Random Insults - Songs For Robots
Artist: Random Insults
Album: Songs For Robots
Label: Roil Noise Offensive
Year: 2005
Format: CDr
Tracks: 10
TRT: 36:26
Songs For Robots is a journey. When listening to this CD in one sitting I get the feeling that these tracks are trying to tell a story, and with track titles like Work Nuclear Disaster Cleanup Unit you can tell there is a point to be made with this disc. Like it is stated in the Roil Noise Web Page RI is emotion made into music. And it is very clear in this CD.
The tracks all carry heavy bass synth that move each track along without the listener getting tired and wondering off whilst the track moves. The drums are very industrial sounding, and not something youd hear from the MET label, these are drums that make industrial what it is, scratchy and focused. You cant dance to this! There are no vocals in any of the tracks either, which is not something I don't like. If a CD can pull off 40 minutes without any vocals and still sound good, hell I'm all for it. Like I said in the beginning too, this CD tells a story, and you don't always need vocals.
In some ways you could classify this as a noise/industrial CD as well. A few tracks contain sections of pure static rhythms and loops of fuzzy bass lines. Another note is that this CD sounds like Autechre run threw a robot destruction from hell compressor. The beats are very unpredictable at times and the have that same feel as some late 90's Autechre tracks did (tracks 1 and 10 to note), except for the fact that this is industrial music, and there's a story to tell here; Assemble to Disassemble. This CDr had recently been remastered as well.
Art work is great too and is done by Adrian Dimond, the front man behind Xdugef, who has done many art projects. The only draw back to the CD is thats it's 37 minutes. I would have loved a 60 minute CD of this and maybe a few tracks with "robotic vocals", but then that would have changed the plot.
