Does your computer talk to you? Does it have a life and mind of its own? Has it fallen in love with your current crush? Does it write love songs on its own? Does it invariably refer to you as "Moles"? If so, you might be caught up in a fantasy world where your life follows the plot of 1984's corny romantic comedy Electric Dreams.

As a kid, I must have seen Electric Dreams more than 20 times on HBO. It's a great film by a third grader's standards, and to the music-obsessed third grader I was, the film's soundtrack stood as the epitome of brilliance. It featured songs by the Culture Club, Jeff Lynne, Heaven 17, and Helen Terry that would all have totally sucked had they not been produced by synthmeister Giorgio Moroder.

But upon listening to Tomorrowland's Sequence of the Negative Space Changes, I'm wondering how it might have reshaped my taste in music had MGM executives been sent to the future to retrieve this album as the film's soundtrack instead. See, Tomorrowland's music is quite the opposite of Moroder's. Where Giorgio's bag was insanely catchy pop hooks fused with wacked-out MIDI sound effects, Tomorrowland are all about atmosphere. Their songs don't have choruses, lyrics or bridges-- they've got texture.

But perhaps the best reason Tomorrowland's latest effort could just as easily have provided the soundtrack for Electric Dreams is because the record has a lot of subtly happy emotion in it. It was also largely written on instruments with names like "sequential pro-one," "realistic mg-1" and "beltone audiometer," so it sounds pretty computery.

The underlying happiness inherent in Tomorrowland's music is its most valuable characteristic. Where most ambient music is dark and mysterious with a tinge of resent, Tomorrowland make it sound quite pleasant. And if you close your eyes and just lay around listening to this stuff through headphones, you actually start to feel a bit light-headed, thereby making it the most legal drug high available.

Tomorrowland may not be the best-known band in ambient music, and they probably never will be. (Again, this is no fault of the band's, but rather ignorance on the general public's behalf.) But once you grab a listen to Sequence of the Negative Space Changes, you'll be a devout Tomorrowland follower, Moles.
