from the LP Krypta: Rare Robotnicks Part 2, Crème Organization, released: 2005, recorded: 1982Within the culture of dance music in the early ‘80s it must have seemed like an epic battle, the fight between Italy and France to be the country acknowledged more often as the smoothest & slickest producer of beats in the world---might I say, this track and much of Alexander Robotnick’s discography makes a convincing argument towards Italy, but I can never ultimately decide. In my humble opinion, this song is immaculate: a bevy of polysynths all decorating the atmosphere with eerie tension, pounding beats, wicked sub-bass bouncing underneath, some handclaps & even an excellent title. After disappearing from sight following the ‘80s, Mr. Robotnick has been back in electronica’s fold again this whole decade, still completely obsessed with the music that machines make.
