the lab review

80s electro songs about computers rule! Black dudes who call themselves the Egyptian Lover rule! Both these dynamics are in effect on this lost 1984 12". The Egyptian Lover-produced "Computer Power(1)" starts off with the textbook electro intro: hard electronic drums with electronic voices layered on top. Next up, the semi-cheesy piano hook, then the finishing touch: Jamie Jupitor's dystopian, baritone vocoder lyrics. He plays the role of computer proclaiming: Computers are the future world, we program for the boys and girls, there's nothing we don't understand, we're smarter than the normal man... COMPUTER POWER!!! Epic. Big bonus on the flip with the instrumental. I wonder if the Jamie Jupitor fan club info on the label is still valid.
