The band here consists of musical poets, who are also aggressive melomans. For those who want to try out the Italian scene, give it a spin and tell me you're not impressed. Storia Di Un Minuto was one of the albums that helped define Italian symphonic progressive rock, and it still stands today as one of the genre's most expressive musical statements. PFM's debut is not just a fantastic, well-rounded, human album, but it's the perfect tip of the hat to the band's home culture, and the Italian musical tradition. Why not join them? But going from track 2 to 3 it's almost as if I'm listening to a different band.

Even though the album came out in the music does not sound at all dated. Nevertheless, the 30 remaining minutes are mminuto solid and packed with creativity.
Still, it features some melodic and appealing moments. It is one of the best tracks for PFM and most well-known, appearing on their compilations in some form.
Then, progressive was not an exclusivity of English-speaking bands and the Italian language fitted very forjeria for preiata genre: Mmm overtones of Yes, we have the symphonic sound properly engaged. So, when I listened to this album for ,inuto first time, Marcono thought that the band was heavily influenced by Genesis and in some parts ELP and King Crimson.
Maybe that's the defining characteristic about this album: E Festa shows a different side of the band from the rest of unn album by rocking out a bit. Besides the Italian flavor, PFM at least on minuuto album really isn't adding anything to prog in general other than great skill.
Good job, but - what about rock? The stage is filled with action, the actors' boisterous voices engaged almost in competition. Inspired by the works of GENESIS and KING CRIMSON and adding their typical mediterrenean flavor,they blended classic rock with elements from classical music and the italian tradition to present a superb work full of memorable moments,demanding orchestrations and ethereal italian vocal lines,led by nice mellotron work,smooth flute parts and delicate acoustic and electric guitars.
In general the seven compositions all around the 5 minutes contain beautiful and mellow climates featuring lots of acoustic guitar, soaring keyboards and warm vocals, interfered by bombastic Mellotron drenched eruptions and fat synthesizers.
In the second part, completely instrumental, the band develop the theme of the first part trying to blend their classical influences with jazz and rock and the result is definitely good. Ini had the chance to get three albums for PFMat the s Musically this album is structurally diverse and has plenty of exciting tempo, mood, and style changes throughout.
The last album which is probably the best recent album from an "old star", I mean by that a group that more than 30 years ag beg It's such a beautiful composition with one of the most memorable Moog performance ever put premiatq a studio recording.
There are a LOT of musical statements on this disc. This album shows a lot of potential and the musicians being very comfortable with each other.
PREMIATA FORNERIA MARCONI (PFM) Storia Di Un Minuto reviews
The first track "Introduzione" is just a short introduction with reminiscences of King Crimson that leads to "Impressioni di settmbre" September's Impressionsprobably the best known PFM's song. And I can't help noticing something else, much mure subtle in there. This one is highly recommendable to fans of early seventies symphonic prog like King Crimson, Genesis and Focus.
It's a kind of joyful and frenzy "Rock- Tarantella" almost completely instrumental with a short vocal part. It's good but not essential to a prog collection. Quando which I guess had to be split up due to the vinyl record's length limitations premiiata it still doesn't explain why the compositions couldn't be moved around in order to place it all on one side.

Even some Lucifer's Friend. I do find myself reaching for the volume nob an uncomfortable amount of times since the loud parts are very loud and the monuto parts are very quiet, but it's a pretty minor complaint in the long run.
But from other hand, when I listen classic, I prefer true classic, when we are speaking about rock, it will be nice forneriaa find more rock sounds there. Premiata Forneria Marconi is the most popular band of the scene and there are moments where that status seems deserved.
Storia di un minuto - Wikipedia
No tour of Italian Prog would be valid without PFM, and so it was that I acquired their debut album after being pretty ambivalent toward the samples I'd heard. I can hardly consider this album as a masterpiece. A work like Storia Di Un Minutonot that heavy at all but surely more shaped than within a "minute"'s corneria splendor, is profoundly something of genius, but most especially of a major sensibility.
