No, this album doesnt make me melt as much as Dillinjas old work, e.g. Ghost Stories, You Don't Know (remix), Deadly Deep Subs, or Deeper Love - but its still damn good.

While it may be reasonably stylistically generic, its the style that Dillinja himself invented. Pop vocals and sweet sounding synths get utterly pummeled by banging breaks and just the filthiest of filthy basslines. Its like the most hardcore sounding r'n'b ever made. :)

Production-wise its just nuts, noone touches this mans sound, hes the king of *angry bass* as far as I'm concerned. The tracks alternate between hard, and very-hard - there isn't a huge stylistic range of material here, but theres many killer killer tracks.

And I can't overstate just how *rude* sounding it is... filthy filthy FILTHY. My god...

I agree with views such as those of "Nick (Sydney, NSW Australia)":

I believe that Dillinja is an integral part of Drum & Bass's progression to the genre's well-deserved popularity. I certainly enjoy the music greatly.

I bought 'Cybotron' after reading around the Net, that this was a ground-breaking and uncompromising piece of Drum & Bass art. However, my personal preference is for less vocals (much less) and for more driving, melodic and all-but unrelenting music!

So, after many months of wishing to experience the "Valve sound", filled with expectations of dark, apparently "filthy" music, I was somewhat disappointed by the overtly vocal-based songs.

Lesson learned: definitely find samples of the music before buying.

this is not very good. after about 5 listens i was very very bored. do yourself a favour and listen first. not dillinja's best work.

Looked foward to the release of this CD for some time. On the whole its a bit disappointing. The first couple of tracks sound great on initial play but after a while they lack the mood and depth of previous Dillinja tracks and become boring and repetetive. Later on the album tracks such as "Why" and the title track "Cybotron" meld into the same simplistic D&B and become nothing but annoying. I expected alot more from Dillinja: An artist whose previous works such as "Silver Blade" were sylistic, dark and threatening.A better buy is Goldies "Goldie.co.uk" album.

i don't think a lot of peple really know about this group, i mena, many people have probably heard them before, but not many folks know the name of the band, from their song featured in the hit movie "human traffic," is where i first heard of the group, buying that sound track and falling in love with the song "never believe." it would be a hard buy simply because it is an import, and we in the US of A are used to paying no more than like 15 bucks, but it is for sure worth it, and you still aren't convinced then wait around a while, i am sure the price will go down as an american label will pick them and release the album in the states...DILLINJA! yeah.
