...Step into my office..Why?? You're fucking fired....for being a sweet exponent of squelching techno and futuristic floor fillers. Free The Robots don't sound like they are from the future, they sound like they ARE the future. This album is a tidy collection of experimental Electronica that maybe nods its cyber cap to Chris Clarke or one of them fellas. Some tracks caress you sweetly, some tracks garb you by the lapels and demand you get yer dancing feet on.The production on this puppy is super sweet, and the tunes themselves are both rich in melody and muscular sounding. There is a Sci Fi undercurrent on this album which I'm enamoured with. Set lasers to stunning etc....My favourite tune so far is the epic "Orions Belt Buckle" which takes you on a journey through a dystopian landscape and dumps you outside a futuristic nightclub with nothing to wear but a jam sandwich. A strong offering from the Alpha Pup kennel.
A staggering work of mind-warping electronics, fuzzed-out psych and devastating hip hop beats, this debut album will catapult Free The Robots to the forefront of the world renowned L.A. beat scene. Initially started as a side project by Chris Alfaro in 2003, Free The Robots has quickly garnered a worldwide audience. Combining dusty swap-meet samples, futuristic synthesizers and live instrumentation, Free The Robots has created a unique harmony of past sounds and future ruminations. Much like his L.A. contemporaries Flying Lotus and Nosaj Thing, Free The Robots knows no genre boundaries. ‘Ctrl Alt Delete’, which also features Ikey Owens of The Mars Volta, has been a long time coming. Originally signed to Alpha Pup over two years ago, Free The Robots has put his heart and soul into this meticulously constructed album, the culmination of countless late nights at Low End Theory, combined with a spirit of fearless experimentation. The result rattles with grit and swagger -- a firm proclamation of Free The Robot's sonic arrival.
