5 stars This is a great album. The music flows beautifully and there is some great interplay between the performers, especially keyboards and guitar. It is clear on the first listen that there are parallels with the UK school of prog - notably Genesis, ELP, Yes - with elements of jazz and Canterbury thrown into the mix. The vocals are excellent even though I have no idea what the lyrics mean. Despite this, they inspire me. I visited Italy (Florence) several years ago and loved the place. Having only recently discovered PFM, I feel a sudden desire to go back to Italy, immerse myself in the culture and have a proper go at learning the language. That's how good this album (and its predecessor - Storia Di Un Minuto) are.

When I started writing this, I had it in mind to give this one 4 stars. However, given how it makes me feel (I'm listening to it as I type) and considering what I have just written, I've really given myself no option than to give it 5 stars. If you have yet to experience the joys of PFM then waste no more time and pick up a copy of this essential album.
