The Italo disco manifesto, as expressed in song, "I'm a Vocoder" remains one of the essential electro tracks of the '80s. The synth work has that bizarre quality peculiar to the best Italo songs that savors both of innocence and mischief. It flirts with the listener. Every little squeaky note, at once cute and naughty, sounds as though its keeping some dirty secret. Compare this to anything by Modern Talking. Whereas Modern Talking loaded so much into their overproduced songs that they become completely devoid of value, Gay Cat Park made perfect, unpretentious, lo-fi synth pop that defined the musical Zeitgeist of the early '80s with inimitable style and wit.
