half of a double CD with 'Tall Tales'- free with FdM members club orders for Rob Gould's remake of the classic Genesis album 'Nursery Cryme'; we're cramming around 2 1/2 hours of music in total onto the two CDs, so literally hours of fun.

Just like 'Tall Tales', 'Short Stories' has a deep and meaningful theme that underpins all the tracks on it - they're all under 7 minutes long (there's not much you can teach me me about concept albums).

Included on it is 'Space Folds Upon Itself' by Quarkspace - a band who albums I discovered about 25 years ago and I never dreamed would make an appearance on an FdM release!

The full list of artists contributing to the CD:

Bellavista
The Flower Machine
Alain Pire Experience
Dim Electrics
Bhopal's Flowers
Nick Haeffner
The Vapour Trails
Brave New World
Ancient Circle
Big Hero
Church Of Hed
Lords Of Form
Quantum Surf Rocket Garage Dolls
The Telephones
Quarkspace
Rob Gould
Dark Horse
Blue Giant Zeta Puppies
