Description from FdM discography:
FdM 16 is FdM's 2011 Annual - our first, hopefully not our last, something we'd like to think will appeal to anyone who woke up on a Christmas morning to their copy of Roy of the Rovers, Tiger, Lion, Valiant, Victor, Bunty (whoops, what a give away)...
2x7" singles, equals four sides, four bands, four great tracks, featuring:
Stay - 'Tomorrow Never Knows' (The Beatles)
Permanent Clear Light - 'Wherewithal' (Clifford T Ward)
Hi-Fiction Science - 'Fleance' (Third Ear Band)
Zeuk - 'Vision' (Peter Hammill)
- strange bedfellows, or inspired selection? Actually, they work together rather bloody well - a truly eclectic mix, 2+2=5, or something like that. Anyway, all four are crackers (geddit?), we've been looking for an excuse to release them - and there's no better excuse than Christmas.
FdM'ers will know Stay from their brilliant 3 track ep in 2008 (sold out, of course, even the videos have notched up about 40,000 views on youtube!) - having recently played The Cavern, they decided to take on a personal Beatles favourite and do that Spanish neo-psych/Oasis thing that we love; Permanent Clear Light, who you'll remember from their stand-out Who cover on 'A Phase We're Going Through', prove that classic UK pop + a strong Finnish accent go together like a stick of black pudding and a dollop of HP Fruity sauce - tasty. Hi-Fiction Science and Zeuk are new to FdM but they have each contributed some stunning and memorable - Hi-Fiction Science's version of the much-underated Third Ear Band track 'Fleance' builds from beautiful, delicate female vocals to a sustained rhythmic attack - a 6 minute epic, if ever there was one (there was, and this was it); Zeuk's 'Vision' has an intense fragility (no, i don't know what i'm talking about, thanks for pointing that out, but wait until you hear it) that more than does justice to Peter Hammill's original, with a haunting violin adding to the atmosphere.
It could all add up to the best thing we've done so far.
