  BBC - Music Profiles - REM
R.E.M. is an American rock band formed in Athens, Georgia, in 1980 by Michael Stipe (lead vocals), Peter Buck (guitar), Mike Mills (bass guitar), and Bill Berry (drums and percussion).
R.E.M. was one of the first popular alternative rock bands, and gained early attention due to Buck's "jangly" guitar style and Stipe's cryptic vocals.
R.E.M. released Monster, which was a return to a more rock-oriented sound, in 1994 and began its first tour in six years, which was marred by a number of medical emergencies suffered by three bandmembers.

Among R.E.M.’s achievements are a host of humanitarian awards, 3 Grammys, several number one albums, 6 Rolling Stone Covers, numerous MTV Video Music Awards, and over 70 million records sold, making the band one of the most critically and commercially successful groups of all time.
R.E.M.’s seventh record, Out of Time, was released in 1991 and became the group’s first chart-topping album in the US and UK, garnering three Grammys in the process.
R.E.M. was inducted by longtime friend Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam and shared the stage with fellow inductees Patti Smith, Van Halen, The Ronettes, and Grandmaster Flash.

 REM
Alas, after its glorious first decade, REM sunk deeper and deeper into cheesy, electronically-enhanced pop, emerging only once in the mid-90s with a record that made them seem every bit as hip as their Seattle grunge followers.
This was REM's big commercial breakthrough record, and I didn't realize at the time just how good it is because it's not all that different from the last couple of efforts, and it is a little monotonous, like a lot their stuff.
REM wasn't cut out for sweetness and light; it's tragic that they only ever returned to true form one time after this.

 R.E.M. : iSOUND.COM
REM, Rapid Eye Movement, was founded in Athens, US, by young artists Michael Stipe, (born on 4th January 1960 in Decatur near Atlanta), Peter Buck, (born on December 6, 1956 in LA), Mike Mills, (born 17th December 1958 in Orange County, California) and William Berry, (born in Duluth, Minnesota on 31 July 1958).
REM were shy, but quietly confident, and that showed as they were distinctive to the point of instant recognition at such an early stage of their careers, a rare occurrence.
REM also recorded music for the movie “Man on the Moon” starring Jim Carrey and Courtney Love, and it is on the album of the same name that “The Great Beyond” and songs from the movie can be found.

 REM Behavior Disorder (RBD) - SleepChannel
Incidents of REM behavior disorder are often described anecdotally to family members and not to physicians, so statistics of incidence are inexact.
It is, however, known to occur during rapid eye movement sleep, which is characterized by brain activity patterns that resemble wakefulness and which has been documented with polysomnography and other sleep tests.
The basic mechanism for REM sleep paralysis is found in the brainstem, the part of the brain that connects the spinal chord to the cerebral hemispheres and that consists of the pons, midbrain, and the medulla oblongata.
