SUONARE SUONARE

A lot of great music was produced at the time this album came out, but as the first review here states, the giants of initial progressive rock movement all shifted away from their roots. As a purely Italian album, Suonare Suonare for me stands as PFM's greatest pure Italian album bringing Franz DiCioccio to the forefront as a vocalist in the style of the great Phil Collins without all the fanfare that Phil had as a soloist post-Genesis. I certainly won't try to compare the two, but I felt then and still today that he did a great job in that role and this album for me is quite special if it can't be considered a purely progressive album as their earlier work was and now their latest work is. www.pfmpfm.it and Live in Japan 2002 shows how how the best songs from that album are still relevant. Don't let the low rating of this album keep you from listening to this, but if you do, don't do so thinking you are going to hear Per Un Amico.
