Italian composer PIERO UMILIANI is one of the most essential figures for anyone whose musical adventures range across library music, soundtrack digging and beyond. It's a wonder these first-class works went unreissued for so long, but now they're arriving on vinyl one after another. This one, from 1975, was built around the theme of an invitation to the islands of Polynesia (Tahiti, Bora Bora and more), weaving in percussion, synthesizers and chorus for a Martin Denny-esque Polynesian exotic, imaginary and elegant delight. Its contemporary percussion-minimal soundworld is thrilling too. A supreme relaxing sound trip that carries you somewhere far away, beyond magical exotic islands. A masterpiece.
