Branduardi (also Branduardi '81 ) is a music album by the Italian songwriter Angelo Branduardi . It is attributed to the Italian progressive rock .
history
The album, like the debut album Angelo Branduardi, was created seven years earlier with the participation of the British arranger and composer Paul Buckmaster , who became known for his work with Elton John and Godfrey Salmon. Buckmaster also produced the recordings in the studio of the Italian record company Fonit Cetra in Milan . Branduardi and Buckmaster use synthesizers to enrich the sounds, which mainly come from natural instruments, on the album. Branduardi plays an ARP Odyssey synthesizer from ARP Instruments , Buckmaster a Fender Rhodes electric piano and Franco Di Sabatino keyboards.
Branduardi's wife Luisa Zappa is responsible for the texts . Etienne Roda-Gil translated the songs for a French version of the album . Most of the compositions are by Angelo Branduardi himself; Franco di Sabatino was also involved in the arrangements for the track I tre mercanti .
Publications
The album was recorded in two language versions: with Italian and French lyrics. Polydor took over the distribution in Italy, in Germany the album was distributed by Ariola. The French version uses a cover with a different color. There is also a press of the VEB Deutsche Schallplatten Berlin, which appeared on the AMIGA label . It contains short translations of the songs into German and a heavily abbreviated autobiography in German. A re-release of the Italian version in CD format was distributed by Polydor.

Cover
With a different pressing, more smaller squares can be seen (more than 9) which together make a large square again. For some of the squares, however, you can see red images instead of these.
The cover of the French version is graphically the same, but uses blue instead of red squares.
reception
A review by progarchives.com 30 years after its release rated the album as not essential: “Listening to this album now, so outside of the context of its release, it's not so bad.” ('When you hear the album today , it's totally out the context of its publication, it's not that bad. ')
