WAIT! STOP! Do Not Exit! Unless you buy this CD. Servotron remixes with the club atmosphere in mind are here on this collection of audio mind control units designed to subvert the human race. I love every song on this CD, I just wish there were more.

I must say that I wanted very badly to like this band. The problem was, despite managing at least to like one song on the albun Spare Parts, I got the distinct Impression that this band was yet another young, spoiled white pretty boy/girl band who missed the mark they set for themselves by being derivative and unoriginal. Their Robo-act may initially appeal to New Wave, or Electronic Freaks, but ultimately, not the real ones like myself. The problem with this band is the same as many 90's bands, where talent, vision and imagination are entirely forgone for Looks and Hype alone. The Creative Fruit of which is always listless and dull... The Creators of this music did little to convince me they really were Space Age Machines. Instead, all I was shown was what I have seen before, a bunch of Yuppie Droids posing as Artists with no message, no purpose and no meaning other than the desire to be adored for a sleekness or a cuteness that quickly wears thin. I found myself wanting to listen to Kraftwerk afterwards, the real masters of this style of music, for Servotron left me feeling empty, aching and unsatisfied. They seem to be still taking lessons from Kraftwerk. In my opinion, they are poor students. This band seems more like a juvenille B52's, and one without a clue...
