imanodoubtaholic - 5-18-2005 at 09:12 PM

HAA i love it.. it's so quirky cool they actually have a song with 'ima robot' in it now.
love it
alex finally fulfilling his MC dreams..

7cut - 5-18-2005 at 11:43 PM

nice nice nice, almost electro-esque guitar.....when is there gonna be an ima breakbeat track? ;)


Noisemonster - 5-19-2005 at 03:59 AM

fresh! this song makes me wanna drive around town with my car stereo turned up.. like all these suckers, but with better music :lol:

draconian - 5-19-2005 at 04:55 AM

Sugar Hill Gang!

poobs - 5-19-2005 at 06:52 AM

Yes, Drac!! That's who I was thinking of!! :yes:

batcave_baby - 5-19-2005 at 08:26 AM

I don't really like it. I never thought I'd say that about an Ima Robot song. I do like the music, but the vocals and lyrics kind of turn me off. I think it's just to weak to be the type of band anthem that it was perhaps intended to be. And that's the most critical I have ever been of one of their songs. :(

Bear - 5-19-2005 at 08:29 AM

This song makes me want to break dance.

poobs - 5-19-2005 at 09:00 AM

Well, keep in mind it's also a demo..I'm sure they'll change it up a bit if they decide to go with it..

draconian - 5-19-2005 at 01:26 PM

Also, I think they have a nutload of these lying about, it might be something of a throwaway.

AgesOfRuin - 5-19-2005 at 02:06 PM

Not sure what I think. I love the funk-esque of it, but I feel a bit of experimentation within, and I think it's a given since it's a demo. The lyrics feel uninvolved at first then become a little bit more pointed. It's a "right type of mood" song, methinks.

7cut - 5-20-2005 at 12:09 AM

demos can be gosh.....i love the demo of "dynomite".

Peace

stannum - 5-20-2005 at 01:38 PM

Haha, it does resemble sugar hill gang. With apache and/or rappers delight.
Good song.

Noisemonster - 5-21-2005 at 01:13 AM

this is definitely more than a demo for me (or a throwaway)! if you ask me ---> i would absolutely love to hear more of that kind. :yes:

poobs - 5-21-2005 at 08:23 AM

We're definitely not going far with this one, I agree with your assessment. :-) It's a bit of a throwaway, we don't consider it in the same league as our other songs we've been working on for the past 6 months. We just thought y'all might have fun with it. And by the way: this song has Ollie all over it.

serene23 - 5-21-2005 at 11:01 AM

I dig it. It's obviously a short little joke of a song. Making fun of those bands that stick their name in a song and rap about it. It certainly sticks in your head. That keyboard line won't leave.

corkey16 - 5-21-2005 at 04:27 PM

I love it too!!!!:D Love the whole old school sound in it.

minimandy14 - 5-21-2005 at 05:37 PM

Man, it does get stuck in your head though. . . . .

ART1SSS - 5-21-2005 at 09:03 PM

I don't know about this demo it sounds like a Dirty Vegas track. I feel like it's gonna end up on a Mitsubishi car commercial soon.

Anywayz...I'm glad to hear sumthin' new...it gives me sumthin' to look forward to when their forthcoming album drops.

=MARV=

blackamnesia - 5-23-2005 at 12:11 PM

Ok..so ive signed up agesss ago, but don't think i ever got round to posting?
But wow..i love it. I think its a bit different from their other stuff..but i have a feeling i'll have this in my head for ages!!

new demo

jaz - 5-24-2005 at 10:46 PM

are you guys smoking crack? this is friggin' boring. can we try harder to remove the soul? come on, guys, you have to have more tricks up your sleeves.

NervousEnergy - 5-27-2005 at 08:39 AM

Well I'm new to these boards so hi for starters.

I came here in search of some Ima Robot news as after getting the album last summer and loving it (Black Jettas being my 2004 anthem!) and here I find a new little demo, nice.

I don't see what the problem is with it, I think it's a pretty catchy little number. Just a space filler until new stuff comes out, so it's good of them to even do that!

What I did want to know, if anyone can answer me, is when can I expect a UK tour and/or a new album from the group? :D

poobs - 5-27-2005 at 08:44 AM

Hello, Nervous..:D

You can find more stuff in the download section..Some really good stuff, actually..Especially in the My Monkey On Ice section..

As far as a tour, I think they're just focusing on the new record for now..We'll all just have to be patient..They're working hard and will definitely deliver.. :D

draconian - 5-27-2005 at 09:03 AM

I would also recommend that Nervous grab "Winter Fling," a melancholy little ditty from late 2004 that should also be in the Download Center...

NervousEnergy - 5-28-2005 at 07:14 AM

Cool, well I'll just sit tight then. :)

I listened to winter fling too, it was great! It didn't feel out of place at the moment either because even though it's nearly June the weather in Scotland is dreadful, wet and windy and it was 10 degrees C yesterday. Rubbish! :no:

Is there no way to actually download the demos from that forum so I can stick em on a cd to let some people hear?

Look in your temporary internet files folder.

Neuwave - 5-29-2005 at 10:12 AM

Blow up Johnny Rockets? Nooooo!!! :lol:

I'm totally diggin' this. Good to see you guys are sticking true to form. If this has Ollie written all over it, then this may be a testament to his legacy(kind of Gary Numan-ish). I'm already chantin it.

I love the message too:

We are on top!

And we won't stop!

I'm in for the long haul.
Don't front like we made it
we were born on the top

I Don't give a fuck
what nobody say
we aint neva
gonna stop.

It was only yesterday that my boyfriend said "oh god, youīre spending so much money on shows. beck. duran duran. m.i.a. and i guess Ima Robot are gonna come by soon again also!" i hope they will. :yes:


lomax - 6-2-2005 at 04:10 AM

um, ok, sitting here listening to it for the 3rd time. I have a feeling its a 'throwaway' demo as Drac said. I don't really like it. sorry. Too bitty and boring. Doesn't take off or go into anything big like most of the first album. I hope it isnt a sign of things to come.

Justin - 6-2-2005 at 07:21 PM

I hope so too. :-)

I just want to say that we like seeing any and all points of view about these demos when we put them up; it's helpful.

All the best,
JMJ
p.s. Zelly Boo says what's up to all y'all
p.p.s. I need ice cream

JunoRedneck - 6-2-2005 at 07:28 PM

Then you should eat some ice cream, Justin. You deserve it :yes:

poobs - 6-2-2005 at 09:23 PM

I just had some ice cream..Mint Chocolate Chip..:D

imanodoubtaholic - 6-3-2005 at 12:42 AM

yeah i think it would be a cool bside.. maybe a cool live bside.. i could see this one being really fun live. maybe it could lead into something else. oooh i cant wait to hear more new stuff..

corkey16 - 6-3-2005 at 09:24 AM

Man, never knew Chick-Fil-A had good ice cream until now.:wow:

lomax - 6-10-2005 at 03:25 AM

i think it would make a b-side, but defo not on the album. can we hear any more new stuff?

poobs - 6-10-2005 at 06:56 AM

Check out the Releases and Recordings section..There's a link to their myspace page with a new demo..

7cut - 6-13-2005 at 05:01 AM

canīt resist the ice cream chit-chat .....had a semi-ice cream cake tiramisu yesterday. their is still half of it hanging out in our freezer..but not till long. canīt wait getting home. still like 5 hours. damn.

peeEss. donīt be fooled...tiramisu is by no means luxurious....itīs just the rules of attraction.


corkey16 - 6-13-2005 at 07:49 AM

Oh yeah. That's Italian ice cream cake.

yourearobot - 7-12-2005 at 08:18 AM

ima robot is amazing but this song sucks!

otroscomoyo - 7-15-2005 at 11:56 AM

hi people :)
i'm new in here and i've been looking into the forums, but i think i'll ask it here.

is ima robot about releasing a new album? well i don't now too much 'bout them... i've heard their ima robot album from 2003 and as far as i know it's the only one they've released. so... is there any info about new releases?

sorry from my bad english... actually i'm from spain :)

corkey16 - 7-15-2005 at 12:11 PM

Nice to meet you Otroscomoyo. Well, all we know here at imarobot.net is that they are now working on there new album which might be out in February of next year. There are more info about this in the news section. Your English is fine.:)

[Edited on 15-7-2005 by corkey16]

otroscomoyo - 7-16-2005 at 02:50 PM

wow, february! that's too much time, three years after their first album... but I just have found the downloads site and I'm donwloading lots of songs I didn't know... I just had their album, but there are lots of new songs! ^_^
thank you 'bout my english :P
I'm sure I'll have a nice time here :)

Evil - 7-16-2005 at 10:53 PM

I like your language more than mine.

7cut - 7-18-2005 at 02:07 AM

the eye of Gallagher....aaaaaaaaaah.
didnīt know there are people out there in love with Oasis AND ima robot....


otroscomoyo - 7-18-2005 at 03:23 AM

"didnīt know there are people out there in love with Oasis AND ima robot.... "

i guess this is good or bad :P whatever it may be, if you recognise liam's eye just by this photograph, you may know well him, so you like it :P
in fact, i listen to many different bands... oasis are just the very first band i ever listened to, so they're special to me :)
as far as i know, no one knows ima robot in spain, and its album is impossible to find in any store. i met them by playing the SSX3 game which has a great soundtrack.

by the way, some time ago i downloaded the album and noticed that some words in the songs were... distorted. by reading the lyrics, i discovered that it always happened with 'bad words' like 'f*ck' or 'dr*gs'.
the second time i downloaded it, these words were not distorted. ...is there some kind of 'censored edition' of the album?
i thought that the 'parental advisory' stick was enough, but maybe i'm wrong :lol:

german! i studied german for several years but i left it 'cos it was too hard for me :(
i was in munich six years ago, when the sun eclypse happened in 1999 :_)

i'm sorry, but i'm happy now that i can practise my english :$

[Edited on 18-7-2005 by otroscomoyo]

7cut - 7-18-2005 at 05:27 AM

yes, Munich....beautiful Monaco Di Baviera. I will shed a few tears when moving by the end of this year....*sigh* German is a difficult language, aber das wirst du ja selbst schon erfahren haben. honestly iīm not into Oasis so iīve grinned when they were beaten up in Munich like 2 years ago. brill story that was. mafia and all. wee, my copy of the album didnīt have a pa. sticker..... :no:

otroscomoyo - 7-19-2005 at 06:57 AM

yeah, i found by myself the answer to my question :lol:

it seems that there are two different editions of the album out there.

here it says "Ima Robot (edited)" and here it only says "Ima Robot".

if you click to preview songs, you can hear a little bit of them. as an example, if you click in the edited version of 'Song $1' here you hear:

Something takes
And something holds
And something breaks
The ******* mold!

but if you click in the original version here you hear perfectly they singing:

The fucking mold!

and, in fact, the original edition has the parental advisory add, when the censored edition hasn't it. so it seems that, 7cut, you have the censored edition? :P

ok, I just found this funny (and maybe I'm so bored), but it's hard for me to believe how hard the censorship can be sometimes :lol:

corkey16 - 7-19-2005 at 10:52 AM

Yep!!!:lol: That's one thing why I never buy cds from Wal-mart. They all have the edited versions.

Bear - 7-19-2005 at 11:20 AM

Wal-mart sucks. Ha you Americans.

otroscomoyo - 7-19-2005 at 11:57 AM

woha, so this is the usual? i've never heard about edited censored versions. here in spain everyone sings what they want, so if you don't like it, you just don't listen to it. but it doesn't matter 'couse all spanish music (but a minimal exception) sucks.
hehe, i'll be careful when i'm finally able to import the original album. i don't want f*cking censored editions! :lol:

corkey16 - 7-19-2005 at 12:37 PM

Yeah, censored album are for pussies!!! :lol: Or momma's boys.:duh:

7cut - 7-20-2005 at 01:21 AM

geez, when iīd been at that internet cafe lately i wanted to check party pictures of cobra snake and the computer wouldnīt let me open pictures for he titled it something with "fucking" in it and the computer thought it was explicit content whereas it was "fucking" as like "fucking great". and even if it had been explicit ...hey, so what iīm 22!!!!!


EtherSmoker - 7-28-2005 at 06:18 PM

at least the Second song w/ Ima Robot in it, try Here Come The Bombs, it's in the intro..... Damn, i wish i had a faster connection, here i am w/ dial-up *retches*
