Sounds interesting. Care to share some links or titles?

 

[theMan]

ok, so the best albums I've heard so far are:

Per un Amico by Premiata Forneria Marconi
Zarathustra by Museo Rosenbach
Alphataurus by Alphataurus

they're pretty hard to get your hands on though.

but i'm not joking... these things are on the Dark Side of the Moon level of epic.

If ProgArchives says they are good (all "top albums" are over 4 stars), then it must be good. Will have to check it out.

I saw PFM live in 75 or 76 at Le Capitol in Québec City. They were using ELP's old instruments, so the sound was really loud in a smaller theatre.

Only LP of theirs I have is Cook.
