Italian Prog-Rockers PREMIATA FORNERIA MARCONI (PFM) Release Music Video for “Worlds Beyond”

Italian Rock legends PREMIATA FORNERIA MARCONI (PFM) have released a new music video for their single “Worlds Beyond”. The track is the second single off the band’s new studio album “I Dreamed of Electric Sheep” which was released on October 22nd, 2021 via Inside Out Music. Watch the video below.

Speaking about “Worlds Beyond”, the epic, orchestral open to their new LP, the band shares, “We wanted to start out with a song that has inside a lot of different music genres going on, but no lyrics. Why? Well, to give people the capacity to imagine everything, and not to tell them anything.”

PFM is a very eclectic and exuberant musical group with a distinctive style that impressively combines rock, progressive, and classical music into one mesmerizing sonic entity. Formed in 1971, the band quickly gained a prominent place on the international scene by making it to the Billboard charts (for 1973’s “Photos Of Ghosts”), and winning a Gold record in Japan while constantly ruling the charts in their home country until today. PFM were honored as #50 in the “UK Classic Rock Hall of Fame” of the 100 most important artists in the world. In 2017, PFM released the album “Emotional Tattoos”, their first with Inside Out Music.

Band-leader Franz Di Cioccio previously said about the album: “The whole process of creating a new piece of work is the result of a constant sharing of ideas and creativity. On this new album, Patrick and I act as the rhythm section, which works well because we really get along perfectly. One common thread between us is our great passion for Sci-Fi movies. In the past, we watched many of them together, one being the classic Blade Runner. One question in that movie really hit us: “Do androids dream of electric sheep?” It’s something that really made us think. The world has been changing around us; computers are taking over every aspect of our lives. Covid-19 did a lot to accelerate this process. With people staying and working from home and kids taking virtual classes, not being able to go to school, it seems like everyone is rapidly becoming an android. Each one of us was kind of locked in himself and could not interact with others. The leading principle was avoiding social contact. This reminded us of one of Blade Runner’s main scenes when an android was asked about his mother. Obviously, being a machine, it could not have such a memory or personal experience on who its family was and where it came from.

“From this we developed the concept for this new album. We believe in the power of people to use their imaginations. This is what really makes the difference between human beings and androids. Being able to dream affects your life, your creativity, your thoughts”.
