Duo begs you to do the robot
The album title is much more evil than the music suggests. When Robots Go Bad! is more like "when robots make out on the dancefloor." Sure, you get the laser beams, distorted guitar samples and even robot speak on "Red Laser Beam," but the theme here is sex. Robin Brunson and Stuart Warren-Hill know how to make a dancefloor steamy. MC B+ adds sultry vocals over huge beats on "Freak Me" (a dance that has been outlawed at junior-high dances across the States). Somebody call Ozone, cause Breakin'-style tempos pervade the album, until "TLC" brings the train to a hault with euphoric downtempo.
