Intelligent Italian Electronica from producer Bobby Rifo
and DJ Tommy Tea (ahem). 'Roborama' represents their album
debut together and contains truckloads of stuff to jiggle
around to and admire. This is music which works well on
both the body and the mind. The Bloody Beetroots (grin)
make it possible to dance and to think at the same time.
I don't want, however, to give the impression that the
music is over-cerebral. It isn't. It's exciting, vibrant,
visceral and hugely entertaining!
There are a generous twenty one tracks in the collection
and I didn't experience lapses of attention or interest
for a moment. The energy and invention are sustained from
top to tail.
The atmospheric slow-burning opening of title track
'Roborama' quickly gives way to the thunderous beats and
big brash haunted-house-of-horror synth chords of the
core material. The madness and mayhem is given human
form with the help of electro-thrash maniacs All Leather!
Things don't get any less rumbustious with the marvellous
'Storm'; a widescreen cinematic production of truly demonic
proportions. The sturm und drang is vividly realised with
a foundation-shaking rhythmic pulse which could quite
possibly make your fillings drop out if you play it too loud.
Crikey! There's so much good stuff here I could ramble
on for hours, so I'll give out a few pointers and hope that
you will be interested enough to immerse yourself in the rest.
'Awesome' lopes and struts in equal measure. The Cool Kids
contribute humour and urban credibility with their witty
rhymes and cocky swagger. The chainsaw synth intrusions
are, indeed, awesome!
House Diva Lisa Kekaula delivers some good old-school house
screaming on 'Talkin' In My Sleep'. The dark energy created
by this dangerous mix sounds as though it may have burst
fully-formed from the heart of a volcano. The stuff of nightmares!
If you enjoyed Vitalic's (aka Pascal Arbez) album 'Flashmob' chances
are you'll probably love 'Butter', 'Theolonius (King Voodoo)' and
'Warp 7.7' too. The compositions share a degree of conceptual kinship.
'I Love The Bloody Beetroots', a cut-and-paste razor-edged anthem of
the finest pedigree, is so barmy it made me laugh out loud with joy!
On the other hand 'Mother' delivers a surprising and rather lovely
dose of tenderness to an otherwise pretty full-on listening experience.
Italian rapper (hmmm) Marracash helps bring this fine album to
an interestingly surreal conclusion on 'Come La'. His deadly serious
and passionately intense vocal contribution is a complete hoot!
The artwork is very nasty in the nicest possible way!
Hip Hurrah for The Bloody Beetroots says I.
Highly Recommended.

I was so happy when this arrived because I had been collecting Bloody Beetroots tracks for a while. This album, which doesn't dissapoint with it's many, diverse tracks, Is a fantastic culmination of BB stuff! Only problem is, it doesn't include 'Dimmakmmunication'.
