shit robot = pure detroit techno

― JABBA JABBA!! NIB NIB!! (vahid), Saturday, 5 August 2006 23:42 (nineteen years ago)

re shit robot, my moms sez: "this sounds like stuff we used to listen to ... remember a disco song called POPCORN?"

― JABBA JABBA!! NIB NIB!! (vahid), Sunday, 6 August 2006 02:09 (nineteen years ago)

the dondolo remix is not detroit techno!

― Ronan (Ronan), Sunday, 6 August 2006 09:11 (nineteen years ago)

detroit techno? c'mon.

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Sunday, 6 August 2006 20:51 (nineteen years ago)

it is more Irish 3 step: his LP is called Lord of the Dance.

― GALKIN (GALKIN), Sunday, 6 August 2006 21:48 (nineteen years ago)

he stole that from me.

― Ronan (Ronan), Sunday, 6 August 2006 22:07 (nineteen years ago)

will he ever release a single about "the troubles", like U2 or the Cranberries?

― Ronan (Ronan), Sunday, 6 August 2006 22:07 (nineteen years ago)

ronan you should do a conceptual "troubles" mix.

― HPSTRKRFT (haitch), Monday, 7 August 2006 00:36 (nineteen years ago)

The original name of the band was Shit O'Robot, but we made him change it because it sounded too "ethnic".

Actually maybe the record should be called "O'Shit" to play up the Irish angle.

― GALKIN (GALKIN), Monday, 7 August 2006 00:59 (nineteen years ago)

i am serious!!!

― JABBA JABBA!! NIB NIB!! (vahid), Monday, 7 August 2006 02:27 (nineteen years ago)

seriously cRaZy!

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Monday, 7 August 2006 04:11 (nineteen years ago)

HPSTRKRFT I can imagine a perfect segue from Clannad into a house record.

― Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 7 August 2006 09:37 (nineteen years ago)

shit robot rocks the same epic orchestral steez as a "strings of life" or "journey of the dragons"

― JABBA JABBA!! NIB NIB!! (vahid), Monday, 7 August 2006 19:58 (nineteen years ago)

Shit Robot reminds me of Heldon. And that is great fucking thing to be reminded of.

― Dave Segal (Da ve Segal), Wednesday, 9 August 2006 04:54 (nineteen years ago)

for once i'm with with vahid... pure detroit techno! (ok, with some impure disco or whatevah. but MOSTLY pure.)

― philip sherburne (philip sherburne), Wednesday, 9 August 2006 08:27 (nineteen years ago)

Mostly pure disco is right. I think that it would make sense to differentiate between Wrong Galaxy and Triumph here, though...Wrong Galaxy is much more along what you're saying, Philip. Triumph is much much too disco to be techno.

― trees (treesessplode), Wednesday, 9 August 2006 18:50 (nineteen years ago)

i can't hear any detroit in it at all.

― stirmonster (stirmonster), Wednesday, 9 August 2006 18:56 (nineteen years ago)

Shit Robot reminds me of Heldon

ha, I ref'd Pinhas in a pfork track review for "Triumph"!

― Dominique (dleone), Wednesday, 9 August 2006 19:33 (nineteen years ago)

"for once"????

― JABBA JABBA!! NIB NIB!! (vahid), Wednesday, 9 August 2006 19:43 (nineteen years ago)

oh you know i'm always with you IN SPIRIT, vahid.

― philip sherburne (philip sherburne), Wednesday, 9 August 2006 19:50 (nineteen years ago)

three years pass...

Anticipate the LP he's currently working on with James Murphy.

Personally, i can't wait for this...! Due around the same time as the next LCD Soundsystem.

― micarl, Monday, 23 November 2009 09:09 (sixteen years ago)

"Simple Things' is one of my tracks of the year

― Roger Sánchez Broto (vain_bowers), Monday, 23 November 2009 09:31 (sixteen years ago)

six months pass...

"I Got A Feeling" = tune of the year!

― jed_, Thursday, 10 June 2010 23:55 (sixteen years ago)

The LP can't come soon enough...

― micarl, Friday, 11 June 2010 00:20 (fifteen years ago)

"album "From The Cradle to The Rave" release date September 21st."

― tres vorbei Bestie (micarl), Friday, 11 June 2010 09:24 (fifteen years ago)

three months pass...

new disc sounds good, some regrettable vocals aside.

― Daniel, Esq., Friday, 24 September 2010 04:00 (fifteen years ago)

I love this album. I think it's better than This Is Happening fwiw. The track with Nancy Whang is ace.

― Duran (Doran), Friday, 24 September 2010 06:20 (fifteen years ago)

three years pass...

I was very underwhelmed by the new album but am enjoying this remix:

who is this

― jaymc, Friday, 12 September 2014 06:54 (eleven years ago)

aren't you like the master of answering that question?

― the late great, Friday, 12 September 2014 06:56 (eleven years ago)

haha.

never paid much attention to "shit robot" before, but "ft. lidell townsell" made me perk up.

― jaymc, Friday, 12 September 2014 06:57 (eleven years ago)

imo even w lidell factored in it's pretty wack (to say nothing of the remixes) but the old stuff is great

― the late great, Friday, 12 September 2014 07:02 (eleven years ago)

the lidell remix is maybe not that bad sound-wise but really really earnest-corny in spirit

― the late great, Friday, 12 September 2014 07:04 (eleven years ago)

much like the picture on the youtube video

garish and fake

― the late great, Friday, 12 September 2014 07:06 (eleven years ago)

― the late great, Friday, 12 September 2014 07:06 (eleven years ago)

oh yeah hmmm.

― jaymc, Friday, 12 September 2014 07:08 (eleven years ago)

would have posted the lidell remix if i could, it's much better than that, at least.

six years pass...

found the debut Sh&t Robot/DFA album on cd today for bobbins in a charity shop.
this thread is interesting.
had no idea re the DFA vs ILM thing.
not so sure re the album.
at times it sounds like offcuts from hot chip vs DFA sessions.
but as always with DFA stuff, it will probably take a few more listens and in a couple of months i will be declaring this the best album ever released.
