I tend to think of robots as futuristic, scientific, ruthless and streamlined, so I tried to match that with song choices except at the end when my robot got a bit sentimental and started worrying about his lovelife. Is love possible when you're made of metal?

Track 10 from Is Terrified
Length: 00:02:38 Year: 0000 |

Track Description:
Picture the scene, a hopelessly sterile lab, late at night. An aging scientist is hunched over his creation, his baby, his frankenstein. The newest line in robots, it will make him famous he will win the nobel prize! Just as he fits the final fuse, his phone rings. The scientist leaves the room to chat to his loving wife, ignorant of the fact that the metallic arms of the robot are twitching into spasm. The phonecall is important and he has to return home pronto. Meanwhile Robot 6.0 is still in spasm. In theory, humans can control robots, so yeah i guess you could say it was manipulating! I thought this song was pretty good in terms of setting the pace of the mix and also it starts with one of my favourite lines, 'oh don't you know life is a fancy dress ball and if you must come as yourself well you're no fun at all!'

Track Description:
If I was a robot, I think I'd get a bit depressed with the whole soulless aspect of it all. This song represents the drone aspect of being a robot! Something 6.0 feels he is obliged to do something about. The spasms finally stop and he finds his chest is aglow with a thousand little lights and buttons, he presses one and is propelled across the room. With this Robot 6.0 is born. SHOW LESS
