MIKE PATTONMONDO CANE (2010)
320 KBPS
Mike Patton is about as predictable as the mood swings of someone with a severe case of bipolar disorder. The prolific Faith No More frontman is releasing Mondo Cane, via his own Ipecac Records, on May 4. It's not just another Patton project; it's a collection Italian oldies, which shouldn't surprise Patton disciples, since he was married to an Italian artist and is said to be fluent in the language.
Mondo Cane features as 40-piece orchestra, a choir and back- up band. Patton sings a host of Italian-language songs from the '50s and '60s. The disc also features a several covers: Blackmen's "Urlo Negro," which was recorded in the '60s and is about the struggle for civil rights; Gino Paoli's "Senza Fine," which was also recorded by Connie Francis four decades ago; and "Deep Down," written by Ennio Morricone for the 1986 film, Danger: Diabolik.

Intriguing raid into and beyond enemy lines... I'm Italian and do know these songs, so I for real appreciate how Mr. Patton tried hard at this... yet he was perhaps more inspired by Italian Futurism on other albums such as Pranzo Oltranzista... which by the way this blog already posted some months ago...
Great !
I didn't know there would be an official studio album made out of these songs!
I was keeping the record of the live brodcast in Holland safe on my hard drive :-)
