4 stars I'm reviewing this as someone with only a passing interest.PFM are probably just too 'jazzy' for my taste although without doubt they are great musicians.There are some beautifull moments here including some tasty live performances.The first disc is perhaps the best even if it is supposedly the inferior re-recorded English versions.Can't really fault it although on a creative level if this is their best then I can understand why they never became as popular outside their own country as in.It all dissappears at times in a haze of wonderous noodling.Easy to see why they were so highly rated as a live band.Overall solid 4 stars but I'm not encouraged to explore any further.
