Surveillance (FM album)

Surveillance is the third album by FM, a progressive rock group from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, released on Passport Records in summer 1979, the first to be "widely issued."

The group's first cover version appears on this album: "Shapes of Things", originally recorded by The Yardbirds in 1966.

FM (and Nash the Slash) would frequently pay tribute to their favourite songs, mostly from the 1960s, in the years to come.

An unusual song on Surveillance is a mostly instrumental track titled "Sofa Back", which the group performed live without its brief vocoderized chant of "Moe, Larry, cheese", a quote from the Three Stooges short film "Horses' Collars", expecting the audience would not understand it.

"Random Harvest' is featured on a 2006 benefit album titled After The Storm for the survivors of Hurricane Katrina.
