The Night Watch: Twilight (CD, 49:19); Lizard CD 5490072 import

	Bravo!! It was a pleasure getting to know this release. Like finding an old art 
gallery full well-crafted curios from exotic lands, I wondered back and forth through this 
CD finding new treasures each time through. Simone Rossetti's vocals are a blend of the 
Jet Lag/Choclate Kings period of PFM and Peter Gabriel's early solo efforts. The overall 
mood of the songs is PFM in the compositions and the storytelling lyrics. The guitars and 
programming by Francesco Zago are very, very Steve Hackett yet Steve Howe shines 
through as well in many places. Yeah, I heard that Asia thing too.
	Rosetti's angst-charged, chorused overdubs of his vocals are well done as well as 
his drop-out, hushed, theatrics for tension building and then an in-your-face echoed 
outburst. Cool stuff. I think back to that Echolyn punch. Giovanni Alessi on keys, 
Antonio Mauri on bass, and Diego Donadio on drums complete the delicately vital 
balance throughout.
	"A Game with Shifting Mirrors" throws down in a syncopated Yes battles King 
Crimson sans vocals. They fall back to deep mellow then come back big. Look out Fripp!
	Last cut, "Flowers of Innocence" is a When-the-World-became-the-World PFM 
piece lamenting . . . childhood's end? This is a must own if you like PFM -- well worth 
grabbing in its own strength. Again, bravo!
