Our Take

Piero Umiliani's "L'Uomo Elettronico" is a fascinating journey into the world of experimental electronic music. This Italian maestro has created a sonic landscape that is both futuristic and timeless, drawing on a wide range of influences to create something truly unique.

From the opening track, "Percussioni in Crescendo," with its pulsating rhythms and otherworldly sounds, to the closing notes of "Danza Elettronica," which feels like a glimpse into a robot disco from the future, Umiliani takes the listener on a wild ride through the possibilities of electronic music.

Tracks like "Motocicletta," with its driving bassline and hypnotic melody, or "Nostalgia," which combines haunting vocals with glitchy beats, showcase Umiliani's ability to blend different elements into a cohesive whole.

But it's not all high-energy bangers on this album. Tracks like "Risaie" and "Morire D'Amore" slow things down, creating a dreamy, atmospheric vibe that is equally captivating.

In the hands of a lesser artist, this mishmash of styles and sounds could easily descend into chaos. But Umiliani's masterful touch keeps everything in check, creating a cohesive and engaging listening experience that will keep you coming back for more.

"L'Uomo Elettronico" is a testament to Umiliani's skill as a producer and a visionary, pushing the boundaries of what electronic music can be. It's a must-listen for anyone with an adventurous ear and a love of the truly weird and wonderful.
