Sferro has a solid debut EP with a few experiments in reversing the sound that come at the end of "Auto" and "Wetware". I dig the former, with its powerful chords and descending 6/8 hook, and I could listen to "Wetware" forever; it's got a great atmosphere and melody. "Intelligent" brings some of the funk and a cool beat and a distorted synth lead. The dark atmosphere of "Low Life" is really cool; a shame it's over so quick. The Tommy remix of "Auto" makes it just as dreamy as the title track. kmxexii
