Camille 2000

Blind Faith Records presents: Camille 2000. Collector's edition, limited to just 1000 copies. Officially licensed reissue remastered from the original tapes. Deluxe gatefold 180-gram double colored vinyl.

Rome, Aventino, one of the most amazing neighborhoods in the South area of the capital city. In an old garage, fully stored and preserved, tons of 1/4 inch tapes represent the monumental and brilliant work of one of the greatest composers of the twentieth century: the master Piero Piccioni.
Caring for, listening to, and taking stock is his son, Jason. We asked him to select three out of many; three chapters of the master’s work, three scores to be rescued and brought to the light in all their expressive and communicative power.
Camille 2000 would be the first in the ongoing series. Never published until today on vinyl, it was carefully transferred from the original masters and embellished with several alternative takes and fragments that remained unpublished until now.
The work of restoration was performed by Giuliano Radiciotti, while the mastering was made by multi Grammy winner Brian Lucey.

Collector's edition, limited to just 1000 copies. Officially licensed reissue remastered from the original tapes.
Deluxe gatefold 180-gram double colored vinyl.

Digging in the vault of my father
I remember when I heard this music for the first time in my fathers studio. It was revolutionary to me i that it represented a blueprint for hip hop but from so far in the past.
As a youngster I remember my father getting out the old quarter inch tapes of Camille 2000 and playing them to me in his studio after lunch.
These recordings instantly became among my absolute favourites in the realms of darker filmic funk. After many years, I recently found the original master tapes containing the session recordings from 1969, which were hidden away in an underground vault.
Digging into tapes I was extatic to discover some wonderful takes which had never ever been released before.
