L'ISOLA DI NIENTE

"L'isola di Niente" was the first PFM album to include bassist Patrick Djivas as a replacement of Giorgio Piazza and this new member brought a much jazzier style to the band, actually, this record sounds very fresh: in some way, the mix of symphonic, acoustic and rocky arrangements that were present in the two previous records of PFM were taken to a much more experimental level since they were obviously adding more and more original elements to their music.

The jazzy bass intro followed by the excellent instrumental improvisation (very in the vein of King Crimson and Mahavishnu Orchestra) to "Via Lumiere", the folky accordion final in "Is my face on straight" (which was PFM's first song written originally in English with lyrics by Peter Sinfield) and the softness of "Dolcissima Maria" were excellent innovations in the musical style of PFM. "La Luna Nuova" actually is the most similar to "Per un Amico" they made on this record. "L'isola di niente" is definitely the most amazing track of the album but every song on it has its own originality and greatness.
