Album Notes & Community Reviews

Released a mere ten months after their debut, PFM delivered another staggering, highly sophisticated pillar of Italian progressive rock. 'Per un amico' is wonderfully eclectic and fiercely complex, utilizing highly technical, shifting time signatures to paint beautifully progressive, deeply playful symphonic fantasy landscapes.
