I agree, one of the best in early '70s. Since Passpartu, unfortunately, just a poor commercial band (specially, last two studio albums are terrible)

PFM isn't my favorite italian prog band, but they're still pretty darn good. As far as importance goes, they're probably second only to Banco...and they give us a pretty wide range in their career, when a lot of my favorite italian bands could only stay together for an album or two. |

Compared to? I think of PFM as precursors of not only well crafted symphonic prog rock, but of elegant and determinat musical instrumentation. Some of their releases may be disregarded if you wish, but the early works and years of the band where a definitive point of departure for most of the bands to come. PFM is an underrated band, like most of what it's done surrounding the Italian Symphonic Prog (e.g. Museo Rosenbach, Quella Vecchia Locanda, Consorzio Acqua Potabile, etc) where the only remains of proper recognition set off in names like BANCO DEL MUTUO SOCCORSO and Le ORME. Peace!

I've got 'Chocolate Kings'.I rate it at about 3 stars (some good tracks 'Harlequin' and 'Out of The Roundabout' but inconsistent overall).Havn't heard much else from them although Greg Lake and ELP held them in high regard and toured with them in 1972.

True true what you're sayin'man,if you then add an album of the start of the 80s from P.F.M.like this one we'll possibly think that prog.sympho.rock was up for a crisis period
