We all started writing new songs, trying to go towards the Italian rock way, which was identifiable by lyrics. Our new project was not easy to realize, because we had to become authors. Anyway we succeeded thanks to our experience with Fabrizio De Andrč and the advices of our new producer, Mr. Colombini. "Suonare Suonare", that is to say "Eight stories made of music and words to express ourselves, communicate, suffer, enjoy and play music" (as is it written on the LP's back cover) is a new, fresh and vital LP which contains poetic autobiographical stories from the band's members. In that occasion, Lucio Fabbri, who had already joined us during our tour with Fabrizio De Andrč joined us again.

Lucio, who was able to play many instruments and who had a solid musical experience seemed to be the right person to join PFM. Walter Calloni joined the band too. Walter, was a refined drummer who had to help Franz Di Cioccio during live performances in order to let him face his new front man role. Unfortunately, soon after "Suonare Suonare" success, Flavio Premoli decided to quit us: he was fed up of travelling and above all he wanted to start working on a personal project. He went on working in music business as advertising music producer and he did not perform live concerts with no other band. We decided to go on with "Suonare Suonare" experience.

The following LP was "Come ti va in riva alla cittą" and contained a different musical language, maybe less poetic than the previous LP. Lyrics told about sub-urban stories: they were about young people who cannot get used to social reality which wants everybody to be homogenous; lyrics told also about young people who want to be protagonist in their life, in a good or bad way. The LP atmosphere was very well represented by its cover. As always critics were different, even if we had a great success during the Italian tour. Di Cioccio's front man role was giving the band a lot of energy.

Di Cioccio's front man role was giving the band a lot of energy. At that time we decided to record our third official live LP, called " Performance". We wanted to fix in time the audience's enthusiast support. In 1987 after that experience, we decided to stop live performing. Everyone started to work on personal artistic and professional project. Anyway PFM officially never broke up.
