Per un Amico ("For a Friend") is the second studio album from the Italian progressive rock band Premiata Forneria Marconi. Prog lovers tend to praise their first two albums very highly (both typically making the top30 best prog albums) - for me, there is a considerable increase in quality going from the first to the second. Their style is symphonic rock, influenced by the likes of Yes, Genesis and King Crimson, with great virtuosic artistry of all members, and lyrics sung in Italian to create a very different feeling from those bands. This is definitely a prog masterpiece, with all five songs of consistent high quality.
