FM-No Electricity Required (1993)

FM are one of the great melodic rock bands that emerged in the second half of the eighties, publishing some of the best albums of the genre such as "Tough it Out" in 1989 or "Takin 'It to The Streets" in the year 1991.
Since their second album, the band had focused their music on the North American market with albums full of hits, similar to groups like Bon Jovi, demonstrated in songs like the super hit "Bad Luck".
A critical part of the band's success is found in the collaboration of American hitmaker Desmond Child.
In these first discs the subjects of great impact are happening like "Don´t Stop", "Someday", "Everytime I Think of You", "Only the Strong", "Dangerous Ground" or the magnificent cover of the enormous Marvin Gaye "I Heard It Through The Grapevine", all of them very well structured and with some great very catchy choruses.
In these early years the charisma of its singer Steve Overland was also relaunched, becoming an icon of the genre and a fundamental piece of the band.
In 1993 the direct "No Electricity Required" was published, a review of acoustic versions of their first three albums, which was very well received by the press and fans of the AOR genre.
