After their incursion in Jazz Fusion with "Jet lag", PFM launched "Passpartù" which was more oriented to a pop-rock and even folkish kind of record. The title track of the album is an instrumental piece that sounds as if they were trying to ambient the reception of a hotel while pieces as "I Cavalieri del tavolo cubico" and "Su una Mosca e sui Dolci" show a musical maturity that gives no space to improvisation. A nice detail about this album is that they were once again singing in Italian, probably the American market was not so demanding with their catalog but it is really nice to see them going back to their roots.

Maybe if this album had much more keyboards, flutes, or violins, maybe with more ambitious drum patterns or maybe some more energic riffs would have made this album an excellent one, but there is a feeling of incompleteness, a weird void that wasn't filled with the modest tracklist this album has to offer.
