JET LAG

In "Jet lag", PFM sounded like most of the Canterbury Scene and Jazz Fusion bands that I don't enjoy listening to very often (Gilgamesh, Soft Heap, Soft Machine, Return to Forever, and Mahavishnu Orchestra to name a few): music filled with very stingy and annoying moogs and very aggressive bass lines. It's not that I don't like Jazz fusion, but those particular elements are always really hard to digest to me. Most of the songs on this record are instrumental improvisations and the few songs that include lyrics are not very memorable, I'd dare to say this is a very average PFM record and probably their least interesting record in the seventies.

Further than the excellent acoustic opening track "Peninsula", the album is completely out of my taste; don't get me wrong: if you enjoy this kind of seventies electric jazz this could be a great acquisition, but since I'm not at all in love with this musical style, I'll only listen to this in very scarce occasions and that would be only to check if my opinion changes a bit.

SONG RATING: Peninsula, 4 Jet lag, 3 Storia in "LA", 2 Breakin' in, 3 Cerco la lingua, 3 Meridiani, 3 Left-handed theory, 2 Traveler, 2

AVERAGE: 2.75

PERCENTAGE: 55
