PHOTOS OF GHOSTS

With apologies to the ones who think the original italian version is better, I must say i do prefer the english one. The main reason is that recording sound is far lower than this one. Ok, I love italian and I think it´s more suited to the music than english, but it works anyway. Besides, the italian version did not have their biggest hit, Celebration. That song is one of italy´s best exemple of a truly prog song that has an unmistakeable national mark.

Nevertheless, Photos Of Ghosts does not have the same impact as The World Became The World. I think it´s a little ragged at times and some songs do not work very well together. Make no mistake, none is crap and the good ones are excellent, like the opening River Of Life. Those guys are brilliant muscians and their work is, deserverly, considered italy´s best in the 70´s.

This is in my opinion PFM´s second best after The World Became The World, and a must have for any prog fan.
