Although German dance trio Toktok formed way back in 1993, it wasn't until they met singer Sophia Larsson Ocklind that they felt compelled to start work on their debut, Toktok Vs. Soffy O. It's easy to see why she so moved them. Her quirky mix of emotionless androidism and sugary sunshine make her the perfect voice for Toktok's, body-popping, euro-trash synth-pop. Together, their monotone melodies and cheap analogue sounds might suggest electro-clash experimentation, especially when played out to gorgeously deep house ("The Lookalikes", "Talkative", "One of These Places") and sleazy basement punk ("A Pointless Life").

But at heart Toktok are passionately retro. With Casio keyboard rhythm tracks and equally hi-tech keyboard sounds, and with electro-disco tracks like "Jean" sounding like they're about to break into Dead or Alive's "You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)" or anything by Human League, images of people wearing electric pink eye-shadow and dancing like robots is hard to shift. Yet spectacularly kitsch as Toktok's Depeche-Mode-with-a-smile shtick is, it's scarily addictive, and in a time of super-buffed dance-floor sophistication, their minimalist DIY attitude and angular grooves--as showcased by the sneering "Missy Queen's Gonna Die"--are fantastically refreshing. --Dan Gennoe
