Don't Kill The Robot
Methusalem, an 80's Krautrock & Disco outfit did one album as far as I can tell, called 'Journey Into The Unknown'. Two tracks from this German, 1980, release on Ariola have found themselves being resurrected and given the re-rub; most recently their track 'Zombie' found it's way onto the very cool Supersound label (a brilliant bunch who pushed out no less than 20 fantastic cosmic and disco, limited edition items last year.) Today's post however is the Automan re-edit of Methusalem's proto house track 'Robotism' off the 10th 12" in the Automan series. 'Cosmic' and House meet here in perfect harmony, along with a great bumpy groove and some creamy 'robotic' vocoders. Innovative tracks like this make it plainly obvious where House music went wrong in recent years.

I heard Automan 16 last week and it knocked my socks off. Fuck knows what it was though as the guy who played it ain't telling.
Hey Marc - Automan 16 is Arapadys - 'Monkey Star' and Hott City's 'Feelin Love' - i blogged 'Feelin Love' awhile back, but its probably the Arapadys you're talkin about - very cool track!!! ill record it for u, so u can see if it's the one...
