La voce del padrone, besides being Battiato's first pop success, was also the first Italian LP to sell more than one million copies.
Overview
Before L'era del cinghiale bianco Battiato had begun to collaborate with violinist and composer Giusto Pio. In La voce del padrone Battiato could rely on Pio's collaboration too, even if violin was never used in the scores.
Album
The album is a mixture of synthpop, dance and progressive. "Bandiera Bianca" quotes "Mr. Tambourine Man" by Bob Dylan, while "Cuccurucucù" borrows the refrain from the Tomás Méndez song "Cucurrucucú paloma". The better known songs of this album are "Summer On a Solitary Beach", "Bandiera Bianca" (one of the best known songs by Battiato) and "Centro Di Gravità Permanente". The title of the album references the Italian offshoot of the HMV record label – La voce del padrone.
"Summer On A Solitary Beach" was released as a single.
