Patrizio Buanne chats to I Like Music

I wrote him a letter, but I didn't send it because I don't think he's in the best position to read any letters now. But I'll be in LA soon and hopefully will sort something out to see him. He's a star. I ignored his music, because I wasn't into it. But he is in my eyes a star, to have the coolness and strength to say, 'right, you did a good version, good luck.' I'm releasing it in South America. I did it in Italian and Spanish and I'm the first person ever to cover any Robbie Williams song in another language. I hope you like it as much as he did.

ILM: You recorded the album in Vienna, Warsaw and London's Abbey Road Studios. Which track did you have the most fun laying down in the studio?

PATRIZIO: It was fun doing the Robbie William's song, because I did it in London. So the Italian bloke who dares to record at the Abbey Road Studio with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra was just fun, walking in there and recording that. I have to say most of the material was recorded in London. I did the corrections in Vienna and Warsaw. The orchestral stuff was in London. I mean Abbey Road, c'mon! We did the photographs of us on the Zebra crossing; we walked across the crossing a million times to get the picture right because there was so much traffic. It's just genius for me, the Beatles, everyone who's really big recorded there. It's like a museum.
