Quirky synthpop. That's what you get with Joy Electric. His 7", Workmanship, he had a little more fun with his quirkiness.
Sheffield Youth is a throwback to the 80's synthpop movement in England, while Envelope Brigade and Wireless, From London (although Wireless is more "stripped" down). It's the instrumental interludes where Ronnie had some fun. Ohm I is a quick track that hits a fuzzed filled build. Mistook has some semblance of a song structure, but it's constantly being deconstructed. There's an a brief line of singing, but it feel like an added piece of instrumentation as it never develops. Either Or is more bleeps and bloops that sound musical. There's a melody line in there, that's very pretty, but the abstract sounds around it create a battle for you attention.
Fans of Joy Electric, or people just looking for a fun, quick listen should give this record a spin.
It looks like the vinyl is out of print, but I'm sure if you look hard enough, you could track down a copy. It is available on iTunes and other digital music services... But that's not the point.
