Three Italian artists and their interesting electronic music.
| Franco Battiato has had a long career as an experimental music performer and popular singer. Of course it's the former we're going to look at here, with music from his first three solo albums. The first two are more in the vein of experimental pop, while the third explores extended instrumental territory in a way familiar to listeners of the program. |
