📀 Per Un Amico
#ProgressiveRock #SymphonicRock
50 years ago Premiata Forneria Marconi from #Milan, #Italy released their 2nd studio album, it followed
👉 their debut earlier that year.
Per Un Amico ("For A Friend") was dedicated by Mauro Pagani to the fellow musician Claudio Rocchi.
From the dreamlike baroque intro to the epic symphonic outro, all different music styles in this album are executed in a gentle crescendo with no excesses or exaggeration.
Not sure if this is the best #PFM nor if this is the best Prog Rock, but in the first year of this channel I cannot think of better music I've been listening.
In this album:
#FrancoMussida - vocals, guitars, theorbo, mandocello
#FlavioPremoli -spinet, keyboards, Hammond organ, Minimoog, Mellotron, tubular bells, harpsichord, piano, vocals
#MauroPagani – piccolo, violin, flute, vocals
#GiorgioPiazza – bass, vocals
#FranzDiCioccio – drums, percussion, vocals

📀 Chocolate Kings
#ProgressiveRock
50 years ago Premiata Forneria Marconi (PFM) from #Milan, #Italy released their 5th studio album.
Unlike 👉 their previous album, Chocolate Kings came out only with lyrics and vocals in English.
#PFM, already famous internationally, hired former Acqua Fragile singer Bernardo Lanzetti, who had a better English pronounciation.
Unfortunately this release was followed by controversies.
The lyrics highly critical to the American system led to ostracism in that market in which PFM were the most appreciated Italian band.
The vocal performance of Lanzetti was (again) considered too similar (if not an imitation) to Peter Gabriel.
Founding member Mauro Pagani left the band.
Great album anyway ❤️🔥
