PREMIATA FORNERIA MARCONI (PFM for short) is one of the legendary Italian prog rock bands, they made a sery of beautiful albums in the Seventies.
This LP is a registration of a concert from 1974 while touring in the USA, to me it’s a perfect compilation of their best work and showcases the band at its pinnacle. PFM starts with “Four Holes In The Ground”: a propulsive rhythm and a catchy melody, delivering fat Minimoog synthesizer runs, some fiery electric guitar and impressive Hammond organ and majestic Mellotron waves in the mellow interludes. The English vocals sound warm and the interplay between the skill full musicians is great. Next is “Dove … Quando” with a classical/jazzy intro on the Fender Rhodes electric piano, turning into a duet from sparkling piano and beautiful Italian vocals. “Just Look Away” has a splendid acoustic guitar intro (featuring elements like tremolo – and sensational rhythm guitar), followed by twanging acoustic guitar, soft Minimoog flights and warm English vocals. The build-up is great with Hammond and flute and a closing section with again tremolo guitar. The ‘crowd-pleaser’ “Celebration” is a cheerful and catchy composition, delivering spectacular Minimoog runs and swirling interplay. The ‘grand finale’ includes the moving final part of “The World Became The World”, enjoy the Mellotron floods! Then “Mr. Nine Till Five”, a track with PFM at their best with the distinctive interplay between flute, Moog and violin. The final song “Alta Loma Five Till Nine” includes a long and bluesy guitar solo with a strong build-up, supported by violin- Mellotron, featuring howling and biting licks, superb! The second part has a moving violin soli, culminating in a version of Rossini’s piece “William Tell Overture” with virtuosic play on the Moog synthesizer and violin, what a way to say good by. This is my favourite PFM LP!progarchives.com
