the botticelli orchestra
- ...the sound of today (1977)
....................
....................
the reason i gave this late seventies release a second glance was because it is a phase 4 stereo release. i guessed it would be instrumental, and hoped it would be orchestral and not just generic disco. the guess paid off - it is a wonderful record, lush superb arrangements involving a full orchestra and some tasteful background vocals.
the sound for me is reminiscent of bert kaempfert's "tropical sunrise" (a masterpiece!) so i'm pleased to have another late seventies release i can love.
....................
01 - botticelli's theme
02 - fernando
03 - save your kisses for me
04 - this melody
05 - besame mucho
06 - je vais t'aimer
07 - right back where we started from
08 - could it be magic
09 - avant de nous dire adieux
10 - come prima
11 - t'aimer encore une fois
12 - theme from mahogany
13 - tu sais je t'aime

Hi,
You are asking about 3 missing tracks from the tom stringer album, are you saying that when you completed the extraction three tracks were missing?
If so which tracks were missing?
VR
sorry VR, i must've hit cancel or something the first time around - just re-extracted the rar and all 12 tracks are there. thank you.
I've never heard of The Boticelli Orchestra before!
The cover put me off a little but I trusted your taste and gave it a go.....WOW! what a great album!
Who are these guys? is it an alias for someone else (has a touch of Geoff Love about it)
A really wonderful blend of Lounge with a Disco twist :)
Awesome!
yeah i know what you mean THXJay - it looks like some producer took a photo of his girlfriend on a bad hair day. initially i did not even listen to the lp past the opener which i found arb, but discovered it's a lovely lp after all. glad someone else feels the same ;). i know what you mean - i get the strong feeling this is someone we know doing a late seventies lp under psuedonym.
!!!!! this album is EXTREMELY rare i have another album of boticelli on cassette called 'classics in latin' and it features some of the tracks here, i tried to search for mp3 versions on the net but there were no satisfactory results
GREAT POST!!!
hatem, it's a pleasure, glad you like it. any idea who botticelli is?
:( No, I couldn't find any info on the web about him and your post is probably the FIRST and ONLY
evidence that there was a guy named boticelli
Beautiful! Never heard of this before. Absolutely brilliant.

The Botticelli Orchestra is the same as the Dick Bakker Orchestra.
