Presumably with a straight face, Emma Davidson (aka Lektrogirl) presents
something of a novelty record, a curiosity the minute it jumped out of
the starting gate. In much the same way DMX Krew (which sounds like a
symphony by comparison) revels in '80s lo-fi sterility, Davidson places
her dry keyboard front and center, almost defiantly. Churning out
pinched little anthems through limited recording facilities, her style
of music caters to a particular audience who believes there's a record
for every conceivable occasion. In this case, perhaps the occasion is
"watching sloppy German existentialist children's films about octopus
clothing." For those who enjoy the Liquid Sky soundtrack, here's
something similar ù though perhaps a little more "commercial." There are
so few elements, its simplicity makes this something of a punk record
relative to the label's typical output. "Comengo Commando" jams stiffly
like an opening theme to a Soviet Claymation cop show, and "Progressive
Euro Track" makes similar attempts at sounding edgy or serious in the
face of its limitations. "Peeks and Pokes" is a waiting-room jingle for
a Korean animal adoption agency. So many tracks here bubble and fizz in
the same nerdy fashion, the similarities make the album almost creepy.
It feels like a joke on the label's devotees, who will likely put up
with it even if they don't understand (Rephlex breeds this sort of
loyalty). I Love My Computer is designed to furrow the eyebrows into
confused pretzels, as it offers little explanation. For some listeners
it's a diamond in the rough; to others it's simply "rough." - Glenn Swan
