Description

Album · 1976 · 8 Songs.

Jet Lag is the fifth album of the Italian progressive rock band Premiata Forneria Marconi, released in 1977 by Asylum Records in the US and Manticore Records in Europe. This album incorporates the use of fretless bass in the sound and has a jazzier feel in comparison to the band's previous efforts. Four of the five tracks with vocals are sung in English.

M. had been a pure '70s progressive rock band which had been strongly influenced by Emerson, Lake & Palmer and King Crimson. Jet Lag is nothing like that. It has very strong jazz elements with folk and world music influences mixed in as well. The album opens with "Peninsula", a beautiful mainly acoustic guitar instrumental. On the title track the heavy jazz influence is clearly heard.

The "Jet Lag" album is a real departure for PFM. For this one the band moved away from bombastic progressive rock and created an album focused on more fusion oriented jazz rock. How much you like this album will depend on how much you like this style. Being a fan of PFM's more heavy rock approach on their earlier stuff I am not as thrilled with this album as some people are. Still the instrumental sections are stellar and the more jamming aspect of the album does hit significant high points.

Jet Lag is the first release of theirs to cross this line, as it's noticeably less enjoyable than the previous year's Chocolate Kings. Still, it has its moments-the interlaced electric piano and violin of the lengthy title track and the instrumental "Left Handed Theory" salvage an otherwise forgettable effort.
