Product description

"Foetus," released by Franco Battiato in January 1999, is a captivating journey through the eclectic mind of one of Italy's most innovative singer-songwriters. This 30-minute album, originally recorded in the 1970s and finally released by Vinyl Magic, is a unique blend of genres that defy easy categorization. With tracks like "Energy," "Karyokinesis," and "Mutation," Battiato weaves together elements of electronic music, pop, and surrealism, creating a soundscape that is as thought-provoking as it is entertaining.

The album's eight tracks explore a variety of themes, from the scientific ("Karyokinesis," "Anaphase") to the philosophical ("Phenomenology," "Mechanics"), all wrapped in Battiato's distinctive vocal style. "Foetus" is a testament to Battiato's versatility and his ability to blend disparate musical elements into a cohesive whole. Whether you're a long-time fan of Battiato or a newcomer to his music, "Foetus" offers a fascinating glimpse into the artistic process of one of Italy's most enigmatic musicians. The album was released on BTF Records and is a great addition to any music collection.

This 2022 Limited Edition Reissue LP is pressed on 180g Clear vinyl.

Flawed Volume Control

I purchased it brand new, but it arrived with scratches on the other side. It's always changing between loud and quiet; really annoying.

Budget-Friendly Classic Audio

This is a budget-friendly take on a classic. Audio is crisp and evenly balanced. No clicks or pops in sight. I'd definitely endorse this one.
Originale Disco Traslucido Battisti
5 out of 5 stars
MtimoCJanuary 29, 2025United States🇺🇸
Il disco è autentico e originale dell'epoca. Voglio precisare che non è blu, ma traslucido; quindi, solo sotto la luce del sole o di fronte a una fonte di luce assume un colore blu. Senza luce, appare nero. È la primissima stampa utilizzata per i giornalisti e per il mercato, dal quale ne risultarono pochissime copie. Ho verificato quanto detto sopra con i diretti interessati: i membri della band BATTIATO POLLUTION, i giornalisti degli anni '70 che hanno avuto o hanno questo disco (che includeva il comunicato stampa AL.SA + foto della sessione di Emilio Simion) e i fotografi ufficiali Bla Bla.
Impressive Sound, Minor Design Flaws
5 out of 5 stars

I've just received this new release and I have to say, I'm blown away. The sound quality is incredibly impressive, and the vinyl itself is perfectly flat and centered. There are just a couple of things I'd tweak: I'm a big fan of the bla-bla records design, but this one features the album cover on side A and the inner gatefold on side B. Also, the sleeve doesn't include the lyrics like the original version did.
