Michael Walker composes a song synthetically, using Apple's GarageBand software. Nic Harcourt disses it, but, appallingly, it doesn't actually suck. In fact, it's much better than some of the synthpop hits of yore, such as Hot Butter's "Popcorn" (#9 in 1972). Walker's decision to modulate upward for the recap even gives it a bit of faux-Vangelis faux-transcendence. Hmmm, it is not possible to be too technologically-advanced or too cynical, is it?
