This is a disappointment. Even if I account for its being a couple of years older than me, and the prominence of MIDI, it still sounds worse (IMHO) than Upstairs At Eric's. Granted, there's definitely more intense sequencing in CW than Upstairs. But there's something eminently timeless about fat keyboard melodies, something that survives repeated listens through sheer passion and energy, and to me, that cannot be said of mathmatically precise, insanely repetative vocoder samples, weirdly oscillating synth figures and hollow drum programming (yes, yes, I know, pre - acid tech, but still...) With that said, you might I'm really trying to come down on these guys. Not so. Computer Love's lyrics are timely as ever, and only a hater would not dance to It's More Fun To Compute. And the three - part movement of Pocket Calculator, Numbers, and the reprisal of Computer World is still perhaps among the best sequencing in my album collection. At the end of the day, I have other albums from this era which I will probably turn to more. And the protactedness of the record was a slight misfortune. 7 / 10 |

Mmmm... 't' & 'a'... ...which reminds me of something missing from Computer World: enough heartrending / lifting / breaking lyrics. |

It actually turned out a decent value for under $10 CDN, though. |
