Ha, knew this would be up fast. :D

You know, the last thing I want to do is inflate Star's ego even more, but this time he deserves it, darn it! Truly exceptional work of a caliber I haven't seen since "Sex Machine." ;)

"They call me Gato, I have metal"-- wait a minute, WTF?

Oh, it's that OTHER robot from CT, now with his own song. Gato's got some competition!

I could've found a better use for a track with real vocals, but this ain't bad. It sounds a little cluttered though... I don't think you're giving the vocals enough "room", volume/etc-wise.

Good and original though :)

It's funny that you say it has emotion. But, technically, it doesn't. It's a robot singing. YET, it does have emotion. GREAT stuff. Robo's theme is some of the best tunage on the CT soundtrack (not that CT is lacking in good tunage), and one of my favorte tracks. And this remix does NOT dissapoint.

I visited this site for years, and hardly post, especially in the reviews, but Star definitely got me a-typing this time. Keep up the good work.

I wonder what it's like to only wait like a week to get a remix posted...

Well I really like this ReMix. It would be nice if the vocals were a little bit louder, but it's an excellent job altogether. The lyrics are so cute (and I mean "cute" in a good way; I'm not insulting them).

Wow, that was fast posting! I only saw that song on WIP like a week or two ago! Lucky dog! :)

Well, what can I say about this great song.......

I loved it at the WIP page.

And I still love it at the front page.

Nice going Star, TheIncredibleSingingRobot is an incredible song.

DAMN!

[anticipates Star's ego] Goddammit, Star, STFU already!

What "Big Shell West Bristol" does for trip-hop, this does for 80s synth-pop. Starblast pulled off a very authentic adaptation to the style. Fellow OC ReMixer Electron, who did an all-80s radio show (The Vault) at my college, would love this track.

So how does someone apparently get to wait only a week to get a mix posted...?

Because HE [points to Star] made THAT [points to "The Incredible Singing Robot"]!

There are some songs that defy their genres. For example, I totally hate most disco (that can be taken more than one way), yet "Stayin' Alive" by the Beegees is completely awesome. Or like how I completely hate Jewel... oh wait... I don't like any of her songs, nevermind...

Anyway, I really like this mix. I enjoyed the concept of this mostly. You took what in any other context would suck and turned it into something really cool. For example, the vocals (if they were outside of this track) would be a joke, but they fit so perfectly. Well done.
