Lino Capra Vaccina Antico Adagio

Following an artistic journey and an experimental stint with Aktuala and other brilliant fellow musicians (like Franco Battiato, above all), Lino Capra Vaccina, near the end of the '70s, recorded 'Antico Adagio'. It was an amazing album, anticipating countless future experiments in the field of new age and world music, and also in avant-garde and electronic music. Apart from a few violin parts and the extraordinary vocal lines (sung by Vaccina himself and Juri Camisasca), 'Antico Adagio' is an album fully built on percussion. But, at the same time, its the furthest thing from the typical idea of percussion. You won't find a single trace of African or primitive beats. Instead, this is a collection of rather long, subtle and thoughtful compositions, crafted with vibraphones, marimbas and gong. Together they create a work which will remain unique - both in Lino Capra Vaccina's discography as well as in a more general sense.
