Customer Reviews:

Nice Collection of Lite AOR.......2006-06-27

FM's Long Time No See collection is an excellent introduction for anyone unfamiliar with the UK-based AOR/melodic rock act. The triple-disc digipack contains two of the band's early albums - Paraphernalia and Aphrodisiac, both of which have been digitally remastered and contain bonus tracks - and a bonus live disc called Live at the Astoria.

FM's style of melodic rock draws heavily on classic AOR bands like Journey, Toto, REO Speedwagon, and Foreigner. The band has a more laid-back, bluesy approach rather than using rock anthems and power ballads. Paraphernalia in particular is a very mellow album. Aphrodisiac rocks a bit more, but it never quite reaches the level of say a Bonfire or Gotthard.

FM may be a bit light for some tastes. I tend to prefer more aggressive hard rock and metal bands, but on occasion I find myself the mood for some lighter AOR fare, and FM fits the bill quite nicely.

Some good, some bad but worthwhile snapshot of FM.......2004-02-11

This pack contains 3 CDs - two studio CDs and a live performance from the early days of FM. Of the two studio CDs, Paraphernalia is pretty strong overall, with highlights such as Caught In The Innocence, the album shows Steve Overland's awesome voice and songwriting skills. I can't say the same for Aphrodisiac, which barring a couple of exceptions like Closer To Heaven, is pretty tedious and 90s-AOR-by-the-numbers.
