| SVPER/Bitter Moon | 1981 SVPER/Bitter Moon 1981 TRACKLISTING 1. Summer on a Solitary Beach, by SVPER (first recorded by Franco Battiato) 2. Automaticamore, by Bitter Moon (first recorded by Patrizia Pellegrino) RELEASE DATE August 30 2019 What links the two bands is a soft spot for the analogue, old tape machines and synthesizers but also for monumental sound worlds in which they link past and present. One could think of this record as a time capsule, or maybe a reminiscence to a bygone era. The era of Lucio Battisti and Franco Battiato. Somehow avant-garde, different from what Italian music was associated with in the decades before and after. 1981. Another year in the 80s. A past present in which there was a certain kind of music coming out of Italy. It might be a coincidence that the two songs by Franco Battiato and Patrizia Pellegrino, that are covered on this record, were both released in 1981. However, we read it as a sign and celebrate it as an homage to an Italian musical universe that is long gone by, but on this record reverberates for a short moment into the future. write your comments about the article :: © 2019 Jazz News :: home page |
