Les Robots - ​​12 Favorites From Planet Earth CD (Bickerton) 

Les Robots deliver rock n’ roll from outer space, with a sound that blends instrumental rock n’ roll and the experimental electronic music of the 60’s. The spirit of Joe Meek hangs heavy here, with the instruments used and the production. For this release they’ve chosen 12 of their favorite songs from the 60’s and given them their own unique spin. However, while many of the bands covered here are very well-known, they’ve chosen some of their more obscure songs. So with the Beatles, they chose “Don’t Bother Me”, and with the Kinks they cover “I Need You”, and so on. Guitars and vintage synths and stylophones trade what were previously the vocal melodies with the original recordings. With so much going on, so many great, wonderful sounds, and the fact that the songs aren’t all well-known, you get an album that really sounds unique. It’s really hard to compare them to anyone else - they’re simply “Les Robots”!
