Psichedelica

Description

Before talking about Psichedelica, one of the many and rare library albums signed by Piero Umi- liani, we must step back in time, until June 1968, when Umiliani was working on the score of Svezia Inferno e Paradiso (Sweden Heaven and Hell), one of the many collaborations between director Luigi Scattini and the Maestro. In fact, a large part of the music recorded for that movie, one of Umilianis most popular works, would be later selected for this library release. Originally issued by the label Omicron, which pressed 200 copies, not even destined to be sold. Despite the title, a misleading Psichedelica, and a suitable colored cover, this LP walks of course, one might say along the lines of Scattinis film soundtrack, among beat outbursts, orchestral tracks and some references to the rock sound of the time, as can be heard in the second of the two versions of Hippies.
