Among all the aliases used by the great Piero Umiliani, M. Zalla is perhaps his richest and surprisingly multifarious: mainly used to produce experimental records that had little commercial appeal, this \u2018nom de plume\u2019 (along with Moggi) is tied to memorable episodes of his career, releases such as \u201cProblemi d\u2019oggi\u201d (literally \u201cToday\u2019s Problems\u201d), \u201cMondo inquieto\u201d (i.e. \u201cAn Unsettling World\u201d), and also \u201cSuspense\u201d, now reissued by Schema Records.<\/p>\n
And if titles such as those mentioned above may somehow disguise the musical content (electronic music, by the way), \u201cSuspense\u201d perfectly anticipates what you will hear in its seventeen songs. A full-black front cover, the title written with yellow coloured typeface (it couldn\u2019t be any different) for an album that promises tension, gloomy atmospheres, mystery and, needless to say, suspense elements that convey anxiety and distress. Thanks to the clever use of Moog and keyboards, combined with magnificent orchestral arrangements, the tracks rapidly flow one after another in a crescendo that leaves you breathless, to cite the title of one of the best tracks.<\/p>\n
And, speaking about the titles of the tracks, what better way to introduce this reissue to the public other than quoting \u201cSuspense notturna\u201d, \u201cPaura sul fondo\u201d, \u201cKiller\u201d, \u201cInquieto\u201d, \u201cSuspense angosciosa\u201d, \u201cEvasione notturna\u201d and my favourite one, \u201cSuspense atomica\u201d. A treat for your ears, and another fundamental piece to reconstruct the story of a Master of Italian music. Lean back in your chair and turn off the light…<\/p>\n
