Getting it at you straightaway, Lullatone's 'Computer Recital' opens up the squeaks and twitches from a PC keyboard with great impact in the opening 'Make This Sound'. Sharp electronic sounds, like fingerclicking in a slow-ish samba fashion, pitch you up, to never return to base again. Arisen from just a few tones,it is a formula which lasts throughout an entire album.   Both artist name and album title aptly describe content. I guess that comes with computer orientated sounds. These need filing. Way back when, Lullatone, whoever he or she might be, would have been a genial pianoplayer. 2003 going on 2004, Lullatone also is a reference name. 'Computer Recital' refers to a language familiar with most. Anywhere like it, this Audio Dregs CD revokes when The Ace Of Spades gets in. The Devil made Lullatone do it and 'Computer Recital' makes itself heard on those tracks, just when it seemed to be safe to walk them. The album is a digital demand to return to base and it should carry answers. Lullatone leaves all out in the open while the 'Computer Recital' album closes in. Lullatone explores the magic of abstraction so well that it passes by unnoticed.   Once there was a Pianosaurus mini-album of music played on kids' toys and it re-occurred to me how crisply that brought back childhood just when the Lullatone version of 'Frère Jacques, dormez-vous?' cropped up, now as 'My Second Favorite Song In The World' . The pureness in micro-chip sound, the innocence of melodic electronica, stands out on 'Computer Recital'. Even when maturity is obvious, Lullatone holds on to original ideas. This french lullaby evergreen gets a reprise in the middle part of side two of 'Computer Recital' and takes up the finishing lines as well.
