Premiata Forneria Marconi (PFM) is an Italian progressive rock band that has been active since the early 1970s. Their latest album, Nights Of Celebration, is a delightful addition to their repertoire. The album features eight tracks, each showcasing the band's signature sound of complex arrangements, intricate melodies, and virtuosic performances.
The album opens with the title track, "Nights Of Celebration," a lively instrumental piece that sets the tone for the rest of the album. It is followed by "We're Not An Island," a song with a catchy chorus and a driving rhythm section. "Morning Freedom" is a slower, more introspective track that showcases the band's ability to create beautiful melodies.
One of the highlights of the album is "The Lesson," a song that features a guest appearance by former Genesis guitarist Steve Hackett. Hackett's guitar work adds a new dimension to the song, making it one of the standout tracks on the album.
