Re: COTM - #127 - PFM, Phylter, Weidorje (1978 again)

While I am not familiar with the last two bands, the PFM album you picked is actually one of my personal favorites. Everyone does a stint singing, and it is very good. Interestingly, while the album starts with Lanzetti, I can't help but feel that he was somehow either discarded or there was a mood of change because he would leave for good after this recording. Remember that he was a singer and did not really contribute with an instrument perse', but I believe I have seen some videos with him having a guitar in hand.

One of things I remember about this record and my early time in this community is talking to progdirjim about this record. I know he likes Lanzetti, but for some reason he was tentative on including this album in the library. I hope you agree it was well worth the effort to include it.

Following this album, PFM went on to record two live albums with Fabrizio De Andre'. I didn't really have an appreciation for this wonderful artist but those records are phenominal as well. But that is a story for another time...
