Reception

Stereogum felt that it was "mellow" and "could have been written in the '60s",[2] while the Guardian called it "strutting, tongue-in-cheek funk".[3] Pitchfork faulted the lyrics as "reek(ing) of a distinct lack of confidence", but lauded the music, in particular the "out-of-nowhere elevator-music break".[4] National Public Radio praised it as a "marvel of spare instrumentation".[5]

gollark: Natively, Computronics tapes are basically just big binary storage things you can playback DFPWM from, so my thing consists of an encoder which converts whatever input to WAV to DFPWM using external tools, as well as reading their metadata and adding a metadata block to the start of the tape to be read.
gollark: That's Minecraft Bedrock Edition, except it's monetized horribly and doesn't have mod support.
gollark: I actually made a program for CC which plays music off tapes with metadata, which is neat.
gollark: That is true.
gollark: I mean, playing music in Minecraft is cool, but... some weird codec at 48kbps is not very good.
