PFM - Premiata Forneria Marconi
By Tony Payne
Premiata Forneria Marconi (PFM) are one of Italy's most influential progressive rock bands. Formed in the 1960's, achieving worldwide success in the 70's, and making comebacks with a world tour in 2002, their music is as relevant today as it ever was. In my opinion, the arrangements of many of the songs on their 2002 Live In Japan double CD are the best ever, better than the originals. The band's name comes from "Premiata" meaning "Number One" and "Forneria Marconi", which was a bakery in Chiari, a small town near Brescia in italy. PFM gained recognition in the early days as a support band to other well known bands touring Italy at the time, like Procol Harum, Yes and Deep Purple. The founding members of the band, Franz Di Cioccio, Franco Mussida, Flavio Premoli and Mauro Pagani are still the driving force behind this legend. You are invited to discover their discography, listen and watch clips from some of their more well known songs, and if you like what you hear/see, I strongly recommend Live In Japan either as a 2-CD set or on DVD. This is the best PFM CD I have heard yet. The concert is great - I added several clips from You Tube on this page so you can get a feel for their unique musical style. PFM on Squidoo
