Here's a great review of this record from the discogs site:
"This record was way before its time. Expanding upon electronic foundations laid by Kraftwerk, Q created an impressive four-track release here that really shows off their talents in all areas of music production. The first track we hear is "Playback," which is really a music lover's anthem. It's a cleverly crafted allegory that relates the process of a recording a song to a romantic relationship, and it's quite difficult not to sing it in your head for quite a bit after you listen to it. It's also quite evident to fans of SSQ (which is what Q would become) that this track is a harbinger to "Big Electronic Beat." "Video Girl" is a total sign of the times, which isn't a bad thing at all. Songs like this were popping up everywhere in the early 80's, but few had the musical prowess found here. "Music's Gone" is a dark, compelling track that relates one's feelings after a relationship is over to that of a world with no music. Finally, "Sushi" closes the EP, a track that is quite unlike the other three. It's an upbeat, toe-tapping calypso track in which the singer decries her love for both sushi and a boy in a band. Again, it's tough not to sing along. True fans of electronic music will appreciate this record for its simplicity, its creativity, and the total appreciation for music."
