In the summer of 1984, over a few drinks in a London pub, FM was formed.

Comprising the ex-Samson pair of bassist Merv Goldsworthy and drummer Pete Jupp, the formidable Overland brothers – vocalist/guitarist Steve and lead guitarist Chris; both formerly of Wildlife – plus the keyboard talents of Philip Manchester, better known as sci-fi nutcase Didge Digital, the band wrote six songs.

In December of that same year they secured a recording contract with the CBS/Portrait label.
