Close your eyes. Picture Rusty Griswold at a topless disco in National Lampoon's European Vacation (1985). Do you hear that song playing in the background? How awesome is it??!! Well, this was the track.

Alexander Robotnick, aka Maurizio Dami, rewrote Italo by attaching a ground wire to Electro and letting the current rip. He also set the bar for performance names. This fellow is a legend who still exercises his servos and gives one hell of a live performance.

This is probably the last robot dance outfit I'm going to post for a while. UK's Tik & Tok were pretty far out there, looking more like Fischerspooner predecessors than robots. Luckily for them, their darker, more minimal synth tracks were way, WAY better than their robotic dance routines. The only place I've ever seen The Tube is on a 2004 Rephlex pressing that has all of Tik & Tok's better (i.e. more minimal) tracks and sells for under $10!

Machines that think they're human pretending to be robots. I-R-O-N-Y. Love it. The track is decent, but nothing mind-bending.
