Best of Epsom Mad Funkers

Details: Amazon.ca As Epsom Mad Funkers shows, EMF peaked too high, too soon. "Unbelievable" became so ubiquitous, so rapidly, with its Andrew Dice Clay sample and sneering schoolboy vocals courtesy of backwards baseball-capped singer James Atkin, plus songwriter Ian Dench's hard-edged guitar, that it soon became the most annoying refrain of 1990. EMF exploded onto the "baggy" UK music scene in the wake of Madchester after a handful of gigs in their native Forest Of Dean and epitomised the rock/dance crossover sound. Both "I Believe" and "Children" were almost indentikit versions of their main hit but no one cared--EMF had such a bare-assed cheek. Critics were in disagreement as to what the initials stood for. Certainly not Parlophone's Every Mother's Favourite though. Although 1991's "Schubert's Dip" sold a million and legendarily endowed member, bassist Zac Foley hung out with Perry Farrell, the band's career was long over by the time of 1995's lamentable joke single, "I'm a Believer". This album includes a bonus remix disc, featuring a killer Bambaattaa version of "Unbelievable", among others. -- Jerry Thackray
