Music For Robots Volume 1 - Electronic AI Soundtrack | Futuristic Background Music for Sci-Fi Films, Robot Programming & Tech Events

Review "For those who never had cool older sibs to guide them, last year's compilation from indie gurus Music For Robots is a helpful primer to underground bands. From the calm atmospherics of El Ten Eleven to radical raps from Mr. Lif. It defies genre specificity, yet remains uniformly listenable." --Entertainment Weekly"...One of the premier curators of [new music] is the MP3 blog Music for Robots (MFR). True to its name, they have been responsible for the introduction of the finest music that robots allegedly listen to. It is a worldview drenched in coordinates, mechanised motions and communication in zeros and ones... ...MFR has produced a compilation of 19 of their more notable finds. It is a treasurechest of rarities, pre-releases and new music from various bands, a preview of soon-to-be fixtures on some tastemaker s iPod. And the music selection is spot on. Even though most of the names are not exactly household ones bar Death From Above 1979, Mae-Shi and Mojo favourites The National they have successfully canonised what constitutes the Good [stuff] of good [stuff] these days. With inclusions of labels like Vice Records and Australia s Modular Records, there is an admirable buffet of tracks touching on all points of the electronica spectrum. Indie rock filtered through digital lenses becomes earphone candy. Song sequence is equally brilliant. Music for Robots, Vol. 1 succeeds in giving every track its proportionate attention, with enough variety here to keep things from becoming overly predictable. There is ample spacing of dancey-dancey tracks with the more introspective ones, preventing a monotonous hegemonic lull... ...what sets this apart from other inferior electronica compilations is the MFR crew s ability to sift through all the artificially-generated artifice and find the beating heart within. They have found the organic within the inorganic, the soul within the sheen, and the blood within the basslines. As much as this may be music for robots, it s compulsory music for humans, too." --Think.com.my
