1075.0. "EMF" by SUBURB::COMMIT (Commit Group) Mon Oct 12 1992 16:59

    EMF release their second album 'STIGMA'  The rock stuff from this album
    is more rock and the techno stuff is more techno.
    
    I have all their stuff including T-shirts, videos and have seen them
    live eleven times.  
    
    I prefer the new stuff because it seems to have more of a direction
    than the older stuff.
    
    I hope I'm not the only MEFS fan in Dec, after all if the CARTER notes
    can get over 100 repiles than I'm sure the MEFS can get something
    around that number.

    I saw them live at Reading and was veryimpressed.  I have all their EPS and
    the first album but I don't have all their t-shirts.  
    
    I think there best song was 'Getting Through' of the unexplained EP.  
    
    I agree that the rock stuff is more rock and the techno stuff is more
    techno, we'll that is the impression I get from the They're here EP.
    
    Looking forward to getting the new album.

    good.

    RE 1075.7
    
    I think PEKING::RANWELLJ is trying to be funny there, but  what do you
    expect with someone with "Smoke me a Kipper..." as a personel name.

1075.12clames to shame...RDGENG::WHITEVWed Oct 14 1992 16:488
    Carol Webb, my manager and chief librarian at the EIC at Death park is
    the cousin of Derry. She says it's her clame to shame. She also says
    he's tone deaf. There's a quote from him in NME saying they don't have
    girlfriends. This, she says, is a lie, her name is Kirsty.
    
    Well, I laughed.

1075.13MUSIC THAT EXISTS SIMPLY FOR ITS OWN SAKESUBURB::WAITEGWE HATE WEST HAMWed Oct 14 1992 16:5521
    **STIGMA**
    
    The album opens up with the latest single 'They're here', which sets
    the start up nicely.  The song roars in and the album then doesn't let
    up until the closing track 'The light that burns twice as
    bright...burns half as long.
    
    Along the way, they stretch the basic formula of dance beat, samples and
    guitars. 
    
    The track Arizona is a typical blend of rock music with pop spirit.
    
    Lyrically it's another good album and it seems to me that the music was
    made to blend in with him.  
    
    This is another good album which overall is as good, if not better than
    Sherbert dip.
