Piero Umiliani

Effetti Musicali is a 1968 Piero Umiliani homemade album that exposes his art and his versatility. Listening to this album seems to show him among his keyboards and other implements to overlap sounds and create situations with no outside producer influence, in full artistic freedom. The result is an experimental psychedelic electro-acoustic album. From the original Umiliani family master tapes. Limited edition of 500 copies in a glossy cover.

We all love a bit of Umiliani, and here on this exceptionally rare recording (for his own label) he’s wearing his weirdo hat. It’s orchestral, challenging, experimental and sometimes absolutely beautiful (listen to Oriente Misterioso). This is a strange peak in the underground world of peculiar library music. Jonny Trunk ( Vice / Record Collector / Mojo UK)
