    At almost 30 minutes exactly, PC Music Volume 1 quits while it’s ahead.

    The result is a kind of aggressively cute bubblegum trance that sounds like Aqua having a computer meltdown.

    Their classics remain buried in web mixes, but this set captures PC Music’s sublime pop philosophy.

    The songs vary in each respective artist’s execution, but adhere to the label’s governing aesthetic: brash beats and sugar-blasted vocals that sound simultaneously engaged and detached from the words they pronounce.

    PC Music is escapism whose primary effect is to remind us of what we’re trying to escape. We can’t trade body for avatar; we can’t displace longing forever. But for the space of an album--the sheer forcefulness of this intention smashed into a dizzy half-hour span--the sincerity within our most fundamentally artificial impulses comes calling.

    What’s impressive is the wide swathes of bubblegum pop Vol. 1 manages to cover.

    Beyond Cook's own uncannily elegiac "Beautiful," the songs are only as good as the concept, which wears thin fast.
