The old post reveals what until then I knew: nothing. But outside of that reflects the tremendous impression I got to see one of the artists I admire do something so far from what we are accustomed. Today, 4 years later, much that has been seen, heard and felt from Mondo Cane and so I claimed responsibility for making the post it deserves.
With Mondo Cane, Mike Patton surprised again this time doing a project apparently healthy but which has managed to give a personal touch. Away from all previously performed by him and where he has been involved projects, Mondo Cane is just Mike Patton singing in (perfect) Italian, Italian pop songs of the 50 and 60. Patton wanted course do it big, meet with various musicians from the nation of the boot, all in the name of Mondo Cane give an authentic sound.
Mondo Cane's debut was in a public concert in May 2007 at the Teatro Rossini in Lugo in Italy, performing two concerts days later in Modena and Parma, accompanied by an orchestra of 30 musicians camera. Immediately there arose a great expectation not only to see a character like Mike Patton to do something, but also to see that work embodied in a studio album. In 2008 Patton did other shows with Mondo Cane 4: Switzerland, Finland, Holland and of course Italy (this time in Bologna) succumbed to this strange new project remaining as evidence the audio and video recording in Amsterdam, which has been for me one of the best records heard in recent years.
After that came the meeting with Faith No More ( in which if vi) and when it looked like Mondo Cane would be buried or at least stalled a while, we were surprised with the highly anticipated studio work, the which, although it reflects very little of what live is experienced with this project (the studio album has 11 tracks while the live bootlegs tend to bring 22 tracks on average), paid the debt he owed to us fans.
Mondo Cane Patton features a full vocal and histrionic powers, through the usual episodes of madness ( "Black Urlo" ), true romantic passages ( "Dio come ti amo , " Il Cielo in una Stanza "), tributes to the subjects of admiration (as Ennio Morricone , versioning with the brilliant "Deep Down" and the enigmatic "O Venezia ) feasts sound more typical of a jukebox in a bar Italian (" L'uomo Che Non Sapeva Amare ", " Lontano, Lontano " or " Sole Malato ") to musical gems (" Ore d'amore " , "Canzone" ).
Of course I did with what was appearing bootleg, but Amsterdam was definitely the one who has not left my playlist since its inception, apart from that I got the record on video and DVD could make me a custom for me, except that although I already had downloaded the album (and even the original covers) commission in one of my shopping at Amazon original disk, which I treasure very carefully both its design and its anecdotal value. Well I can sing most of the songs (especially "Ore d'amore" ) and in disk gave me a fever to learn Italian I'm still killing slowly but killing nonetheless. A disc recomendadisimo
for all audiences, not only for fans of Patton and his eccentric projects. Sample, the aforementioned "Ore d'amore" in the aforementioned concert in Amsterdam in 2008.
