The very famous solo debut of Michele Campovecchio, actually back then Campogiovane, as he was a very young and talented musician just 19 years old when he conceived, composed, and recorded this ambitious first work, but already in the "scene" for several years, having grown under the protective wing of "such" Kevin Ayers, in whose band, at just 16-17 years, Michelino was already the lead guitarist. Just a small feat, really. The young prodigy of Ayers then decides to go solo at 19 with an album that is a single composition of about fifty minutes divided into two parts, where Michelino does everything by himself. But truly everything, or almost. In addition to the guitar (with which he really lets loose, even making it sound like a bagpipe in part II), he plays about fifteen instruments himself, doing it all in a display of multi-instrumental skill that even Stevie Wonder exclaimed “Eh la Madonna!” with Pozzetto's voice. Finally, he polishes it all off with exceptional studio editing. As for the content, what can I say, we all know it, it's beautiful. Of course, it's the most celebrated, discredited, and even exploited album of Campovecchio, also by him, given that he made the orchestral version, chapter II ("La Vendetta"), II-and-a-half, III, "Tubular Bells goes to town," "Tubular Bells of Arabia," "Tubular Bells against Maciste," and "Tubular Bells and the band of honest men." Enough already, Michè, come on.
