How big is the file?
Sorry for not having the patience to go through the rapidshare teasers.

about 9 MB, sorry for using rapidshare if its incovenient. I let the attachment thing load for like 15 minutes and decided it was being stubborn. Is there any better way to do this?

Welcome to our music community and sometimes rather strange little forum, Horazonblade. Read on to see how strange it can be.
The song loaded properly on my Mac with Firefox - it started playing while loading so I didn't have to wait.
I have been up all night programming an artificial intelligence song-learning program in ChucK with limited success, so robots are on my mind this morning.
I liked the title of "Robot Love", so I listened creatively and here are my thoughts: If you use your imagination (a lot), you could suppose that this song is representative of two sentient robots in love. I'm not sure about robot lifestyles and gender or manufacturer choice, but these two robots are happy with each other. The spacey sounds indicate that they are space-travelling robots, and the guitar feedback is indicative of the silicon-based electronic interaction that the robots enjoy as only sentient robots can. It is more like robot agape love, but has a component of robot lust near the end where it jams a bit like Jimi Hendrix's "Foxy Lady" performance. Then later it gets into a more mellow jam representing the robots' life together in harmony.
OK, I'm trying to be funny but that's really what I wrote while listening to the song, so there is your review. It's a pretty good robot song overall. Next you can expand the series by creating "Robots in Lust.mp3" followed by "Robot Gangsta.mp3" and "Robot Rock.mp3". Make a robot album and use the profits to develop sentient robots that create music all day for you.
Joking aside, I enjoyed parts of it more than others. Though good enough for a listen, it could be reworked better to become a song that I wouldn't mind adding to my iTunes collection. I'd put it right next to Mr. Roboto by Styx. Domo Aregato, Mr. Roboto.

p.s. As you can see from the above, almost anything goes on electro-music.com, just don't tell Blue Hell that his transistors are losing their beta. He's touchy about that.

What do you mean ... what didn't I notice, I /am/ touchy 
The good thing about debugging a timeout of 5 minutes is that one can type into forum ... especially when it has a bug 
ok back to work now.

I will be honest, that was not the kind of response I expected! I was laughing pretty hard though once i realized your tone behind it.
Honestly, the story you said was pretty accurate to what I was going for except instead of space traveling, it was more of an idea of openness like the internet and data just flying back and forth, with a sexual robot vibe. And yea the ending (after the jimibot climaxes *in musical terms*  and does a couple seconds of falling down and pretending to continue for a few more ) it goes into a harmonious little ditty to show that peaceful bliss even though I am playing it starting with a minor chord.
So what parts did you like or didn't like? I am looking for suggestions on improvement or feelings (including your own take on the story)
Edit:
Also, what is a G2 patch?

Won't tell you how to improve (that's your job ) just that I like the track you posted, thanks!
A G2 patch is a patch for the Clavia Nord Modular G2 synth.

Hah fair enough, thanks though, I've gone through it with a couple guitar players and most of them don't really like it at all. Positive reviews on my first ever song, I really do appreciate ya'll for listening and commenting. Honestly though, anything you don't like I'd like to hear. I'm not very knowing on "outside of the box" style music just that I like making it apparently. |

I'm glad that you enjoyed my warped sense of humor, it was intended to get a laugh or two. I cannot comment from an expert's perspective since I am so inexperienced at music generally, but for my taste the song is slow and loses my attention. It's kind of long and it's a good light jam for relaxing if that's what you like but I prefer more of a rock-style to most of my music. I'd make the guitar more prominent especially in the beginning where the buildup is slow, I guess. Really it's just fine as it is, but it's not my preferred style. Do another one with some more energy to it and you'll hit the charts on the robot circuit. Unfortunately robots never buy music, they just train their neural nets to repeat and enhance the song over and over again. You just can't get rich writing music for robots, oh well.
Actually, a wiser comment might be: "Follow your inspiration, do what you want."
