Images (Lucio Battisti Album)
Images is an album by Italian singer and songwriter Lucio Battisti. It was released in September 1977 by RCA Victor.
The album is a collection of 5 of his songs from his previous album Io tu noi tutti and 2 of his classic songs ("Il mio canto libero" and "La canzone del sole"): all songs are translated into English by Peter Powell. In the United States the album was considered by critics a relative failure: this was partly due to Battisti's vocal performance in a foreign language, partly due translation and disco-inspired arrangements that, although pleasant, were not able to convey the spirit and all the nuances of the original songs.

Famous quotes containing the word images:
“The base of all artistic genius is the power of conceiving humanity in a new, striking, rejoicing way, of putting a happy world of its own creation in place of the meaner world of common days, of generating around itself an atmosphere with a novel power of refraction, selecting, transforming, recombining the images it transmits, according to the choice of the imaginative intellect. In exercising this power, painting and poetry have a choice of subject almost unlimited.”
—Walter Pater (1839–1894)
