· ∙ [ The Idea ] ∙ ·
FM is a one-year old group of musicians dedicated to the task of providing
the scene quality musical productions. We try to be more than just your
everyday music group, by working on many of our productions in cooperation
with each other. Since our creation in early February 1995, we have been
working hard to explore both our artistic talents, and to break new ground
in the area of digitally tracked music.

· ∙ [ The Story so Far ] ∙ ·
FM was formed in February 1995 by Necros and Mellow-D after chatting on
the phone one day and realizing that starting a good scene music group would
be both fun and productive for the both of us. I called up Basehead and he
seemed to be quite pleased with the idea and offered his services. And thus
with a solitary 'woop' FM was begun. Originally we wanted to call the group
'o' per Mellow-D's request, but soon we invited Big Jim to join and he
suggested 'FM' as a name. Luckily by this time we had acquired the perfect
number of musicians, and the name stuck.
I quickly released "Realization II" under the FM label, and things began to
move along nicely. After a few more releases by members, Mellow-D called and
said he had invited Purple Motion to join. At that time I became aware of
just how fortuitous it was that both 'four' and 'five' started with the letter
'F'. So thus we became Five Musicians.
Things now were looking great, and Mellow-D released a musicdisk compilation of
older tunes he had written called 'Kaktoos'. Weeks passed and the FM e-mail
address was activated at fm@pot.hole.fi (Mellow-D's computer). Unfortunately,
we realized that Purple Motion was proving to be both unreachable and
unproductive, so we politely dismissed him from the group.
Thus we were once again Four Musicians. After languishing in this deplorable
state for a few more weeks, we came upon a brilliant young musician from OTM
named Stalker. Listening to his stuff, we realized that we had to snatch up
this fine young fellow before he fell prey to the sinister lurkings of
some european demo group. He accepted our invitation, and there was once again
happiness and joy in the land of the music scene.
Then in the midst of the very poor The Party 1995, we acquired yet another
brilliant shooting star. Having made the Hit Song of TP5, Spaceman, Vic
joined FM in a glorious setting of 3000 computer nerds. Stalker left us
to pursue other musical lines somewhat after, so we are back down to four
active members once again.
This bring us to the current day, when FM has finally been recognized as
a force to be reckoned with. Our greetings to all other music groups across
the world; we invite you to join us in bringing melodic bliss to people
worldwide.

We are currently looking for an FTP site we could use to release stuff.
New uploads can also be found on ftp.cdrom.com, in the /demos/music/incoming
directory.
Tunes by Necros, Mellow-D and Basehead are mirrored also at:
(ftp) axs.net : /pub/demos/songs/necros
/pub/demos/songs/mellow-d
/pub/demos/songs/basehead
(this site is currently under reconstruction due to a HD crash)
We have distribution sites, but their numbers are too many to list here.
Usually most quality boards will carry our releases. Simply check their
list of affils to see if they are an 'FM Distribution Site'.
