Another really over-the-top “technopop” homage in the vein of Sakamoto’s B-2 Unit and YMO’s Solid State Survivor — again, with a heavy focus on precision programming, featuring lots of herky jerky starts and stops and metallic FM-y sounds. The idea here was to kind of merge a late-70s analog computer music sound with that of the slightly colder records that emerged early in the following decade. As a result, you have a few Kraftwerk-y percussion sounds underpinned by some pretty leaden Linn Drum samples.

There are a few cut-up vocal effects in there — a complete nod to the Sylvian “tapes” stuff from the early 80’s where some processed Japanese singer would just burst in for a split second. I like it here.
