"Stellamara is a global symphony spun through minarets and grounded in the earth." * * * * * - John Diliberto/ Pulse!/Echoes "It has become to easy to compare anything that sounds remotely Middle Eastern to Dead Can Dance. Though indeed similar to DCD, if Stellamara had formed first they would be the comparative standard... Drakulich has as singular a vocal style as Lisa Gerrard does, but with the added allure of a siren" - Alternative Press "Stellamara manage to maintain a balance of reverence for the music of other peoples cultures with a haunting elegance of expression." -Electronic Musician "[Stellamara] is an earthly blend of ethereal hymns and instrumental reveries with the benefit of contemporary ambient atmospherics" - Alternative Press " There is retro and then there is retro... the group time-travels across continents, channeling transcultural rhythms and melodies into a striking contemporary amalgam... Stellamara cuts directly to the devotional essence of music and that's the only kind of retro that matters." - S.F. Weekly "[Stellamara's] music is ancient and mysterious as candle lit catacombs; one can almost smell the smoke of oriental incense tinged with primeval earthen molds... If you like the music of Dead Can Dance, you'll love Stellamara's dark hypnotic tapestry of sound." -New Age Voice "Some of the most ancient melodies and rhythms of the world drawn into the modern style of electronic ambient music...The result is timeless music that has depth, inner resonance and mystery...You are gonna love Stellamara." - Album Network "Stellamara combines understanding of diverse sourses of music with an ear for accesible grooves, perfect for music fans ready to move beyond the easier sounds of Enya or Peter Gabriel's Passion." --Exclaim! "...The results are more than impressive...Often achingly beautiful... inspiration and solace." --Aiding and Abetting
