Down in the Park - either the original Gary Numan version of the Foo Fighters cover. Come to think of it, lots of Gary Numan songs could probably work. ---

Dismantled - [Armed and Ready](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000X6TA2U/ref=dm_mu_dp_trk1) Front Line Assembly- tons, but mostly the Hard Wired album ([Circuitry](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQj-syygshQ) is a good example) and also the track [Search and Destroy](http://www.amazon.com/Search-And-Destroy-Album-Version/dp/B0011ZP2LU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1274139926&sr=1-1) from the Millennium album. Most of their catalog is basically a musical sci-fi movie. ---

Obligatory link to [Muse’s “Supermassive Black Hole” live at Wembley Stadium](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tugqHunwDA&feature=related) (with the funky marching CGI robots on the big screens). Although the lyrics themselves have no robot references, Matt’s XY screen solo is itself very futuristic and high-techy. ---
