I was 14 when I heard and bought this song. I listened to it a lot and listening to it now, I still remember every little sound that fascinated me so much at the time.

[kareeji]

seriously love this song. i love that a lot of my favorite current bands are taking a lot from the new wave era... because the main riff in this is fucking KILLER

Can't beat it. This is the very stuff that 80's nostalgia is made of. Just researched Control Data. Apparently they're no longer with us. Heroes.

I was in Japan when this bit came out. The Japanese had game rooms with 100s of different computer games and I spent a lot of time playing them. It was almost magic. This song takes me back to Japan. I love it.

in the days where you had to go out of the house to play games
