^ Ah yes "Progressive Future Music". Terrible name (of it's time, rather like the Storm from the East compilation although I don't backlash that stuff as much as some e.g. Simon Reynolds) but some legendary tracks ("Cruising Detroit", "Danny's Song" and of course "The Western")
I recall once seeing an FBD Project 12" in Fopp, Glasgow on which the store assistant had written out FBD as "Future Beyond Dance". However I had read in the mid 90s rave fanzine Eternity that it actually stood for "Funded by Drugs" because Neil Trix has sold weed to buy his studio. Neil confirmed this was correct many years later when I enquired on Twitter.
In tribute then, I shall post this stone cold classic:
