 Synthi Time is perhaps one of the most suitable albums û within UmilianiÆs incredibly
 vast discography û to fully appreciate the composing and experimental genius of the
 Maestro. For once away from the classic soundtracks that made him popular, this
 project veers away also from refined works of library music such as Genti e paesi del
 mondo (People and countries of the world) or Problemi dÆoggi (TodayÆs issues),
 released under the moniker of Zalla. In this case, we like to imagine him absorbed in
 his Sound Work Shop studio, experimenting with synthesizers with the same enthusiasm
 of a newbie in search of the perfect sound. Without renouncing to pop(ular) elements,
 Umiliani seems almost to anticipate (or at least to be fully consistent with) the
 sound research that will characterize the careers of musicians such as Roedelius and
 Moebius in Germany.

 As the same subtitle reveals, this was æa new way of making musicÆ through the use of
 the electronic synthesizer û this happening in 1971 û with occasional interventions
 by the spinet and the Hammond organ. And, with the exception of other little
 masterpieces such as Il mondo dei Romani and Tra scienza e fantascienza, the most
 æavant-gardeÆ Umiliani can be found here, among tracks such as Synthi grottesco, the
 outstanding Synthetic Water, Synthi pianola and Synthi pastorale, excellent examples
 of a Maestro exploring new sounds and the future of the music. Often forgotten and
 overlooked even by those self-proclaimed Umiliani lovers and fans, Synthi Time is
 actually one of his best works.
