PFM
There are at least three acts using the initials PFM:
1) Progressive Future Music, originally a duo of Mike Bolton & Jamie Saker, later Mike Bolton alone. English pioneers in the 'Intelligent' subgenre of Drum and Bass, closely associated with LTJ Bukem and MC Conrad. The album Producer 02 here is by Mike Bolton. They first came to the attention of many Drum and Bass enthusiasts with their popular atmospheric number "Danny's Song", a tribute to LTJ Bukem himself, which appeared on the 1996 Looking Good / Good Looking compilation "LTJ Bukem Presents : Logical Progression Level One".
2) Premiata Forneria Marconi,Premiata Forneria Marconi (PFM) (translation: Award-winning Marconi Bakery) is an italian progressive rock band. They were the first Italian group to have success abroad, entering both the British and American charts. Between 1973 and 1977 they released five albums with English lyrics. They also had several successful European and American tours, playing at the popular Reading Festival in England and on a very popular national television programme in the U.S.A.
PFM introduced new sounds, such as the synthesizer, to the Italian musical world. They were also among the first to combine symphonic classical and traditional Italian musical influences in a rock music context. Such innovations and their longevity have made them among the most important bands in the international progressive rock genre.
The original core members of PFM (Franco Mussida, Franz Di Cioccio, Flavio Premoli, and Giorgio Piazza) came together in the mid 1960’s while playing together as backup musicians for many different Italian pop, rock and folk singers such as Lucio Battisti, Mina, Adriano Celentano and Fabrizio De André. They appeared on many recordings for other artists during this period and quickly established themselves as top players on the Italian rock and pop scene. Mussida, Premoli, Piazza and Di Cioccio then formed the group “I Quelli” (English translation “Them”, or “Those Guys”) in 1968. I quelli released one album and some successful Italian singles.
3) A band from Melbourne Australia active in the late 1980s and 1990s also known as Practical Folk Music. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
