Origins of F.O.A.M.
F.O.A.M. stands for "Fragments of a mel". It started as a simple project to share music with an important entity on tape, for fun. Mel cannot not overdo things, so it filled two tapes with music dear to its heart, made covers for them and this website to hold more informations, more than could ever fit on a simple J-Card.
