Free Music Review: A band that stands toe to toe with the best of Canadian talent!
Hit: 5 Stars

The Five Man Electrical Band...what musical memories they stir.Their songs were a staple of Canadian radio in the early seventies with their catchy song hooks and smooth vocal accompaniments.They were as good as any group then extant and Canadian talent was seemingly overflowing at this point.With the subsiding of the British Invasion's immense shadow and a push by the Canadian Government for more Canadian content(remember the slogan"Keep it Canadian"?) groups in Canada seemed to spring up by the bushel.One of them was the FMEB but like so many of the others they were no overnight successes.
This group was originally the Staccatos from Ottawa who had had success with the song "Half Past Midnight" and had been a hard working club and bar band.Eventually the reformed group became the FMEB in the late 60s,now led by the prolific tune smith/guitarist Les Emmerson,who was to write most of the bands best material."Signs" became the groups real break through hit in Canada and the States followed by "Absolutely Right".Even if these were the only hits the group ever had they would always have a prominent place in Canadian musical history.But between and after these hits were songs(now unfortunately long forgotten)like "Hello Melinda,Goodbye","Moonshine","Juliana" and(one of my faves and a great toe tapper)"Money Back Guarantee".The last songs to really chart were "I'm a Stranger Here" and "Werewolf".The groups unfortunate luck with management,labels and their own self interests led to the groups break up in the mid 70s.
So unfortunate for us that they left the scene but it is not an uncommon thing in the musical biz in any country.However this CD showcases the FMEB at their very best and it contains some nice liner notes which will give you a better perspective on their clouded history.On top of this it contains both the single and LP versions of "Signs" and "I'm a Stranger Here";a very nice touch if I do say so.If you were listening to the radio at all during the early 70s(especially in Canada) you are bound to recognize many of these songs,many succeeding in Canada but sadly not elsewhere.Songs like "Money Back Guarantee" and "Julianna" are going to have you saying either "Darn,I haven't heard THAT in a long time" or"Gee,I didn't know THEY played that!".Don't let these great songs by a greatly under appreciated Canadian band slip through your fingers.All the hits are here and more and I guarantee this is one CD you will be playing(to quote the DC5)over and over again.
