Love Imitation by fmy: A Neon-Drenched Journey Through Electro and Trance
Alright, let’s talk about Love Imitation. Released in 2013 by Japanese artist fmy under the Altanaphixx label, this album is like that one friend who shows up uninvited but ends up being the life of the party. It’s an electronic gem with electro and trance vibes so smooth they could melt steel. And yeah, it’s from Japan—because of course it is. This place has a knack for crafting sounds that feel both futuristic and deeply human.
Now, onto the tracks. The album kicks off with “Imitation Of Love,” which honestly hits you right in the feels. The synths are lush, almost like they’re wrapping you in some kind of neon blanket. There’s this pulsing beat underneath that keeps things moving without ever feeling rushed. What sticks with me most? Those little melodic flourishes—they’re subtle, but man, do they linger. Like when someone says something kinda profound at a party, and you can’t stop thinking about it later.
Then there’s “Stargaze Parade.” Oh wow, this one’s a vibe. Imagine floating through space on a glittery disco ball while lasers shoot past your head. That’s what listening to this track feels like. The build-up is slow, teasing you until BAM—it explodes into this euphoric drop that makes you wanna flail your arms around like nobody’s watching. Honestly, if aliens ever invade Earth, we should just blast this song at them. They’d probably boogie instead of blowing us up.
The other two tracks, “Luminance” and “Against All Advantage,” hold their own too. They’ve got that same polished-yet-raw energy that runs throughout the album. But hey, let’s be real—not every track needs to steal the spotlight. Sometimes it’s cool to have songs that just vibe in the background, keeping the mood alive.
Here’s the thing about Love Imitation: it doesn’t try too hard. It knows exactly what it is—a sleek, shimmering ride through electro and trance landscapes—and it owns it. No frills, no overthinking. Just pure, unadulterated soundscapes that make you want to dance, cry, or maybe even do both at the same time (no judgment here).
So yeah, give this album a spin if you’re into music that feels like a lucid dream dipped in stardust. Or don’t. Honestly, I think fmy would be okay either way. But seriously, don’t sleep on “Stargaze Parade.” If nothing else, it’ll make your next road trip feel like an intergalactic adventure.
Oh, and one last thought—why aren’t more people talking about this album? Like, c’mon world, get it together!
