- “Forbici plays a kind of ambient, electronic music, able to create a fascinating ambience and sometimes also able to touch dance connotations. It sounds rather Biosphere’s music, to cite a very well known name in this last period, but it maintains its own coherence and shrewdness. Fabio De Luca, Musica !
- Music From The Empty Quarter, Deadhead:
- “Le percussioni sono ben impiegate, se ne può apprezzare la massima propulsione ma i toni più abrasivi del sound generale sono ben occultati nel missaggio. Mackenzietherapy funziona particolarmente bene come strano mix di pulsazioni a-la Kraftwerk e forti (ma rallentati) beats in stile Francoforte… Pare che queste tracce non siano altro che frammenti rielaborati di un album non ancora edito chiamato Trivelogue: non vediamo l’ora di ascoltarlo…”
