Moggi
Tra Scienza E Fantascienza

Moggi aka Piero Umiliani is one of those forgotten musicians who contributed so much to the making of today's trends and styles thanks to his musical scores and early adoption of electronic instruments. His Moggi project was reserved strictly for this latter vision and 1980's Tra Scienza E Fantascienza (translated as "Between Science And Sciene Fiction") is a gorgeous future jazz LP which has been undoubtedly sampled and twisted by many beat-makers over the years, its dense bursts of brass instruments, percussion and electronic manipulation make for the perfect blend of experimentalism, one that's abstract and yet controlled, sleek in its approach. A masterful reissue.
