...love, while the strings and jangly guitars plod along behind him. The backing singing and round at the end is sublime; this is definitely one to get stuck in your head. The test is over........NOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW! exclaims the voice, and with that we meet.... 2. One More Robot/Sympathy 3000-21: After the kerfuffle of Fight Test, in fades a lone, heavily distorted, erm, something to quietly introduce track two. And yet another beautiful melody, this time less sraining on the ears but equally bizarre! One More Robot discusses the ability of a robot to feel emotions like those experienced by man, i.e. love, pain etc. but is so gorgeous and honest it almost has you believing it!
