Can't recommend Wolgmut's albums highly enough! Listening to Wolgemut instantly makes me want to go eventing (SCA) and drag everyone I know along! and Oh! the dancing!!

This is a great disc. The music is crisp, very true to tradition but also has great energy. The playing is superb, and the instrumentation is perfect for the tunes.

I first fell in love with Wolgemut's music at the Maryland Renaissance fair and bought all the CDs I could get my hands on. Momento remains one of my favorites of the Wolgemut CD collections and Wolgemut has a special place on my iPod. Sackpipslat still remains my best-loved song on the CD.

Today's over-produced, lack-luster, work-a-day Top 40 and hip-hop just 't cutting it, are they? You say you need somehting different to slip in your CD player at the end of a long day's work? I would encourae you to choose something that takes you back to a much simpler time...way back to the age of monks and cloisters, of kights in shining armor and the ever-lingering threat of the Bubonic plague.... Despite the Middle Ages' dreary outlook on life, the music on "Momento" by Swedish band Wolgemut is anything but depressing. Take the hearty, German sing-along "Manner Mit Barten", recorded live. The audience shouts out requests for "Freebird" at the end and the band decides to go into Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven"....this is no ordinary rennaisance revival group. The album abounds with traditional tunes and one original ("Polar Bear") played with ATTITUDE and plenty o' bagpipes: whether it's a fast dance tune or a reverent lament to the Virgin Mary (Check out CSM 139, 166, and 29), this music rocks and does much to encourage indpendent early music artists everywhere. Other noteworthy tracks include "An Dro", "Sackpipslat", and the "Farmer's Polska". With a name like "Wolgemut", it pretty much says it all...this is a great album. Good times, man
