Another one of my tapes from a dusty box in the loft! Man, I loved these in the day, many a friday night spent dancing to Unbelievable down the Quayside in Exeter in my uni days  I'll pass more thoughts on the album when I have a listen, I know I love Children and was shocked by some of the swearing!  |

They are very representative of the early 1990s in terms of fashion and music. 'Lies' was another great tune from 'Shubert Dip.'

Was never really much of a fan of EMF. Unbelievable was such a staple of under 18's discos, that I got bored of them rather quickly. Some of their later on singles were OK. I liked It's Here and Perfect Day. The one they did with Reeves and Mortimer was truely horrible though!  |

Afro King, which I believe was their last single to chart was quite good!
I think one of the band committed suicide in the early 2000s.

I think one of the band committed suicide in the early 2000s. The bass guitarist I think! What did EMF actually stand for? There were so many different variations on the initials when I was a teen, that I am unsure which was the correct one! |

Ecstacy Mother f**kers wasn't it? One of Mel's friends was dating the keyboard player I think before they were famous, once Unbelievable was a hit, I think she was dumped!

See, I heard the Ecstacy Mother f**kers one, and also Evil Mother f**kers, and Epsom Mad Funkers - which confused me as they weren't from Epsom - I thought they were from deepest darkest Gloucestershire???

I remember this album, I thought it was ok at the time. I remember the samples they used from War Of The Worlds, plus the controversial sample of Mark Chapman talking on Lies and the sound of Derry smashing a wall on I Believe. Best of all was the untitled track at the end where they were spelling out what EMF stood for.

That was it, it was a hidden track, I'll be listening to this over the next couple of days!

But I Believe was a worse version of Unbelievable for me.
Another one hit wonder in the US along with Chumbawamba.
