Premiata Forneria Marconi performing live during the 'Notte Per Te' festival in August, 2007. Background information Origin, Italy Genres Years active 1970–present Members Gianluca Tagliavini Piero Monterisi Past members Giorgio Piazza Bernardo Lanzetti Gregory Bloch Walter Calloni Roberto Gualdi Premiata Forneria Marconi (PFM) (translation: Award-winning Marconi Bakery) is an band. PFM were the first group to have success abroad, entering both the and charts.
Between 1973 and 1977 they released five albums with English lyrics. They also had several successful and tours, playing at the popular in England and on a very popular national television program in the United States. PFM introduced new sounds, such as the, to the Italian musical world.
They were also among the first to combine and traditional influences in a context. Such innovations and their longevity have earned PFM a place among the most important bands in the genre. From left to right: Patrick Djivas, Franz Di Cioccio, Franco Mussida. The original core members of PFM were (guitars, vocals), (keyboards), Luciano Dovesi (bass), who preceded Giorgio Piazza (bass), and (drums, vocals).
They came together in the mid 1960s while playing together as backup musicians for many different Italian pop, rock and folk singers such as, and. They appeared on many recordings for other artists during this period and quickly established themselves as top players on the Italian scene before forming the group 'I quelli' (English translation 'Them', or 'Those Guys') in 1968. I quelli released one album and some successful Italian singles. Premiata Forneria Marconi was officially formed in in 1970 when the members of I quelli met from the group Dalton. Pagani helped the group expand their sound to include violin and flute. By this time they were already highly experienced musicians who were easily able to play the kind of complex progressive heavy rock played by the leading English and American groups.
Their early live performances included songs by groups such as and. Other early influences included, and. They had a long name, as Italian progressive bands tended to have back then (, etc.), and so were usually referred to as 'La Premiata', and later 'PFM'. After rejecting (an Italian car maker) the group finally settled on Pagani's suggestion, 'Forneria Marconi' (meaning 'Marconi Bakery'), borrowed from the sign of a shop in the small town of Chiari, near. However, record producer and friend Alessandro Colombini suggested the name was not strong enough, so the title 'Premiata' (award-winning) was added.
Some objected that 'Premiata Forneria Marconi' was too long a name, but the group's philosophy stated that the more difficult to remember a band's name, the more difficult to forget it. Italian and international success (1971–1975).
Patrick Djivas. Following the release of Photos of Ghosts bass player Giorgio Piazza left the group, being replaced by, who has remained with the group since. The next PFM album release in Italy was in 1974. Highlights of the album include 'Dolcissima Maria' (English title: 'Just Look Away') and the instrumental 'Via Lumiere' (English title: 'Have Your Cake and Beat It'.) Again a similar English language version of the album was released by Manticore as (1974). The English album included another re-recording of 'Impressioni di settembre' as the title track. This was their last collaboration with Peter Sinfield, as the group were not entirely pleased with the content of his English lyrics. On the 1974 U.S.
Tour PFM played concerts with, and. They were a victim of theft just before the concert with on July 25 at the in. Among the loot: a 1969 and a (with three pickups which had 'Altaloma' engraved on them) as well as two bass guitars. Concerts were recorded in and, Canada. These recordings were released in the U.S. As PFM's final album for Manticore, titled, Cook. The album spent 8 weeks on the Billboard 200 chart, and peaked at #154 in January 1975.
The same recordings were used with different artwork for the next European album titled. PFM reached their biggest American audience when they appeared on 's program on February 21, 1975. Their nationally televised performance included 'Celebration' and the instrumental 'Alta Loma Nine 'till Five'.
1975–1978 The lack of a strong lead vocalist had always been considered PFM's biggest liability so, for this reason, they enrolled Bernardo Lanzetti, who was previously with the group. While a college student, Lanzetti had lived in for a few years. But most importantly he had a powerful and distinctive voice and could speak fluent English. The first release by the six-piece band was in 1975. Featuring a harder rock sound, it had modest success at home but was their least popular album in Italy so far. The same album was released with different cover art by Manticore in the UK and by in the US. The controversial US/UK cover showed a chocolate bar in a partially peeled wrapper on the front, along with the crumpled and discarded wrapper on the back.
PFM appeared on the television show in 1976 performing the title track to the album. The album reached the UK top 20 but was less successful internationally. Mauro Pagani left the group following Chocolate Kings to pursue a solo career.
Lanzetti also appeared on (1977), an album highly influenced by the movement, which was recorded in. This was their last album with English lyrics and the last album released in the U.S., also on Asylum. Violinist Gregory Bloch, previously with the group, replaced Mauro Pagani but stayed for only one album. For (1978) PFM added two new percussion players and shifted stylistic direction once again. The album contains seven songs in Italian and one instrumental, characterized by an international pop music style; an early example of what today is known as '. The album contains mostly acoustic guitar and draws from Italian folk and Latin music as well as Jazz-Pop styles, somewhat like. This was the last album to feature Lanzetti, who then left to pursue a solo career.
Review Summary: A cracking return to form of one of the legendary Rock Progressivo Italiano bands of the early 70's. Back in the heyday of progressive rock around the early to mid 70's there were a whole host of Italian bands exploding onto the scene.
Collectively these were classified under the banner of RPI or Rock Progressivo Italiano. PFM (Premiata Forneria Marconi) are probably the most famous of these Italian prog outfits and their first two releases are often rated highly up alongside the British classics such as Yes's masterpiece 'Close to the Edge' and 'Selling England By The Pound' by Genesis. After their triumphant golden years PFM released a steady stream of albums that never quite lived up to their reputation and slowly faded into relative obscurity.
After a partial return to form on 'Dracula Opera Rock' in 2005 they released their best album for 30 years in the form of 'Stati di Immaginazione' a year later. Anyone who has heard the undoubted PFM classics such as 'Per Un Amico' and 'Storia Di Un Minuto' will find a rather different approach on this album. The band had been reduced to a three-piece by the time this was recorded and it takes a purely instrumental format in support of a DVD that was released alongside it. Furthermore the experimental days are long gone and the guys seem content to relax and dish up some modern jazzy symphonic prog with a small nod of the head back to their glory days.
Music Premiata Forneria Marconi
There is a pastoral quality in the vein of early Genesis to some of the music which had been missing from their work for a long time and there are classical influences in abundance. Highlights include the driving 'Cyber Alpha' which almost acts as a showcase for guitarist Franco Mussida with it's weaving and emotive lead guitar melodies and frantic wahwah soloing. Opener 'La Terra Dell’acqua' with its echoing acoustic guitar intro and eddying synth melodies recalls the glory days of the 70's.
Violins overlay the dreamy backdrop until the bass takes over to drive the song into a jazzy middle section which falls away to a beautiful soaring piano melody before Mussida's tasteful lead guitar brings the the song to a close. Alongside the progressive sensibilities there is a fair helping of the romantic leanings that mark out a lot of RPI music, these are Italians after all. The trio sound really tight on this album and there is a live feel to the whole affair, an urgency that makes the music come alive in a way that their releases throughout the last 30 years never managed to. PFM came across as pretty much a spent force throughout the years leading up to the millenium and one would hardly have expected them to ever approach the genius of their first few releases. However, they confounded fans and critics alike with this incredible return to form in 2006 and while not quite reaching the heights of their formative years 'Stati di Immaginazione' stands as a brilliant entry in their long and varied discography. An essential purchase for RPI fans and indeed any fan of the sort of symphonic prog that was served up by some of the early greats of the 70's.
