Piero Umiliani
« on: March 24, 2024, 10:50:04 PM »
The don of all dons if you ask me. Must have dropped more money on his stuff than any other library composer. Got five originals and eighteen legitimate reissues. Plenty more to collect. Am also having the good fortune of visiting his Sound Work Shop Studio in Rome in a couple of months. Am intrigued to find out what other members favourite records of his are?

One of my top favorites too!

Quite hard question to answer by the way.

So off the bat I would say:

- Psichedelica (Omicron)
- Omaggio Ad Einstein (Omicron)
- Temi Descrittivi Per Piccolo Complesso (Liuto)
- To-Day's Sound (Liuto)
- Synthi Time (Omicron)

Just to stay in the original library releases...

Not heard 'Temi Descrittivi Per Piccolo Complesso' yet. I shall investigate.

Although, a soundtrack and not a library record, for me my favourite is La ragazza fuori strada, although there are several cues and alternative versions from this that also feature on his double library LP, Piero Umiliani E La Sua Orchestra – Gli Archi Raccontano..... (Liuto) which is still pretty cheap to pick up an original and one of a few of his releases that has still not been reissued.
