FASME Vinyl & CDs

Review: In the past few years Tom Ferreira has swiftly established his Fasme project as a strident voice in the field of emotionally-charged electro. Following a string of singles for labels like Craigie Knowes, Dream Ticket and Feel My Bicep, he's now delivering his debut album to Analogical Force. Bloom should hugely appeal to those who crave heart-swooning melodic lines in the midst of their snappy machine rhythms, but there's a full spectrum of moods explored as Ferreira glides from the staccato Moroder pulse of 'Pursuit' to the playful acid strut of 'Comete'. Throughout, the feels are placed front and centre of this instantly endearing record from a fast-rising talent.

Review: Fasme is a fast rising start who made a head turning debut on the Craigie Knowles label back in September and now ends his year with Nocta a fine outing on Numerica. It kick off with a delightful upbeat and playful acid laced electro jaunt in the form of 'Nocta Numerica' then 'Flower Path' has a quicker stepping rhythm. 'Sky With No Stars' bumps on a nice corruscated low end and 'Planance' shuts down with nice far-sighted chords and lashings of ambient pad work.
