Description

PFM ‎– Chocolate Kings. Label: Numero Uno ‎– ZSLN 55684.

Chocolate Kings" may not be PFM's finest album, but there are some very good songs on it: Harlequin and Out On The Roundabout show that PFM still were going strong after high quality albums like "Per Un Amico" and "L'Isola Di Niente". Still, PFM were over their peak. 1975 PFM decide to record a full-length album only with English lyrics and so ''Chocolate kings'' was born. This brand new PFM chapter begins with ''From Under'',one of the most complex tracks ever written by the band but with the familiar PFM sensitivity,featuring complex violin breaks and bass lines along with nice organ. 'Harlequin'' continues the old school PFM style with evident GENESIS-influences throughout like the pastoral opening notes

Chocolate Kings is the sixth album by Italian progressive rock band Premiata Forneria Marconi. It was released in 1975 by Numero Uno, a division of RCA Records in Italy. It was also released with different cover art by Manticore Records in the UK and Asylum Records in the USA. It was the first album to include Bernardo Lanzetti (formerly singer of Acqua Fragile) on lead vocals.

Chocolate Kings is still very much a progressive rock album however, with fantastic playing all around and featuring ex-Acqua Fragile lead singer Bernado Lanzetti for the first time. The five tunes on Chocolate Kings range in length from 4'39 to 8'30 with four of the five tracks in the 7-8 minute range. In large part, this album is comprised of very high energy progressive rock with enough jaw-dropping playing to keep all prog fans very entertained. There are some nice dynamic contrasts too and the arrangements are simply top notch.
