THERE IS no getting away from the fact that FM are the UK’s most enduring and, above all else, best loved melodic rock act. Held in sky high esteem by legions of fans and hailed as the doyens of the AOR scene, they have consistently delivered above and beyond the call of duty, impervious to fads and fashion. That they have hardly bothered our national charts is neither here nor there; they were a band of brothers whose only goal was to deliver quality and class. ‘Indiscreet’, the band’s debut album, originally released in 1986, was instantly hailed as a seminal classic. A work so carefully crafted and expertly executed that it was immediately identified as an equal of, if not even better than, the majority of US acts that had dominated the AOR scene. Containing gorgeously melodic songs and benefitting from precise arrangements, the effect was breathtaking to say the least. Of course, many of the accolades were attributed to Steve Overland’s wonderful vocal delivery. With a one-in-a-million rasp, his voice evokes classic British singers such as Paul Rodgers, James Dewar and Rod Stewart in addition to American soul masters like as Otis Redding and Marvin Gaye. Truly, one of the world’s greatest, yet unheralded, vocalists, with ‘Indiscreet’ being the perfect vehicle to drive home the message. SPECIAL 2CD EDITION: 24-bit remastering from original source tapes, 3,500 word essay about the making of the album, new interview with the band, enhanced artwork, new photos and 18 bonus tracks spread out over a 12 page full colour booklet.
