Seven-and-a-half years after I release the darn thing, the reviews are in! And they (well, it) are (is) glowing. I’m not sure who undomondo is, but they really like my Robot Love CD. Which makes them very cool in my book. Actually, since I think they really managed to articulate what I was trying to do with that album better than I ever could, I’ll post the entire review here (click on more). I don’t think my mom wrote it… never can tell with these Internets, though.

The Review: I have played this album over and over again for a couple of weeks now. I can’t stop listening to it. It’s corny but it’s so honest. I can’t quite describe it. Victor Lams started this album in March of 2000. He recorded a song a week. From what I can tell he uses his computer and some synths. The music is so goofy and harmless. He’s a guy who really knows where his towel is. He has a ton of free music on the internet. You can find links on his website. I don’t like what I’ve heard as much as his love ode to robots. I found this album to be fun and refreshing. Yes it’s dorky and goobery but it’s got guts. It reminds me of listening to Dr. Demento as a child. The album isn’t trying to be a complete novelty album, though. You can tell Victor put a lot of his heart in it. I love that the album has an intermission. It works with the flow. You need an intermission with an album with 23 tracks. It’s an album where I didn’t find myself skipping through tracks. I just kept playing it over an over again. It’s cheeseball but Victor has got soul. White nerdy soul, but he’s got it. Check out some free tracks from this album on his site also.
