Tooker's a tough one to figure out. Very mundane stuff, but with creepy, threatening undertones and a constant sense of unease and dread. Sort of like a Thomas Berger novel translated into visuals. Or maybe the theme of NO EXIT laid out in tempera. You gotta respect anyone who works in tempera.

MP3 players are the technological innovation of our age, don't let anyone bullshit you. "Surreal" is a good way to describe the act of viewing the mind-numbing blandness of office life while early Siouxsie and the Banshees is piped into your head.
