This rather obscure record was released in 1986 by Mekano Records (SWE).
Definitely worth a listen for anyone with a taste for electronic music, especially 1980's electronica. Released in the year before house music started off in Europe, it still has those typically bold and sharp 1980's beats. Musically there is some resemblance to The Art Of Noise, though Toys Are Terrific has a darker undertone. There is a continuous presence of human voices (sampled from movies, documentaries and tv/radio broadcasts) across the record. These voices talk/describe/report about aspects of human life that are usually more hidden.
Audio: high quality mp3.
