This percussion themed album by legendary composer Piero Umiliani is worth downloading purely for the wild beats on "Dynamique En Beat N°2". However there is plenty more of interest as Piero adds his usual quirky flourishes to the mainly jazz and cinematic themed tracks. There are some truly out of control moments on "Jeunesse Problematique N°2" while "Contraste Rythmique" and "Marasme" exhibit African style rhthyms and the mysterious "Timbales Statiques" sometimes disappears completely into silence.  This record should hold equal interest for fans of library music, Piero Umiliani and experimental percussion. The track listing above is in a different order to that which appears on the rip. Thanks to the original uploader.
