Harem Scarem have a unique defining sound, yet seem to side step it with each album release. Each record has it's own style and the band have managed to record four studio album's without repeating themselves once while still integrating their key sounds - vocals, harmonies and the guitar sounds. And once again the band have moved a little off center into new territory again. On their debut, Harem Scarem instantly put themselves on the map with a pure Canadian burst of melodic power AOR. With Mood Swings, the band took on the harder edge guitars and big vocals. With Voice Of Reason, it was a tough uncompromising modern record that held their great melodies, but a more complex song structure.

Fiore's debut "Today Till Tomorrow", which was released January 1998, was/is a good record, but definitely nowhere near the qualities of this new release "Body Electric" (MTM Music) / ’’All I Feel’’ (Japan CD), officially released December 14th 1998. As then Harem Scarem vocalist Harry Hess, with additional help from Scarem's guitarist Pete Lesperance also produces this new one. On "Today Till Tomorrow" Jon's voice never came to its right as it seemed to drown in Harry Hess' production, but that has been adjusted now and his voice comes out clear in the mix. The production has also been updated, and reminds a bit of recent Harem Scarem productions. More naked and a really alive feeling.
