To me, this is a quintessential example of '80s new-wave electronica. I remember listening to this, appropriately, as I was studying computer science in college. One of my favorites to this day. Anyway, this song is discussing both the appeal ("In a computer fairyland It is a dream you bring to life.") and the dangers ("Stop - is this reality?") of a digitally-focused life, like the kind many of us live nowadays -- and the song is from 1981! One last note: "sur un faisceau de lumieres" translates to "on a beam of light". |

| This is referring to the comic book/novel/movie character Modesty Blaise. The band apparently changed the name of the song (and the lyrics) to avoid trademark infringement. | |
