Adelmo Fornaciari, born 25 September 1955 in Reggio Emilia and more commonly known by his stage name Zucchero, is an Italian rock singer. His music is largely inspired by gospel, blues and rock ballads. This deluxe edition includes 2cds. The first cd contains the original album, second disc contains the English version of the album plus 8 songs which have never been released in Italy before with lyrics written by Bono, Iggy Pop, Roland Arzabal, and others.
Like some latter-day Captain Beefheart kidnapping his band to force them to knock out Trout Mask Replica, Cloud dragged the ever-changing Gospel Of Power band, Matt Swanson (also of Lambchop) Ben Martin (Clem Snide) and Matt Back across the Atlantic to record ‘Fever’ at Fire Records’ Stoke Newington studio. But where the notorious Captain turned his musicians into fanatical cadavres, the ever amenable Cloud has created another record of fractured garage and garrulous lo-fi, bizarre character studies and paeans to ladies and love.
