  • Perfect Circle: the Story of REM Free
    FREE PERFECT CIRCLE: THE STORY OF REM PDF Tony Fletcher | 480 pages | 10 May 2013 | OMNIBUS PRESS | 9781780386980 | English | London, United Kingdom Perfect Circle (song) - Wikipedia And Tony Fletcher is the man to tell the tale. The early days of the formation of the band in their hometown of Athens, Georgia and their first Perfect Circle: The Story of REM at making music together are covered in detail with references from various friends who saw them through their formative days. They were heavily bolstered by a healthy local music scene which was open to embracing the new wave of sounds together with a healthy student population and college radio network which was prepared to air their music. Of course their dues were paid and their act was honed by playing live and most of the period was spent on the road. Supported by a sympathetic record label in IRS, they were lucky enough to have artistic license even from their early days and it was only when they veered from their Athens comfort zone and relocated to London to record their third album, Fables Of The Reconstructionthat they hit their first stumbling block. It was the break from IRS not an easy decision to make and their deal with Warner Brothers which elevated REM into the big time and one that could be viewed as the end of one era and the start of a new one — older fans maybe being a little more Perfect Circle: The Story of REM about the IRS albums and output whilst the early Warner recordings gained the mass Perfect Circle: The Story of REM and critical acclaim yet still allowed REM to remain a band who worked under their own terms and agenda.
