'Marconi Bakery' is a compilation of music from the first three Italian albums.
'The World Became The World' is another English-language album, but this time with the same music, so it's not as bad as 'Photos Of Ghosts'. The instrumentation is superb with fluid guitar, highly original synthesizer sounds, beautiful violin and flute, and ethereal vocals that are so important to the music, that replacing them with English vocals becomes a detriment. 'Per Un Amico' ('Photos of Ghosts') and 'L'Isola Di Niente' as well as their first, 'Storia Di Un Minuto' are all virtual classics of progressive music, obviously influenced by early KING CRIMSON and GENESIS yet sounding nothing like them. Sometimes compared with the early KING CRIMSON, the group had its own musical personality, with its elegant music. A great melodic and instrumental richness, somptuous compositions and arrangements.
A lyrical, romantic and delicate music, full of fineness. PFM developed a style which is uniquely Italian while maintaining links with the rest of the prog world. The pioneer of Italian Progressive groups, PREMIATA FORNERIA MARCONI (PFM for short) is one of the leaders of the 70s prog movement.
