Free Music Notes for Chocolate Kings
Free Music Review: Italian mid 70's prog
Hit: 5 Stars
When I first heard Chocolate Kings, I thought Peter Gabriel had joined Gentle Giant! With more listens, now I think Peter Gabriel had joined Seals and Crofts!
Well, the friendly "blooming with life" atmosphere Seals and Crofts were doing in the mid 70's resembles the music of Chocolate Kings. Of course, the difference is that Premiata Forneria Marconi is a progressive rock band from Italy, not to mention a very respectable one by this point in their career.
I'm just surprised how mellow and updated the production is compared to Per un Amico and Storia di un Minuto. The quality of the songwriting is really high on Chocolate Kings, but MUCH different musically from what you're probably thinking, that is, if you heard this album immediately after the other Premiata Forneria Marconi albums from the early 70's. Chocolate Kings sounds like a completely different band.
This is just a very likeable, pleasant and well, flat out BEAUTIFUL, prog rock album from Italy. Despite the Peter Gabriel like vocals, this is quite the brilliant album. Funny how I never noticed the connection to Genesis before from other PFM albums, and now, seemingly out of nowhere, they resemble Genesis a LOT.
Despite that, I absolutely love the way the vocal melodies flow beautifully into other themes, and that makes Chocolate Kings a fantastic album.
