Mick: Check out their reviews...I'm going to petition the courts....
 Linus: Hearing Amico for the first time! I envy you...I wish I could be a PFM virgin again. Oh well, there's still lots of Italian I haven't heard yet so I get to have more fun too. |

It's always great with 'discoveries', even if it's a well-established band you feel like shouting about just how great it is to each and everyone
 . Albums that makes it personal are ALWAYS the best ones.

I fully agree with what was expressed in this review. also because "Stati Di Immaginazione", remember that was hailed as a masterpiece, to me it seems more child of albums like "Jet Lag" or "Racconti Della tenda Rossa" (by Franco Mussida [see MUSSIDA, FRANCO - Racconti Della Tenda Rossa]) that of albums like "Storia Di Un Minuto" or "Per Un Amico" or still "L'Isola Di Niente".

Well, my PFM rating/judgement is now ready:
1. Storia Di Un Minuto (sorry micky, but this one has something extra special to it ) 2. Per Un Amico (just as good as Storia Di Un Minuto, comes down to something else) 3. L'isola Di Niente (weakest of the three, but still good) |

I'm assuming this has been mentioned already, but since i don't have time to scroll through 50 pages i'll just say it:
Neil On Impression! fantastic post-rock band. One of my favorites now.  |

looking forward to your reviews of those two... would love to hear your thoughts in detail. Next is Le Orme for you? prepare to be swept away... hopefully you'll dig Aldo's voice.. took me a few listens to get with... but man... I love his voice. Check those two I suggested for you. |

Will review after a few more listens. I really want to delve in as deep as possible when it comes to these two
. But Per Un Amico is positively vibrant, and amazingly warm and rich in it's sound. And it sure feels like more than 34 minutes of music.

shame not everyone feels that way... saw some twit downgrade the album for being too short in his review once. As opposed to modern albums taking 34 minutes of good or great music.. and spreading it out over the 80 minutes allowed on a CD. pffff... |

I think it is justified in some cases, just as it is with albums of much quantity, but lower quality. But sure as hell not in this case
 .

Just out of curiosity, what is Le Orme like, in comparison to PFM? I feel kinda lazy right now and have a terrible cold, so I don't feel like reading reviews. I'll stay with the relaxing David Attenborough instead

oohhh.. forget the ELP imitator bullsh*t. while the sound is obviously heavily keyboard centric... it is far more expressive and passionate rather than the shear aggression of ELP. Also rather than having a heavy Hammond sound... Pagliuca was much like Wakeman in that he uses the whole range of keys ..and his sound on Felona e Sorona just sounds so different than what everyone else sounded like then. Remember we had a thread here, some time back, with some keyboardists trying to figure out his sound... Raff and I contacted him to find out.. he wrote back saying he didn't even remember.. old age must be a bitch indeed hahahha. |

Ok, sure sounds interesting. Having been heavily biased towards keyboard-centric music from the beginning, I even detested Deep Purple in the hazy mists of time past (five years ago
 ), it now starting to become my favourite type of music overall. Perhaps some psychological response to being a suppressed bass player, so often overshadowed by those damn flashy guitarists

hahahahah.. . oh we are peas in a pod then... same here... screw the freaking guitarists... You'll like Le Orme .. Aldo is a helluva bass player as well... and then there is Michi Dei Rossi. Wanna see Mandy drool... get him talking about Michi
. We saw them last year.. on their 40th anni tour ... and the man still can beat the hell of out of the drums like he did 30 years ago.

Man, you make me hungry for more music! Well, better pop to bed. It's 02.08 here in Sweden, so it's about time for it. Will spin Per Un Amico for the last time today (tomorrow?
 ) as well...just for the fun of it.Goodnight! |
