Chocolate Kings was their sixth album. The music is great - loads of hammond organ and tricksy time changes. The only problem is the lack of a stronger vocalist. Luckily for P.F.M. Prog Rock is probably the one genre where strong vocals are not a critical component to overall success.
Where do they all belong? Well worth investigating for prog fans.
