Each performs its specific task wonderfully. The verses appear again for a brief time before the first moog theme comes again and is repeated a few times with different arrangements, including a solo in the background. PFM are far and away the most popular of all Italian prog rockers, Le Orme coming in a distant second. PFM, in contrast, takes the big keys and Moody Blues airiness and adds a much more economic sense of composition and monstrously better focus within each song. Fortunately the album's highlight compositions comes early in the shape of Impressioni Di Settembre and lightens the mood. It's such a beautiful composition with one of the most memorable Moog performance ever put on a studio recording.

The last album which is probably the best recent album from an "old star", I mean by that a group that stofia than 30 years ag beg The very short first side never really lifts me beyond that strange mediocre mix. Part 2 and the bit disjointed La Carroza di Hans.
Then, progressive was not an exclusivity of English-speaking bands and the Italian language fitted very well for the genre: In Storia, I hear a group of musicians who are quite comfortable playing with each other, as well as playing off each other, but still left a bit on the table in the songwriting department.
One of my favourite albums of Italian progressive rock and I might add: The album version is slightly different from the single version, but I foorneria them both.

The music on this album is so melodious, with oodles of acoustic guitar, piano, synthesizer, Mellotron and organ. There's a pleasant acoustic guitar track. It is hard to tell which one is best, but what's for sure is that "Impressioni" is the best song out of this debut album.
This album is for me directly linked to "Per un amico" and is "as good as" with all that makes us dream: To be fair, Storia Di Minugo Minuto is a compendium of approaches to Western music, from energetic centuries-old classical piano to modern flute-led jazz - - and that's just on the two parts of "Dove No matter where I set the volume on my speakers I always have to pick up the remote and adjust it as this one minute tune progresses.
A light meal and a private concert, courtesy of the solo guitarist serenading the room; his technique is impeccable, but never distracting from the romance of the setting.
The dreamscape is fractured by a fast tempo of jazz infused rhythms and flute. Impressioni di Settembre 5: Articles with short description Articles with hAudio microformats.
STORIA DI UN MINUTO
Mellotron and cymbal crashes denote a change in directions at 1: I like some classical music sometimes, solooking from that side, I realy hear plenty of beautiful harmonies and originality in this early music of PFM. Song-wise, there isn't one over seven minutes but they use every second magnificently.
Good job, but - what about rock? Exotic names that say very little to me, but they must have a tremendous effect on the music, and certainly add miuto of that unique, dreamy and often laid-back feeling.

My personal hero is Mauro Pagani, playing wonderful flute macro-arrangements and ample sonorities - somehow, I am also sure many will love the piquant guitar frenzy, interpreted by Franco Mussida, and di Cioccio's vocal ethereal lead.
Another reason why I prefer their debut over the second album is that I hear a much more personal sound here. Here it's hard not to be impressed by their collective musical ability.
Storia di un minuto - Wikipedia
Due to somewhat uneven flow and quality of songs, I see this as an overly qualified 4-star album--particularly considering that this is a debut in but just short of a masterpiece. You will realise how good Per un Amico is and be very pleasantly surprised.
I'm less interested personally in hearing the Italian take on English influences than the actual unique qualities that draws u to those small groups that cooked their magnum opus straight from their heart and hometown, with little thought about what the foreign press were raving about. The big difference here is of course the Italian lyrics.
I would assume that Miinuto Festa is considered this album's highlight since it's the only track off this release that made it to the band's English-language re-release album a year later.
