OK, so I am now the fourth (so far as I know) blog to post this, which means it’s up to you, dear reader, to spread this everywhere! With cover art like this, you know it’s gonna be some ultra-kick-ass retro 80s french house electro nu disco awesomeness, but you just don’t know the degree to which FM Attack has hit the nail on the head. Although there are only two songs from which to gauge his talent (check his myspace for more), Vancouver’s Shawn Ward has proven his place in a burgeoning scene that is often overcrowded with cheap imitators. The first track, Disco Attack is a nice, rhythmic deep housey electro track that recalls early 80s French clubs, while the second track, Take Me Away, is a much fresher and contemporary interpretation of retro electro sounds with a nu-disco sensibility brought to us by artists from the Valerie collective such as Anoraak, among others. Each track represents a pole on the range of electro music wonderland that FM Attack deftly traverses, though if I could I would encourage him to stick to innovating with more tracks such as Take Me Away for a more accessible full-length and stick to extended edits of tracks like Disco Attack for his live performances, which I eagerly await.
