Any PFM album from 1972 to 1974. Listen for the magic from Mauro Pagani.

[Toccata]

Thank you friend !

[gr8sho92]

You're most welcome. I haven't looked recently, but if you google wisely, you may be able to find some videos of 2 recent concerts that showcase this sort of thing from PFM. One is the 2002 Japan concert which features Lucio Fabbri and a more recent concert that had a reunion with Mauro Pagani in Piazza del Campo in Siena. The boys are a little weathered with age (ain't we all), but the music is phenomenal.

Hi friend, thanks, I like very much Premiata and the others Italians, what do you think about Banco Del Mutuo Soccorso ?

[gr8sho92]

Also gods. Apparently they've agreed to come to Nearfest next year so I may be attending my first prog festival. Non mi rompete is one of my favorites. pretty ballsy (pardon the pun) for the 1970s.

(Funny thing about Selling is that I was just listening to it in the car past few days. Really classic prog. Also being featured album on prog archives.)

For me, all of John Hackett's work on Voyage of the Acolyte, but especially Hands of the Priestess part 2.

1:34 minutes of musical genius.

A list of good musical flute in prog would not be complete without mentioning Harmonium's "Si on avait besoin d'une cinquieme saison". A look at the list of players shows that there are 2 flute players on that album:

- Pierre Daigneault / flute, piccolo, Soprano saxophone, clarinet
- Serge Fiori / guitar, flute, zither harp, bass drum, vocals

Very melodious!

[mossy]

very much so, marquer

[Toccata]

Really, Harmonium is celestial.

My two Fav:
Firth Of Fifth and Bouree

[Rick and Roll]

Little known fact - On "Reasons For Waiting", the great tull track from Stand Up, that's Martin Barre and not Ian Anderson on flute. Martin's actually been playing longer than Ian.

I don't like to say "my fav flute solo" etc. or rank things like that.

Gabriel's flute parts are few and far between, and not really that big a part of the music.

I will say that "Birth" is one of my favorite songs...but what starts it for me is the little harpsichord at the beginning of the song.

[Toccata]

Hi Rick, I didn't know was Martin Barre the flute player in this song!! Nice!!
Excellent musician Right, complete!!!!

Barry Hay on Big Tree, Blue Sea from the Moontan record comes to mind. Also check out Si Dira Di Me from Malibran's Oltre L'Ignoto.
