Hay cosas que son al pedo reseñar, son los tanos de oro en Japón, ¿qué más hace falta decir?... Pueden tener otra muestra en todo caso, pero no voy a perder tiempo reseñando ésto que todos conocen.



Si quieren reseñas, acá van algunas en inglés, pero les aclaro que todas dicen lo mismo: no te pierdas esto que está excelente!





Aquí las reseñas en inglés:

This is a real treat, what an amazing music from Italian progrock legend PFM, featuring three original members. Some hair was lost or has become grey but the band sounds very inspired and so virtuosic! PFM plays 25 songs including strong and exciting renditions from 'classics' like La Carozza Di Hans", Photos Of Ghosts", "Dove .. Quando", "Il Banchetto", "Mr 9 Till 5", "E Festa" (aka "Celebration") and "La Luna Nuova" (aka "Four Holes In The Ground"). Lots of outstanding soli on piano, acoustic - and electric guitar, keyboards and violin (special guest Lucio Fabbri). Some tracks from the later, more commercial era sound a bit polished but in general this DVD delivers outstanding progrock (the Japanese fans go wild, what a perfect atmosphere) from the best Italian progrock band ever. GREAT!
Erik Neuteboom

It's a remarkable video representation concerning their return in Japan: therefore this latter country alone has always been appreciating such beloved Italian progressive bands - including of course PFM- for many years in the seventies and afterwards (still regarding of some other Italian bands like BMS, Balletto di Bronzo, etc.); so - by thinking of the period concerning for instance the famous concerts of ELP with PFM- whose constant mutual collaboration moreover had already been generated in the American and Japan Tour by ELP, I'm quite excited also about the whole DVD!! PFM supported ELP during the Chocolate Kings Tour for example and the present gig sometimes reminds me of those incredible years!!
Instead, coming back to the concert filmed in Kawasaky, I'm not completely satisfied about a few takes filming them on stage in some further moments, especially talking about the scenes concerning their instrumental interplays, being not so much in evidence. But after all it's a minor defect, above all if you consider the happy choice concerning a good amount of immortal songs: in fact you can find some classics within, like for instance "La Luna Nuova", "La Carrozza di Hans" and even the ever-green ballad entitled "Impressioni di Settembre". Certainly the production is pretty good and besides - as PFM nowadays is a simple pop rock band, in spite of enriching sometimes their stuff by means of some electronic and experimental moods, it seems to be lacking their old inspiration. As a matter of fact you could remain a little bit disappointed about them, yet They are always conscious of their role, as important musicians whose impact live (in particular in this place) is reasonably powerful!! Moreover their huge experience let them play all their tunes enthusiastically, even though sometimes the guitar solos by Mussida are performed with an uneven execution. at the end never mind, cause the output of the whole opera is surprising!!
Important recent live witnessing another remarkable reunion!!

What do you expect to see a live performance from a band who was successful in the past and not present anymore with new albums? Usually, you might see the performance is very disappointing because they can no longer perform their old tunes wonderfully. But, that's not the case with PREMIATA FORNERIA MARCONI (PFM). Their performance - recorded live on May 12th, 2002 at Club Citta in Kawasaki, Japan - is really awesome and a gem that any prog rock fan, especially those who love PFM in the past, must see this DVD.
The video starts with applaud from the crowd welcoming members of the band come up on stage. The show kicks off with La Carozza Di Hans, a very dynamic composition that blends various styles with changing tempos. All musicians perform their role marvelously. Franco Mussida takes a position at front with his guitar while performing lead vocal in alternate with Flavio Premoli who sits with his keyboard at right wing of the stage (crowd view). Patrick Djivas (bass) stands at Mussida's right and Lucio Fabbri (violin) stands at leftmost wing of the stage, close to Djivas. The band's energetic drummer Franz Di Cioccio plays his drum set with passion and energy and he becomes the key attraction of the show. Excellent opener.
What truly amazes me is when the band performs River of Life, my all-time favorite PFM track. The track starts off wonderfully with perfect acoustic guitar work by Mussida. The combination of keyboard, acoustic guitar and violin work during intro part is really fabulous. Mussida changes his guitar to electric one and sings the song with his heart. He seems too old but his voice is really powerful and transparent. I especially enjoy the part in the middle of the track where Djivas plays his bass guitar solo combined with guitar and keyboard. It's really cool. The song itself is very melodic and composed with symphonic nuance. Great composition and flawless performance! Photos Of Ghosts continues the show featuring great violin solo by Lucio Fabbri. Those of you who are familiar with this song will be amazed seeing the band performs this song on stage as it is delivered lively and better than the original studio version. Fabbri also plays acoustic guitar during this song. At track 5/5, Peninsula, Cioccio takes the microphone continued with Japanese speaking words by Mussida.

If anyone has read my reviews, they'll know that I'm a fan of PFM (PREMIATA FORNERIA MARCONI). However until now I had never bothered to check out the DVD "Live In Japan 2002". Big mistake. What a fantastic set (more than two hours of music) and a well-produced video. Watching it really makes me wish I had been in the audience. The filming is slick, and the audio and video quality are top notch.
Fans of early PFM will not be disappointed, as the old favourites -- plus a few numbers from later albums "Chocolate Kings", "Jet Lag", "Suonare Suonare" and "Serendipity" -- are included and played with gusto. In fact, the enthusiasm of the group is delightful. Di Cioccio (drums & vocals) and Mussida (guitars & vocals) certainly look their age but, boy, do they deliver, as do Premoli (keyboards & vocals) and Djivas (bass & vocals, and recorder on Dolcissima Maria).
I'm not normally a fan of live improvisations as they are often below par, but in this concert I find the various improvisations enjoyable, especially Premoli's on the Roland piano as I'm a keyboard fan.
Guest musicians Lucio Fabbri (violin, keyboards & guitar) and Piero Monteresi (drums) meld well with the other group members. The group all look relaxed and are evidently enjoying themselves. They never look bored and do all the pieces justice even though they have played them countless times in the past. In fact the relaxed nature gives some of the tracks a nice, jazzy laid-back feel.
The 1980 album "Suonare Suonare" is not rated as highly by fans as the early albums but I like it, even if it is more commercial sounding, and the rather laid-back renderings here of 'Suonare Suonare' and 'Maestro Della Voce' are real foot-tappers, with the silver-haired Mussida grooving on the guitar.
Di Cioccio's drumming is impressive and he also does an excellent job fronting the group, announcing the songs and musicians, and singing with much gusto when he temporarily gives up the drums to Monteresi. He belts out the songs, scats, gesticulates and prances with much energy, his drumsticks tucked into his belt in front and behind.
If you are already a fan of PFM then I strongly doubt this DVD will disappoint you. And if you're new to PFM and enjoy symphonic Progressive Rock and live music, this should impress you. OK the guys are getting on in years but, believe me, they play a mean live set and the musicianship is evident.¿
As far as videos of Progressive Rock concerts go, this must rank amongst the best, and I find it difficult to fault it. Purists might complain that the Anglicised versions of some of the early songs are performed, but they work well on stage in my opinion. And the group mixes the two languages anyway on a couple of the tracks, so both camps should be pleased. Perhaps the lead vocals are not quite what they used to be, perhaps a flute would have been nice (but Premoli and Fabbri do a good job with the keyboards and violin in its place). But, to my mind, these are all quibbles. Watching and listening to this makes me want to jump for joy, so five stars it is. Highly recommended.

So, you say you want to kick back and watch an incredible symphonic concert without all the ridiculous and nasty visual effects so many are infected with these days? Well look no further my friends.
To be short and sweet, this is one of the most fabulous live prog experiences you are going to find anywhere. Incredibly beautiful Italian symphonic prog rock delivered with perfect sound and video, virtuoso performances, and lots of it. PFM seem to defy the logic that the old prog giants can't get it right anymore. Based on this DVD and on the recent Stati CD, it is clear that PFM are like fine wine, getting better with age. From their classic songs and passionate performances it seems they have taken only wisdom and grace from their advancing age. Unlike some of their peers they seem to avoid the trap of trying to be all things to all people, or trying to please the record company by being trendy again to gain sales.
Instead you get a simple and unbelievably good presentation of fine music that anyone will fall in love with. Beautiful expressive acoustic and electric guitar, stunning e-violin, nice piano, solid bass and drums, and warm vocals. Most of the vocals are in Italian thankfully, but they do a few numbers in English as well.
An essential view for any lover of symphonic progressive rock. I just can't imagine any fans of the genre not digging this DVD, it's that good.

My introduction to this band was a live album back in the '70's. I lost track of them in the '80's but was really thrilled when I found a live in 2002 CD back in 2003. Didn't even occur to me to see if there was a DVD, which a got my hands, eyes, and ears on, until recently. This is both a treat for those already acquainted with the band as well as a great introduction for those who aren't. One of the best prog band from the '70's making a comeback in the '00's you can get.
Franz Di Cioccio, Franco Mussida, and Flavio Premoli are back on vocals/drums/percussions, guitars/vocals, and keyboards/vocals respectively. Patrick Djivas provides some great bass work. Lucio Fabbri shows his talents very well on violin, keyboard, guitar, and backing vocals. Piero Monteresi takes over drumming duties quite nicely when Di Cioccio takes center stage.
It's one thing to hear a great band play in person, but being able to actually see and revisit a performance you couldn't have attended, so well filmed and recorded is much better for me. Over two hours of concert music, they really played their butts off. Plus thirteen minutes of bonus (non-concert) footage backed by new music. I don't usually rate live shows as essential, but will have to make an exception in this case.
A very nice collection of old material, some new jams and improvisations, but what's up with Franz sticking all those drumsticks in his pants?
Brian S. Lindsey

Having the chance to watch to this concert video for the first time gave me some additional views about this release, because I reviewed the CD version of this concert ten years ago (!).
Three original members of the band (Franz Di Cioccio, Franco Mussida, Flavio Premoli) and a long time member (Patrick Djivas, playing with the band since 1974) appear together in this video which was recorded in Japan in May 2002. Also appearing with them are multi-instumentalist Lucio Fabbri (a member of the band during the eighties, and appearing with the band as guest in this video) and drummer Piero Monterisi.
This concert video is very good, with the band playing very well mostly songs from their best period (the seventies), plus three songs from their 'Suonare Suonare' album from 1980 (the title track of that album, 'Maestro Della Voce' and 'Si Puo Fare') and one song from their 'Serendipity' album from 2000 ('La Rivoluzione'). Most parts of the concert are really very good for my taste, playing the songs with a lot of energy and feeling, with all the members of the band playing very well, and with some visual interactions and smiles between the musicians, giving the impression that they were enjoying playing in the concert very much. Most of the lead vocals and interaction with the audience are done by Di Cioccio, (with Monterisi playing the drums while Di Cioccio sings at the front of the stage), giving a very 'dynamic' and enthusiastic performance, with him smiling, dancing and moving around the stage playing percussion and / or carrying the mic stand. Other lead vocals on other songs were done by Mussida and Premoli. But after 'Dolcissima Maria' is played (with Djivas playing a bit of soprano recorder in that song, remembering a bit former original member Mauro Pagani, who played flute and violin with the band until he left them in 1976), for me the concert begins to be less interesting (and a bit boring), with the band playing long versions of 'Maestro Della Voce' and 'Si Puo Fare', playing a lot of improvisations in these two Pop Rock songs from the eighties (their less interesting period for my taste). After this, the band plays 'Mr. 9 to 5', in a very good version, but after this, the band starts again to improvise a lot (from 'Scary Light' to 'Tokyo Violin Jam - Part Two') with only some parts of 'Alta Loma 5 Till 9' being interesting for my taste. Fortunately, the band recovers the 'inspiration' very well to play three very good songs as Encores ('Impressioni Di Settembre', 'E Festa ' Celebration' and 'La Luna Nuova - Four Holes In The Ground'), bringing the concert to a very good end.
It was very good to have this line-up of the band playing together for some years (from 1997 until 2005 when Premoli left the band again). As I mentioned before, all the members play very well. Fabbri really has a lot of work in some songs, with him playing violin, rhythm guitar and keyboards (all in a same song!) plus also singing some backing vocals. The band appears playing really as a team, doing very good arrangements to the songs (particularly by Fabbri and Premoli on keyboards), and giving space to each other, sounding like they rehearsed a lot and with a lot of experience as musicians. Di Cioccio really works very well as lead singer and communicator with the audience and with the other musicians.
The recording and mixing of the sound are very good, and the camera angles and editing of the video are also very good.
In general, this is a very good concert video.

Having already got the 2 disc CD version buying this DVD was a bit of a luxury. However I enjoyed the Piazza Del Campo DVD so much I thought I'd add this to my collection. Pardon me if I make some comparisons between the two performances.
So, my thoughts.
The sound is excellent (better than Piazza I think, particularly Franco's guitar being higher in the mix). The musicianship is just stunning. I love watching these guys play!
In general I think they feed off an audience's energy and the Japanese seemed a little restrained. So maybe it's just a little less energetic than the Piazza show.
Franz Di Coccio is more prominent in front of the drums in this collection, but actually does a really good job. None of the slightly embarassing audience participation stuff that mars the Piazza show.
The set selection is great. A mix of material from their back catalogue, including "Chocolate Kings" and "Jet Lag"
If I remember rightly I gave Piazza Del Campo 4 stars and balancing the pros v cons of each I have to give this slightly higher because of the audiovisual quality plus the strength and length of the set.
Round it up to 5/5 stars

I just received this dvd and just watched and all I can say is WOW! These guys are not human, they are angels in disguise! This is how all live concerts should be like. The songs are all excellent, most of them from the 70s era (the best). The playing is awesome and the renditions are accurate and the complexity of the arrangements is performed with mind-blowing accuracy. Too bad the flute is absent but the presence of the violin makes up for it. If you like early King Crimson, Jethro Tull, Yes and Gentle Giant then BUY IT NOW!!

The best music dvd I´ve ever seen! Great sound and picture quality. Great production/editing/camera work. Great music - a fine selection of old PFM masterpieces mixed with a few less known songs which works fine in this context + a few solo/jam numbers. Impressive musicianship/artistry! And it lasts for more than two hours!
I can´t see how a music dvd could get any better than this!

Los 100 Mejores Álbumes del Rock Argentino según Rolling Stone

Quizás hay que aclararlo de entrada: la siguiente lista no está armada por nosotros, y la idea de presentarla aquí no es porque se propone como una demostración objetiva de cuales obras tenemos o no que tener en cuenta, ya que en ella faltan (y desde mi perspectiva, también sobran) muchas obras indispensables del rock argento, aunque quizás no tan masificadas. Pero sí tenemos algunos discos indispensables del rock argentino que nadie interesado en la materia debería dejar de tener en cuenta. Y ojo que en el blog cabezón no tratamos de crear un ranking de los "mejores" ni los más "exitosos" ya que nos importa un carajo el éxito y lo "mejor" es solamente subjetivo, pero sobretodo nos espanta el concepto de tratar de imponer una opinión, un solo punto de vista y un sola manera de ver las cosas. Todo comenzó allá por mediados de los años 60, cuando Litto Nebbia y Tanguito escribieron la primera canción, Moris grabó el primer disco, Almendra fue el primer

Caligula's Horse - Charcoal Grace (2024)

Y cerramos otra semana a pura música en el blog cabezón con otro de los mejores discos que saldrán este año, una banda que desde hace rato estoy tentado a traer, que están dentro del mismo umbral que bandas como Pain Of Salvation, Leprous, Tesseract y Haken, algo que viene del metal progresivo pero verdaderamente aquí la intensidad solo llega a un heavy prog, eso sí, con muchísimas emociones y una carga melódica muy importante, que busca fusionar ideas no convencionales dentro del metal. Este último trabajo, su sexto trabajo de estudio, no solamente es su mejor trabajo hasta el momento sino que además es algo nuevo y fresco, muy amable y fácil de escuchar pero también algo bastante profundo donde la emoción supera al virtuosismo, presentando pasajes delicados y mucha elegancia que trata sobre las experiencias vividas por todos nosotros durante estos tiempos difíciles, que aborda lo sombrío de la pérdida, la alienación y la angustia, habla de la catarsis personal y social, en fin, t

Sleepytime Gorilla Museum - Of The Last Human Being (2024)

Desde hace años tenía la intención de publicar en el blog cabeza algún disco de ellos, luego se disolvieron por algún tiempo y el deseo de presentarlos en sociedad fue olvidado, o casi. Pero ahora regresan en modo resurrección, con tremendo disco (este será uno de los mejores que verá la luz en este actual 2024). Y entonces aprovecho para presentar en sociedad las bestias del RIO (o sea lo que sea ese estilo indescriptible que estos tipos practicaron desde siempre), que siguen con el estilo de siempre, donde la música puede ser muy pesada a veces pero también muy atmosférica y tiene elementos de música clásica, con muchas capas diferentes de todo tipo de instrumentos, también clásicos como violín, trompeta, glockenspiel y piano, lo que da como resultado una simbiosis entre Univers Zero y Sepultura, Isildurs Bane y King Crimson, John Zorn y Henry Cow, mezclando intrumentos y voces femeninas y masculinas, complejo pero al mismo tiempo melodioso, denso pero con elementos de sensibilid

Mauricio Ibáñez - Shades of Light & Darkness (2016)

Vamos con otro disco del guitarrista chileno Mauricio Ibáñez, que ya habíamos presentado en el blog cabeza, mayormente instrumental, atmosférico, plagado de climas y de buen gusto, "Shades of Light & Darkness" es un álbum que muestra diferentes géneros musicales y estados de ánimo. Se relaciona con diferentes aspectos de la vida humana, como la sensación de asombro, crecer, lidiar con una relación problemática, el éxito y el fracaso, luchar por nuestros propios sueños y más. Cada una de las canciones habita un mundo sonoro único, algunas canciones tienen un tono más claro y otras más oscuras, de ahí el título, con temas muy agradables, melancólicos, soñadoros, algunos más oscuros y tensos, donde priman las melodías cristalinas y los aires ensoñadores. Un lindo trabajo que les entrego en el día del trabajador, regalito del blog cabezón!.

OVRFWRD - There Are No Ordinary Moments (2024)

Si vamos a presentar los mejores discos de este 2024 no podemos dejar afuera al último trabajo de una de las mejores bandas instrumentales de la actualidad. Hay demasiados aspectos destacados en este álbum, el quinto de una de las pocas bandas que pueden hacer un disco largo e instrumental que no decaiga ni aburra ni por un segundo, con 10 temas y 68 minutos donde se funde el jazz, el space rock, el sinfonismo, el heavy prog, todo aderezado con pizcas de psicodelia, bastante clima y muchos matices diferentes, y es maravilloso ver como logran crear diferentes estados de ánimo, atmósferas, sonidos, en una amalgama muy interesante, en algo que se podría definir como la mezcla de King Crimson y Rush, y se hace obvio que han estado tocando juntos durante muchos años, por lo que su comprensión musical e incluso emocional se expresa maravillosamente en canciones como las que están plasmadas en este trabajo. Otro ejemplo de que hay muchísima música increíble surgiendo cada hora, las 24 hor

La Mesa Beatle: Iba acabándose el vino

Buenos días desde La Barra Beatles. Hoy reunidos para recordar una hermosa canción, de las más lindas del cancionero de nuestro rock: “Iba acabándose el vino”, de Charly García. Está en un gran disco llamado “Música del Alma”, un álbum altamente recomendable para amantes de la música acústica. Para introducirnos en el tema voy a traer a un amigo que se nos fue hace varios años, Hernie, conocido en la barra brava de Ferro como “El eléctrico”. Probablemente este pibe sea el mayor fanático de García que conocí. Solía relatar las frases de Charly de un modo tan sentimental que hasta el propio autor se hubiera quedado oyendo a esa voz que venía desde tan adentro, casi desde el significado mismo de la canción. Se notaba que la había recorrido, conocía bien esos vericuetos que están detrás de las palabras, esas notas que la melodía no canta y que, ni bien empieza el tema, la imaginación le hace un coro en silencio que atraviesa todos los compases, los adorna y queda dando vueltas por los parl

Humillación

Jorge Alemán afirma en esta nota (tan actual aunque haya sido escrita hace siglos: el 5 de octubre de 2023) que la pesadilla del avance de la ultraderecha argentina, experta en crueles humillaciones, comenzó hace tiempo y parece que las razones argumentadas que se presentan no alcanzan para despertar de este mundo distópico. Por Jorge Alemán "La historia es una pesadilla de la que estamos intentando  despertar". James Joyce Además del lógico temor frente a que las ultraderechas se queden con el gobierno, estamos asistiendo a uno de los espectáculos más humillantes de la historia argentina. La pesadilla ha comenzado hace tiempo y no parece que las razones argumentadas que se presentan sirvan para despertar de este mundo distópico.   Un clan experto en humillaciones crueles, con matices delirantes que apuntan con una ametralladora de estupideces que son pronunciadas con fruición y goce, se presenta para ocupar las más altas responsabilidades de la Nación. Es el punto

Cuando la Quieren Enterrar, la Memoria se Planta

El pueblo armado con pañuelos blancos aplastó el intento de impunidad . Alrededor de medio millón de personas se manifestaron en la Plaza de Mayo para rechazar categóricamente el 2x1 de la Corte a los genocidas. No fue la única, hubo al menos veinte plazas más en todo el país, todas repletas, además de manifestaciones en el exterior. Una multitud con pañuelos blancos en la cabeza pudo más que todo el mecanismo político-judicial-eclesiastico-mediático, forzando al Congreso a votar una ley para excluir la aplicación del "2x1" en las causas de lesa humanidad. Tocaron una fibra muy profunda en la historia Argentina, que traspasa generaciones. No queremos genocidas en la calle: es tan simple como eso. Tenemos que tolerar las prisiones domiciliarias a genocidas, que se mueran sin ser condenados o que sean excarcelados gracias a los jueces blancos. Cuesta muchísimo armar las causas, años. Muchos están prófugos, muchos no pudieron condenarse por falta de pruebas y otros porque tard

Kosmovoid - Space Demon (2021)

Todo un viaje. Seguimos con la saga de buenos discos brasileros, y presentamos el tercer álbum del power trío brasileño Kosmovoid, haciendo una mezcla de krautrock, industrial, psicodelia, ambient, post-rock y space-rock, una mezcla de estilos que no hemos escuchado en otras bandas brasileras, desplegada por una banda que tiene como principales influencias a bandas como Ash Ra Temple, Dead Can Dance, Popol Vuh, Kraftwerk, Tangerine Dream y Goblin entre muchas otras. Aquí los sonidos electrónicos forman parte del espíritu de las canciones, que deambulan de manera instrumental sobre un colchón de ritmos casi tribales, creando un trance ritual generada por una buena armonía entre cada instrumento, buscando siempre no caer en lugares comunes aunque estén claras las referencias y las influencias de su música. Once temas instrumentales envolventes y reconfortantes forman este buen disco, que toma el Krautrock y lo trae al día de hoy, mezclándolo también con otros estilos para crear algo
