Premiata Forneria Marconi – The World Became The World Manticore Records MC 66673 US 1974 The English language version of "L'Isola Di Niente" sung by Pete Sinfield after leaving King Crimson
I consider Wayner to be a resident Yes expert. I was more into the forgettable 80's one hit wonders and I was surprised to read that it came out in 83. Is it possible that this album is nearly 30 years old???Anyway, I read the liner notes and all of the songs are written collaboratively. Previously Anderson was the mainstay, even though each wrote songs on Fragile. So the first thing that struck me was that some of the lyrics appeared to make sense (at least I could understand them) unlike the typical cryptic Yes fare. Musicianship is excellent.Bottom line, I dunno when I will spin it again but I'm glad I have it. It was part of a small freebie collection, it's in good shape and is well recorded and the "price was right!"Paul
So Paul, Talking Heads '77? I will have to grab that one next time it pops up. My knowledge of their stuff is fairly scattered.
Paul, An excellent find! Thanks for your thoughts. They've compelled me to pull my copy. I bought it new in 83, I even slept out for the 90125 concert tour that year or spring 84. We didn't end up with great seats, if I recall we were way back in line, regradless it wasn't a disappointing concert. Yet all the radio AirPlay of 90125 turned me off of the lp at the time, now almost 30 years later I'll need to give it a spin Cheers,Jim
I know what you mean about Owner of A Lonely Heart. Sometimes overplay of a song, like I'm Not In Love by 10cc can turn you off to an otherwise wonderful record...Time to spin and re-evaluate a lot of that old stuff, eh?Paul
I have an American pressing of Chocolate Kings, probably not the best place to start. I love prog and will pick up the "Storia" and "Amico" albums when I see it.Paul
