Walter Maioli, an Italian avant-garde musician who played a key role as a primary member of Aktuala in the 1970s alongside Lino Capra Vaccina and Trilok Gurtu, and later collaborated with Riccardo Sinigaglia on projects like Futuro Antico in the 80s. His album, released in 2021 on the cutting-edge label Villa Lontana Records in Rome, has been reissued with a redesigned pink cover. The reissue includes unreleased recordings from 2002 to 2020, showcasing Maioli's astonishing range from field recordings to collaborations with various artists. The content is a mesmerizing exploration of third-world dimensional music, blending ethnic acoustic elements with electronics. The mastering and cutting are exceptional, contributing to a meticulously crafted production. Highly recommended.
