VINYL FORMAT. It's been too long since anyone was able to bring this much soul and heartblood to progressive rock, a medium that has been left cold and dry by a misguided focus on technical show-offery. But by entangling the music they love - township blues, fringe jazz and renegade dub - into the DNA of prog, Blk Jks have provocatively pulled afro-futurism into a new century. After Robots has all the ingredients of a party record but this is not party music. It's at times disorienting and overwhelming, but it is always maintaining a cool, alluring mystique.

To discuss certain musical passages for which there is no accurate English befit to describe, Blk Jks seamlessly shifted from accented English to their differing tribal languages. Then - giving up on words altogether - they'd dive back into a fine-tuned performance of a song.

After Robots triumphs on its own strange set of genre-ending rules, and Blk Jks are undeniably a band of our times, embodying the duality of our violent and hopeful new world, these days of mystery and wonder.
