Description
Digitally remastered edition of the 1977 debut album by the Canadian Progressive Rock group FM. The band began life in 1976 with Cameron Hawkins (synthesizers, bass, vocals) and Nash the Slash (electric violin, mandolin, vocals) coming together as a duo, making an appearance on national TV in Canada in the summer of 1976. By March 1977, FM became a trio with the addition of Martin Dellar on drums. The Canadian Broadcasting Company offered to release the band's debut album, Black Noise on their own label later that year, but the record was only made available via mail order. The following year, Black Noise was given a wider release on the Visa label in the U.S. This Esoteric Recordings release is the first time Black Noise has been issued in Europe and has been newly remastered and includes an illustrated booklet and a new essay.

Tracklist
1. Phasors On Stun
2. One O'Clock Tomorrow
3. Hours
4. Journey
5. Dialing For Dharma
6. Slaughter In Robot Village
7. Aldebaran
8. Black Noise

From what I understand, the master tapes for this album were lost decades ago and all CD versions have been sourced from a needledrop. It would be nice if this was from a newly discovered tape, but as there is no mention of that, I fear the worst.

Yep. I believe this is the third CD reissue using the same vinyl master source.

Tragic if true, because this is some intense 70s Prog Rock-Canadian style.

How can we find out what the source is?
