Premiata Forneria Marconi - Chocolate Kings - Old Grey Whistle Test 1976 with great singer ex Acqua Fragile , Bernardo Lanzetti Thanks at Marco for incredible video
@fabrikk60 Same here! Technically this LP is actually superior to the previous 3, but they embarked on a different musical path that many hard core fans didn't like. I'm glad they did it :)
As a singer Bernardo Lanzetti was sure an acquired taste; people either love his voice or cannot stand it. Lots of PFM fans prefer the earlier albums without him, but Chocolate Kings is my favourite.
Here's my PFM story. I was a teen in Montreal and one day I was tuning the radio at random, looking for distant stations. A faint signal came in — the sound of a violin. I carefully tuned it and listened. And listened. Some American station was playing this AMAZING music. What was it? Please, please, please don't fade out, signal, until I find out who this is! And then the announcer told me. The next day I went to the store and bought Photos of Ghosts. :)
@andreaprodan I'm a huge fan of PFM but I wouldn't elevate them above Genesis, King Crimson or ELP. Indeed, while I have my issues with ELP's excesses, I'll always thank them for getting the Manticore label to bring PFM to my doorstep.

I think the problem is that the whole audio track is out-of-sync, not lip syncing per se.

@hope2prosper Only Gentle Giant sounds Gentle-Giantish! But I think I see what you're referring to, especially during that unique solo in this video.
