PFM will be performing here in Toronto at the Phoenix concert theatre.

Anyone have an idea of what they sound like these days?

I love their early stuff, but I thought their stuff around 79 or 80 was dubious.

Saw 'em in London a couple of years ago, and they were stunning. Apart from one cruddy '80-ish no.(Suonare Suonare), it was wall-to-wall classics the whole evening. Miss at your peril.

Flavio Premoli was touring with a 'tron in 2002.

Looks like he is currently using a Yamaha sampler.

Well, when I offered the use of #1145 two years ago in London, it was politely declined. They hired in a Hammond and a MiniMoog, with a digital piano and generic keyboard for strings etc.

PFM will be performing at the NEARfest Friday night preshow in early July with Protokaw. I will be there with three Trons (one of them , the famous "formicatron," is being provided by our own Jimmy Moore) and an assortment of tape frames for Saturday's opening act, Wobbler. If they want to stage one, I would be happy to accommodate them.

According to a recent email exchange with Virginia Scott of Beggar's Opera: "The tron I used on Waters of Change (Mk2) was bought by PFM back in 1971. I did contact them a few years ago to find out if they still had it...sadly it was disposed of." No idea of an operational definition of "disposed of" (trashed? sold? converted to coffee/end tables?)

So, who has their Mark II now? Or, is it just in mothballs or permanently residing in one of their home studios somewhere?
