Two rare albums with short songs, bad sound and unfinished compositions. But I can't help. I like them.

A useless random fact - I have that remote at work.

Once it went missing for some weeks, and it was the only damn one to work a particular model of DVD player. It sucked, but luckily, just before buying a new one ($90 I think they were going to charge me) I discovered it in the guts of an old desk. Odd

Absolutly. I have the same feeling for many new and excellent RPI bands. Believe me I am the first to suffer.

Actually I know what you mean, I personally hardly ever get into new RPI bands. Something's missing, but this is just me I guess.

I am listening to PFM's boxset 35...e un minuto.  This really is some good stuff musically.  I still have a hard time with the Italians lyrics though.  Listening to a non-English language is just weird to me.  Just listened to the song K.N.A. and was hearing some Rush-like riffing going on in there.   Good stuff.

Have a glass of Chianti on PFM and you will have the impression to understand everything. Wink

Was Peter Hammill singing on The Sea Of Memories?  I was thinking that the voice sounded familiar and I see that he is listed as a guess on the boxset.  That was a really good song.  So is the next instrumental La Terra Dell'Acqua.  This is some great stuff.

No.  I only have access to Storia Di Un Minuto and Per Un Amico, and this boxset 35...e un minuto that I am currently listening too.  I might have to look and see if I can find some English versions.  Is it PFM that Peter Sinfeld wrote the English lyrics for, that were completely different that the lyrics than the band had written in Italian?

Well, It has been 1 week since I posted on this thread being interested in RPI and after some the advice given, I started with PFM-Per Un Amico.  Fell in love with the sound and went and purchased L'isola di Niente.  Next I got Le Orme-Uomo di pezza.
 
I can't stop listening to this stuff, over and over and over!  I actually do not want to hear an english version, I want the beauty of it just the way it is.
 
And as afore mentioned, a glass of Chianti does some very nice interpretations for me...

"L'isola Di Niente" is completly different from "Per un amico" but fantastic. L'uomo di Pezza is a masterpiece, Felona e Sorona and Contrappunti too.

Glad to hear you're enjoying it so much. There's so many more great RPI treats waiting for you! Wade in and enjoy!
