(Random Amazon reviews):

4 stars "My search for a compact disc of this wonderful soundtrack appears to be in vain. However, I am very happy that I had the foresight to buy the vinyl with its original cover over 20 years ago. This soundtrack is beautiful, mainly because of its absolutely first rate orchestral score. Because of the time when the film was made, there are vocals that are dated but precious. Overall, it is worth having. SOMEONE SHOULD RE-RELEASE THE SOUNDTRACK. I am sure several of us would purchase it at any price! I went to a film collectors weekend in London and found some soundtrack enthusiasts who lamented that there does not appear to be any score available in Italy either."

5 stars "I have loved, cherished, coveted this soundtrack for years. I first purchased it on vinyl and recorded it to tape. I thought I was the only person in the world who ever thought it exceptional since I could never find it. By chance, today, I found an old taped copy and thought just maybe....I nearly cried when my word search turned it up. It's a wonderful, wonderful sound track. You won't be disappointed."

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".
