EXQUISITE MACHINES: BEDTIME FOR ROBOTS, EPISODE 6


As the winds turn cold and harsh, Michael Ferentino splashes the atmosphere with weird, nurturing warmth, making Bedtime for Robots' "Exquisite Machine: Episode 6" as unique as any installment that's come before and for those who've been waiting, a fulfilling grace.  


The ambiance here is similar to what one faced in Ferentino's  banned Halloween '19 special, escorting us into the ambivalent annals of our subconscious minds, where violence and serenity fasten the musical interludes. To accompany the wonders, we receive casual commentary (buffered by some retrospective views) of what Bedtime for Robots will grant in 2020. (Such will have Ferentino fans rejoicing yet salivating for more.)


The crafty, patchwork brilliance of Episode 6 makes it a Frankenstein of sorts (though perhaps this can be said of any "Exquisite Machines" entry), where each electrified, stitched limb adds to the body, creating a ferocious, audio/visual symbiosis. 


The culminating jive of Episode 6 also bestows a heavenly touch: ironic since its disturbances should rile more than pacify. But that's the genius of Ferentino. He always offers a brilliant blending of the varied best, exalting dark eccentricities in the most optimistic ways.
