SOME WRITING ON THE BAND:
I first heard Unbelievable
on the way back from a football match at Stockport. It
is one of those singles that grabs your attention right
way - and you just know it's a top tune.
It's still one of my karaoke favourites
to this day.
EMF were from the Forest of Dean and hit
the ground running. Unbelievable was a massive hit - not
just in the UK but around the world and they completely
outshone Adamski with their live act when they were supporting
him on tour.
Are you one of those folk that think EMF
were one hits wonders? Well, if you are let me tell you
you're wrong. Wrong I tell you!
The follow up single was called I Believe
and it carried on where Unbelievable left off. It is high
tempo, indie pop thrash of the finest kind. The third
single did not disappoint either - it was called Children
and I heard it last night at The Social. The intro is
ace - swirling sirens before breaking out into a stomping
stampede of a single.
All three tracks came from the album Schubert
Dip, which was also a big hit both in the UK and in the
US. If you're currently lacking a get up and go album
for a Friday night you should consider getting a copy
of Schubert Dip!
EMF's position at the top of the charts
didn't last long. There second album was called Stigma
but it didn't do much. Although I do remember a Sasha
remix of one of their later tracks (It's You??) which
is a growing monster of a tune with an ace piano line.
They weren't the most credible of bands
from this era. So what. They made some cracking tunes!!
