One of the coolest Italian soundtracks we've heard in a long time -- a wonderful set of tunes that moves from slinky, to easy, to groovy, and beyond! The tunes start out bubbling very spare and slow -- with floating piano, moog, and other nice bits -- and as the record progresses, the sound gets heavier, with some nice funky elements thrown into the mix! The whole thing's a brilliant exercise in understatement -- not only one of the best soundtracks by Umiliani from the 70s, but also a perfect example of why we dig Italian soundtracks so much! Titles include "Volto Di Donna", "La Prima Uscita", "La Rinuncia", "Senza Tregua", "Nostalgia", "The Party", and "Maryam"

"Dusty Groove"

La Ragazza Fuori Strada [Piero Umiliani] (Easy Tempo 1975)
