Premiata Forneria Marconi as it was on there Italian releases. I also saw them here in L.A. in the late seventies and I thought the were rather sketchey and a little out of sync and tune but still loved them as well as Le Orme ( Felona y Serona), those were the days of Manticore records and Tony Harrington here in L.A.

And PFM rocked the house! I saw them and was amazed. Chocolate Kings was quite good also, in my opinion. Trivia, does anyone out there know what PFM stands for? I do ... lol. TonyM400 #510

Does anyone remember "River of Life"
by PFM (Premiata Forneria Marconi)
from 1973's Photos of Ghosts LP
Pete Sinfield - English remix, production

What model of Mellotron was used?
How did they get it to sound like that?
(awesome!!)

It sounds to me like a string synth (type unknown) dubbed over the original
Mark II. I have to say, I vastly prefer the original Italian version to me -
just pure 'Tron! And the track's nearly a minute longer - several of the
remixed versions get intros chopped, etc.
