EMF (aka Epsom Mad Funkers) - Schubert Dip CD [UK IMPORT]

Taking their name from David Quantick's description of New Order fans as "Epsom Mad Funkers," EMF formed in late 1989 in Cinderford. EMF featured several musicians who cut their teeth participating in the scene that emerged in the Forest of Dean region of Gloucestershire, including singer James Atkin, keyboardist Derry Brownson, drummer Marc Decloedt, guitarist Zac Foley, guitarist Ian Dench and DJ Milf. Cultivating a cacophonic blend of British indie pop, hip-hop, and dance-rock, EMF debuted in 1990 with "Unbelievable," an infectious single constructed around unexpected samples of controversial comedian Andrew "Dice" Clay. "Unbelievable" became a runaway hit, climbing into the Top Ten around the world and even reaching number one in America, a rare feat for a British band. Schubert Dip, EMF's full-length debut, also featured "Lies," a single that caused some controversy due to a sample of John Lennon's assassin Mark David Chapman; Yoko Ono, Lennon's widow, won an injunction against the band, leading to alterations of the track in subsequent pressings.
