5 stars Premiata Forneria Marconi's debut album - which includes re-recorded versions of two songs from their debut single from the previous year - showcases their wonderful brand of pastoral prog. In terms of approach, Genesis is the obvious influence that I can detect - not surprising, considering that Gabriel and company had just made it big in Italy the previous year - but at the same time PFM attain a sound which Genesis themselves never quite captured on their own albums. It's a perfect blend of the acoustic, medieval-tinged music of Trespass and the more bold and brassy approach showcased on Nursery Cryme, with some jazzy interjections reminiscent of early King Crimson. Blending these elements seamlessly, PFM create an individual sound and an album unique of being considered alongside the best of their inspirations - and a perfect entry point for anyone wishing to explore the Italian prog scene. Five stars.
