Notes from Dusty Groove:
Very groovy stuff from this mad Italian genius! The set features Umiliani getting a lot more experimental than usual, leaving behind his regular funky/easy bag for one that's a lot more tweaky and twonky, but still pretty darn groovy! Some of this stuff reminds us of tracks from the Raymond Scott Manhattan Research set -- as it's spare and bubbly, done in an older analogue style, with a good dose of humor thrown in to warm up the music a bit! Other tracks are funkier, if not in the rhythms, at least in the syncopated style of Umiliani's sounds and keyboard work. Very nice, and a key piece of the mad Umiliani puzzle! Titles include "Momento Ritmico", "Motore A Ioni", "Gadget", "New Experience", "Arabian Synthesizer", and "Officine Stellare".

Hurray! Thou shall worship the EMS Synthi 100 Beast.
I think he went on a binge a few years ago, getting stuff from a few different places. Vinyl Vultures in the UK, Dusty Groove, and a couple other places that have since shut down...
Umiliani is so good. More to come from him! The sadly defunct Now Music and Fashion in Arlington also had a great selection of now sounds.
