Fm Direct To Disc

2013, 1978's Direct-to-Disc was FM's first album to be made available in record stores. This album was also entitled HEAD ROOM when it went through a second pressing. DIRECT TO DISC was released on the Labyrinth label, and was distributed by Discwasher Group, same company that manufactured record cleaning kits. This truly was a direct to disc recording, so what you hear is a one-take, although according to the liner notes, they actually made a bunch of recordings, and simply picked the cream of the crop. DIRECT TO DISC is without a doubt their most progressive offering, without any commercial tendencies of their other albums. Here Cameron Hawkins' voice is much more low-key than usual. Martin Deller did a strange experiment using a brain wave generator attached to the lesser-known ARP 2500 synthesizer, on top of his usual drums and percussion, while Cameron Hawkins takes a more spacy approach than usual.
