Inneres Auge


Inneres Auge, also known with the long title Inneres Auge - Il tutto è più della somma delle sue parti, is a studio album by Italian singer-songwriter Franco Battiato, released by Universal Music Group in 2009. It mostly consists of new versions of old songs.

Production

When his label requested a live album, Battiato opted instead to rearrange and re-record some old songs that, as he put it, "did not received the resonance they deserved". In addition to them, there are two new songs, a cover version of a Fabrizio De André song, and the song "Tibet", originally published as bonus track for the iTunes version of Fleurs 2.
Battiato recorded the album at Pinaxa Studios in Milan. Cover art was cured by Francesco Messina.

Release

Anticipated by the lead single "Inneres Auge", the album was released on 13 November 2009.
