Intonarumori is an album by the New York–based music group Material, released in 1999. ^[2]

Critical reception

The Cleveland Scene wrote: "While Intonarumori boasts a dizzying variety of artists, its themes—Pan-Africanism, the need to review history through Afrocentric eyes, the stifling aspects of official white culture—are perhaps richer than those of Imaginary Cuba [Laswell's concurrent solo album]." ^[3]
