Genre: Progressive
Year: 1972
About: Not only a masterpiece of Italian progressive, but of progressive rock in general, Premiata Forneria Marconi expand upon their debut record wonderfully. There is liberal use of acoustic guitar, and other non-electric instruments such as flute, piano, and violin, that echo from a lost Baroque era, as well as a more recent Symphonic approach with electric guitar, base, synthesizer, and mellotron. It's pure progressive in nature and swings both maniacally and smoothly between moods, tempos, and melodies. The vocals are smootly sung beautifully in their native tongue of Italian. Even to this day this stunning record doesn't seem dated.
Sounds Like: Gentle Giant, Emerson Lake & Palmer, Le Orme, Banco del Mutuo Soccorso
