I have just booked it. Finally PFM is back to progressive . The sounds are "modern" to such a point that my 17 years old son , fan of Dream theathers , really like it. Great CD

You can get it, for a reasonable price, right away, from www.btf.it.

I buy all my PFM cd's from there (they're an Italian outfit, with whom trading is very safe, and I speak out of experience). Actually, not all of them, since I do happen to order from Japan sometimes - I got a much 24 bit/K2 superior-sounding copy of Cook from Japan, for a lot less than in the States).

I have my copy of Dracula on the way, just ordered it last Friday, on the very day it became officially available.

well....is really a different kind of album you are waiting from PFM.

Is a progressive kind of, really good played, intense, but is clear that is written for a rock opera: listen for instance to "Male d'Amore", the influence coming from "Jesus Christ Superstar" is quite evident.

The general atmosphere of the album is a dark-romantic one: is based on the Dracula sadness to be that way.

He is in love but he cannot express his love because "he is killing those that are crossing his path".

All titles of the track list are clearly expressing this concept: "Love border- Is not an incubus, is the reality - The why's castle - Don't look at me - Death never die".

"Overture" is a classic PFM song, so romantic and so powerfull: a diamond coming from the the band's roots, even better than early seventies songs.

These progressive roots are also present with great evidence in "Il castello dei perchè" ( the why's castle ) where Premoli is playing keyboards like Rick Wakeman and the instrumental part is again a jewel.

"Non guardarmi" ( Don't look at me ) is another romantic piece, where you can find how great are these musicians.

In my opinion this album is an expression of how good musicians are Franz, Franco, Flavio and Patrick especially in those song played together with the simphonic orchestra.

In the last song appear as guest singer Dolcenera, a young italian singer with an excellent voice: I think that this is the first time PFM has as guest a female voice.

In the end these words written on the cover "within us the well and the badly are indivisible, two lips of the same wound" are the expression of the climax of this work.

I like it!

it seems to me two different projects.

they are playing music while the movie is displayed on screen.

pfm wrote a rock opera that will be on stage on theaters.

Why rubber? there are many dracula's movies....and, moreover, the idea of this rock opera is by the italian producer David Zard.

Zard asked to a lyricist to write lyrics...and to pfm to write and perform the music based on the lyrics: so we are far away form a rubber idea....

Since this is an opera rock, Dracula is very different from what PFM has made in the seventies, but it is very well done and well inspired. Best thing released since Chocolate kings IMHO.
