Per Un Amico, Storia Di Un Minuto, Chocolate Kings, L'Isola Di Niente, Cook... these are all just incredible albums IMO. I just LOVE them. The English versions are good too, but I'm a bit of a purist with the Italian bands and prefer the originals. I just want to take this opportunity as I always do to also heap praise on Stati Di Immaginazione, which is a beautiful album.

One day I'll give 'Stati...' another spin. So far I hear nothing interesting in there at all. No chord changes, no gorgeous melodies, just sounds like jamming to me, which is fine, but from PFM I long for the killer compositions that are abundant on their earlier stuff. But like I said, I'll revisit it soon.
Why is it whenever someone mentions an artist that was clearly progressive (yet not the Symph weenie definition of Prog) do certain people feel compelled to snort "thats not Prog" like a whiny 5th grader?

I do like CK and JL, but not nearly as much as the first three. I think part of the problem for me was I never completely could warm to Bernado Lanzetti, who was just too over the top for me. Loved the vocals before he was involved. Also, they seemed to focus more on their abilities, rather than the mood, with Chocolate Kings. There are really strong moments on CK, Harlequin and Out of the Roundabout are quite good I think, but the strong mood that I love so much from the first three is almost gone, sadly never to return. Just a personal opinion, I know...
I like everything through Passpartu.
Bernado Lanzetti is annoying when he sings in english (worst on Chocolate kings), but on Passpartu he sings italian and is just great.
I have a later double LP live album 'Performance' that bores me to pieces.

I'm confused - is it La Luna Nuova or Four Holes in the Ground?
This album floors me! Their best!
