I just recently heard a few samples of this italian band Premiata Forneria Marconi more known as PFM. This band has actually been around as long as the more known dinasour bands. Anyone here who has got the albums and who can tell something about this band?

According to these samples they sound like a mix of early Genesis and even some Gentle Giant but with a lot more atmosphere than the latter.
