Five Musicians (also known as FM) was a demo group / netlabel with origins in the demoscene. It was active between the years 1995 and 2000. The idea of limiting the group to only five members caused the group to be very selective. As a result, they created a number of very high-quality releases, and became one of the most influential early netlabels. The first FM FTP-server became what is known today as scene.org.
