One of the fundamental characteristics of progressive rock is hardly remembered: by forsaking catchy refrains, radio-ready lengths and danceable rhythms, the generation that, in the 1970s, saw the future of rock in a sort of ‘level up’ to ‘classical’ music, did away with the ‘cult of personality’ that had formed the basis for the disruptive success of youth music, and replaced it with a purely musical ambition, devoid of dogma.
For decades, Premiata Forneria Marconi, Italy’s foremost progressive rock band, let themselves be guided by the mesmeric power of sound, and by a sense of adventure and creative challenge. And thus it is just natural that they were destined for a close encounter with the 100 Cellos, an “instrumental creature” of unprecedented proportions just as impossible to pigeonhole, and equally committed to surfing the creative waves of an ocean of sound.
