Forced Exposure randomly had stock of this. Glad to find a copy at retail. Such a great album

[havershaw]

ah, love that one.

[inksb]

I’m totally unfamiliar with that label doing the Musiche per un Telefilm reissue. Sure hope I can find a US distributor for that.

Did not see this got a reissue recently. Killer, killer album. Not sure of the label.

Holy Basil also did those Modern Sound Quartet reissues.

Thanks for the heads-up on both! I had checked Dusty Groove for the Musiche Per Telefilm reissue when it was posted but they didn’t have it up then.

In the time it took me to check out the Blue Sharks record and go back to Dusty Groove, they sold out of that Flirt reissue, dammit.
But they do have a bunch of those new Umiliani reissues that just came out (and the Blue Sharks record).

Still a few US sellers selling that Flirt reissue on discogs, though.

Blue Sharks sold out lol. I noticed this morning they had a bunch of those Umiliani records back in stock, plus Feed-Back and Braens Machine Underground. Wish I had money right now lol.

As some one who doesn't really have any Umiliani records in his collection, what would you guys recommend as "essential" purchases?

[texasvinyl]

To-day's Sound and Il Corpo

[havershaw]

Sorry about the Blue Sharks!

[inksb]

To-day's Sound and Il Corpo

Thanks @tex, those have long been on my "to buy" list. I actually think I put them both on a list I gave my wife for xmas ideas lol.

[deafmetal]

To-day's Sound and Il Corpo

Good ones, I also love La ragazza fuoristrada.

This is hitting the ears so very nicely today. Glad I finally landed a copy:

[inksb]

I really dig that album. There are still copies available at Stranded Records if any one wants to pick it up

So many great Italian libraries getting reissued. I'm very tempted by some of these but I'm always wary of sound quality. For example the Braens machine underground on schema, was a little disappointing imo.
I see the modern sound quartet on holy basil are licensed through four flies, which is promising.

Couple of Umiliani recommends @inks

great record! does this really have a "Made In Germany" sticker on the cover? :)

It sure does have a Made In Germany sticker slapped right on the front and has a big ol' UPC sticker with SME 010LP on the back

such a great artist! luckily almost all of his "essentials" were reissued over the past few years. you really have a hard time finding a really bad record by him. there are two very good compy on Four Flies. then i really love his scores, especially La Morte Bussa Due Volte which i consider one of his best. also i like the darker stuff like Mondo Inquieto, Suspense (both under the M.Zalla pseudonym) and his tribal/ethnic stuff like Continente Nero and Africa.

haha, no way...

[milliondollars]

another classic album being reissued by the reanimated label that has started it all. Right Tempo seems to be back in the game after a 15 or so years hiatus with a spin off label called Mono Jazz, which looks really promissing.

check out how fancy Marinacci's Atoms Flower's looks:

I haven't heard the score La Morete Bussa Due Volte, I'll check that out. I was listening to Continente Nero and Aftrica last week. I enjoyed both of them but they are not priority on the list of stuff to grab from him. I really need to dive more into his work though.


I'm checking out a few songs from that Atom Flowers record you posted above. Sounds pretty great. Looks like Dusty Groove has some copies for the US crowd.

[texasvinyl]

Atom Flowers is one of my very favorite libraries. I think it's a really joyful italian jazz record. I am glad to see Right Tempo back in the game! What a nice choice too. this music deserves to be more accessible.

[havershaw]

Coincidentally, I ordered Atom Flowers from Dusty Groove a couple of days ago, along with the Blue Sharks! I was wondering why no one had mentioned it here. I hadn’t heard of it but it was recommended since I had looked at the Blue Sharks record.

I also love Mondo Inquieto.
Also great:
La Ragazza Fuoristrada
La Ragazza Dalla Pelle Di Luna

He has two MP 2000 Guerre e Destruction LPs that I like a lot too.

Hi, his Paesaggi album is being reissued, I have a soft spot for it. Even the cover is absolutely gorgeous

[inksb]

Tra scienza e fantascienza

I wish I could find a reasonably priced copy of the WRWTFWW pressing of this. I know @million says it's a terrible pressing but I can't afford an OG and feel like the repress I may eventually find at a good price. I love the album. I do forget it's Umiliani because I'm bad at keeping track of all the pseudonyms people go by

Who is reissuing it? I'm listening to it now and it's wonderful.

[Steve Powder]

Four flies :)))
There are some duds, though you can almost buy it just for the cover. That's what I did on some Alessandroni albums

Yeah, his aliases get really confusing sometimes.😅

I've not heard the reissue but can say that the og sounds really nice, and I think a lot of these OG records have a particular sound due to the pressing, which depending on the music of the record may be more, or less, crucial to the listening experience. For example Braen's underground reissue (apparently mastered from tapes) just sounds a bit flat and messed with digitally (compression?). It sounds ok but just sounds like another reissue, and I don't own an og but can imagine that the harsh guitars and screaming keyboard work and hard rhythm section must hit so much better on vinyl made the way it was back then, Brighter maybe? More transparency? Analogue.

I don't know anything about mastering or making vinyl reissues, but sometimes I feel there is too much messing around in the remastering phase. At the end of the day you have a source CD, tape or vinyl and that is, what it is, and you can't create something, sonically, that isn't originally there.
