RARE....Original 1972 ITALIAN first pressing GATEFOLD of great and legendary Italiano Progressive....

This album has a mood that shifts around constantly from heavenly to beautiful, to dark and haunting, all while keeping your attention the entire way. With influences of King Crimson, Emerson, Lake and Palmer, Caravan, Yes and Jethro Tull (strangely enough, not Genesis however) not to mention a few surprising moments, such as an Irish-sounding arrangement on "Generale" and Beach Boys-like soaring harmonies on "Geranio".

Don't worry about the fact the vocals are in Italian. If you don't know the language, it doesn't matter because the amazingly large variety of musical instruments, and the diverse style of songwriting will win you over very quickly. We especially love how the entire album was worked on carefully to make every song as perfect as possible.
Everything just clicks together perfectly with these musicians, with beautifully interwoven melodies, rapidly changing time signatures and some good hard jamming.

The most obvious influence is early King Crimson, by the way the flutes sound and the pleasant vibes in the atmosphere (similar to Crimson's first album). The emotions flow throught the album, with the best and coolest effects -for a 1972 record. Check this one out, specially the incredible "Il Banchetto". If you like classic prog, you will find out that is really not important to speak Italian to enjoy this masterpiece. "Il Banchetto" really shows the band at their best. There's even some keys in there that sounds like it came right off ELP's Brain Salad Surgery (although be aware, Brain Salad Surgery was not released until a year after Per Un Amico) and also the wonderful use of Moog and even harp. There's a lot going on here ... "Appena Un Poco" is very much in typical PFM fashion, acoustic, pastoral, and great vocal harmonies; a little King Crimson, it bears a small resemblance to Crimson's "Epitaph". If you're a love Italian progressive rock, this album is a must in your collection. Appena un Pó [7:46]

Generale [4:13]

Per Un Amico [5:20]

Il Banchetto [8:34]
