Thanks, lb. That's the biggest jpeg I've ever seen.

And the biggest robotic pectorals to boot.

I have the flexi too, it came on Reflex magazine. I have the album too, but other than "All sewn up" (the track on the flexi), the only thing that I can remember is "If I only knew" that was covered by Tom Jones.

And yeah, "All sewn up" was fantastic.

I hated that band with a passion.

heh. because of this thread (and the basehead one) i pulled this album and play with toys out of the never listened to stacks and brought them along with me today. musically, Rise Robots Rise is much better than i remembered, although much of the rapping is painfully early nineties awful and there are some cringeworthy consolidatedish lyrics.

of course, the endless chain of association makes me wonder if i still have the braindead sound machine album i got at the same time, which i remember even less than these guys

I'm embarrased by how much I loved Consolidated. I was a big Meat Beat Manifesto fan at the time, who I still love. Some of Consolidated's beats I think probably hold up, but the rapping is so didactic. I know that's the point, but I don't think it's dated so well. At least with MBM Jack mostly only kinda raps, likewise Gary from Renegade Soundwave having his own way of "rapping", those both have dated better then stuff like Consolidated or Pop Will Eat Itself's "raps".

But Rise Robots Rise I remember their marketing, ads in Option or whatever, like they were some cutting edge cyberpunk band, but the music was too poppy and glossy for my tastes at the time.
