Lucio Battisti - Umanamente Uomi: Il Sogno (1972)
The music of Lucio Battisti reaches deep into the depths of your very soul. "Umanamente uomo: Il sogno" (Humanly human: The dream) is a great album to follow in the steps of his masterpiece "Amore e Non Amore" (1971) and although far less "folk-prog at its core" still hits the very essence of your soul. The same year Lucio release "Il Mio Canto Libero" which is equally a fulfilling album.
Lucio partnered again on this album with guy named Mogol who wrote all Battisti's lyrics. What a great partnership Battisti and Mogol had over the years.....In many ways not unlike Elton John's relationship with Bernie Taupin
Battisti loved dense orchestration which he combined with his timeless music on this album to produce a record of true eclectic beauty.
Fans of Ital-progressive rock will like these early Battisti albums for sure as they have lots of unexpected bits but never straying too far from his folk-pop sensitivities.
Musically this album is rich in melody with rich instrumentation and eloquent lyrics.
