The "Robot Heart" (trk1) video is featured on musicvideosthatsuck.com : "Is it possible for a band to be nerdier than Rush, the Buggles, Devo and Jethro Tull combined? Artificial Intelligence proves that the answer is yes."
"This sort of 'pan' warms the mechanical cockles of my robot heart", opines composer Rory Young. "I think music that challenges--and I hope ours does--should never leave you luke-warm. You should love it or hate it--like the Law of the Excluded Middle." :
