from the 12” single, Egyptian Empire Records, 1984Even though most of the big electro cuts that dropped back in the ‘80s came from NYC, Miami or Detroit, there was a small yet impressive hub of artists in the LA area that held it down for the west coast, centered around producer Greg Broussard, a.k.a. the Egyptian Lover; he was the brains behind this track, and several other electro classics. The looped piano riff sounds dark & foreboding, which goes along with the lyrical theme of a twisted computer who seeks to mate with an earth woman, assuring the ladies that his, “…kinky parts will blow your mid…”; he also appears to be smoking weed and mentioning world domination, and considering this came out the same year as James Cameron’s Terminator, one has to wonder if Mr. Broussard came right back to the studio after watching that movie, smoked a phat blunt, and proceeded to deliver unto as this stunning bit of electro insanity.
