I knocked PFM as Genesis wannabes when I heard Photos of Ghosts, but their debut has its own magic. Still some galloping Nice-via-Knifeism, but its own raucous energy too, some real kneechopping synth beauty, and dozens of elegant surprises. This's a band possessed, pulled by unseen forces and pulling you along. Wildly strange and elegant and mysterious, complex without being showy. How prog outta be 4.5/5
