There's a big 80's electonic revival that's been going for a few years now -- it went pop a few years ago circa M83 and Cut Copy, but an underground pulse keeps the dream alive.
At its best, this is the best of that.
Wistfulness, escape, possibility. Those chord tuned into your soul, those arpeggios outlining its outlines. The instrumental tracks are better than most.
The problem's the vocal tracks. That's where FM-84 go from conjuring the spirit of the 80's to reanimating its soulless corpse, pet cemetary style. Those songs are just too Top Gun soundtrack, and kill the flow. But in between, again, better than most, take me away 3.5/5
