Review by Kristen Haynie

Album Review: Faces Feel The Fear by Clio (1985) Clio’s Faces Feel The Fear isn’t your run-of-the-mill electronic album from the '80s. Released in 1985 under the German label Chic, this record dives deep into a mix of Disco, Italo-Disco, and Electro vibes that feel both nostalgic and oddly fresh. Produced and arranged by Clio alongside R. Ferrante, who also wrote the tracks, it’s got this sleek, polished energy that doesn’t try too hard to impress—it just does. The opening track, “Feel The Fear,” grabs you right away. It’s one of those songs where the beat sneaks up on you like, “Oh hey, I’m here now, let’s dance.” The synths shimmer with this retro-futuristic vibe, while the bassline keeps things grounded. There’s something about the way the melody loops—it’s hypnotic but not overdone. You can tell Ferrante put thought into crafting a tune that sticks without being annoyingly catchy. If you’re into Italo-Disco, this is the kind of track that makes you want to hit repeat… maybe even twice. Then there’s “Faces,” which flips the mood entirely. Where “Feel The Fear” feels upbeat and dancefloor-ready, “Faces” leans more introspective. The production layers these moody keys over a steady drum machine rhythm, creating this dreamy yet slightly haunting atmosphere. It’s the type of song that plays in your head long after the album ends. Honestly, I found myself zoning out halfway through, just letting the sound wash over me. Not every track nails that balance between emotional depth and groove, but this one pulls it off. What stands out most about Faces Feel The Fear is how cohesive it feels despite its stylistic range. Clio and Ferrante clearly had a vision—they weren’t just throwing random beats together hoping for a hit. Every element, from the arrangements to the mixing, serves a purpose. Sure, some moments might feel a tad dated (it is from 1985, after all), but that only adds to its charm. Listening to it today feels like stepping into a time capsule, except instead of dust, you’re greeted by neon lights and pulsing rhythms. Here’s the thing though—what really stays with me isn’t just the music itself. It’s the fact that an album like this could come out of Germany during the mid-'80s and still resonate decades later. Back then, people were probably rocking perms and shoulder pads while grooving to this stuff, and yet here we are in 2023, tapping our feet to the same beats. Weird, right? Maybe fear isn’t such a bad thing if it pushes artists to create something this timeless. So yeah, give Faces Feel The Fear a spin. It’s not perfect, but it doesn’t need to be. Sometimes all you need is a good beat, a dash of nostalgia, and a reminder that emotions—whether fear or joy—are universal. And hey, who knows? You might just find yourself dancing like it’s 1985 again.

Never forget the names of the masterminds behind this song… Roberto Ferrante and Clio (Maria Chiara Perugini).

“Somewhere someone is thinking of you. Someone is calling you an angel. This person is using celestial colors to paint your image. Someone is making you into a vision so beautiful that it can only live in the mind."
