Hi Vince from Laneway Music. We are trying to contact Geoff to see if he is interested in talking to us about re releasing all the cybotron material through Laneway Music. Regards
Glad you like it. Both Steve and my dad now have new music out on Spotify as per the updated sub-titles. And, more recently, my father and I released a joint album - both our sophomore albums in terms of solo artists: Album 2. 22 Sides Of The Same Coin (Green/Green)
Hi all. I've added some captions to the Cybotron videos to ensure everyone is aware of the latest works of co-founders Steve Maxwell Von Braund and Geoff Green. I'll be keeping them there for the rest of 2023 as I think it provides a historical undertone, but happy to hear suggestions for a better way if too many people find the captions annoying. Also in the description, here are the links for both Braund and Green's latest works: Steve Maxwell Von Braund - Return To Monster Planet (2020) artist.sptfy.com/SteveMaxwell... Geoff Green - Exodus to Genesis (2022) artist.sptfy.com/GeoffGreen
It's very much of it's time. Don't forget Larks Tongues in Aspic by King Crimson came out in 73, Brain Salad Surgery by ELO same year. Fragile and Closer To The Edge 71 and 72 by Yes... Need I go on?
@@entropybentwhistle The whole list from Nurse With Wound's - Chance Meeting (where the most 'mainstream' gear on it is the likes of Zappa and Beefheart) will keep anyone going for a lifetime. Visitors, Art Bears, Henry Cow... Varese, Harry Parch, Mahavishnu Orchestra... Whaddya want from me, haha?
@@mausperson5854 Those were great records that defined the genre, no doubt. But today they sound like typical prog from the 70s. And this one, despite having many typical elements as well, sounds pretty modern. If it came out this year, It would fit naturally. While most of the 70s prog would not, with all due respect. That's what we call ahead of its time.
No, it's not ahead of its time, it's quite similar to what krautrock/space rock bands have been making back in the seventies. Still a wonderful track though.
WTF!!!!!!!!! HOW IS IT THAT I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS INCREDIBLE GROUP OF EXCELLENT MUSICIANS BEFORE!!!!!???????? THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
As much Prog and Electronica I grew up listening to, I don't understand how I never heard this before and why it even popped up on my RUclips feed this morning, but what an incredible gift! Thank you for posting and look forward to checking out more! Reminds me a little of StarCastle.
Like it and leave a comment. That's about all we can directly do. Drums did not sit well with early Kraftwerk but here it does. Krautrock/Prog/Early electronica drums are the best!
Hi all! (sorry, I’m writing through a translator). Once upon a time (about 15 years ago) I played the game GTA VC and began to look for the soundtrack for the game: there was an AMERICAN (?) group Cybotron with the track "Clear". And I found this Australian group with the same name here on RUclips, which I’m very happy about! This is a real treasure, especially when you not only listen to music, but also have videos from those years. Now I listen to it regularly and mentally return to the 70s.
This is crazy, I am in a band called one eyed god we formed in October 2011, our music would be described as instrumental space music, consist of drums bass guitar synths and saxophone, if these where more successful anyone would think we'd ripped them off! Even the flashing eye behind the band! Can't believe it
Keyboard player here, these guys were a local band when i was growing up. Saw them at a couple of gigs, festivals, then in the early 80's they played a few gigs at the local hotel near my college. Loved them! And of course, bought Colossus. ....now i can't stop buying synthesizers. Thanks for the memories and inspiration! ...and thanx for posting this!
@@truthhurts79 That's one of the most stupid statements I've ever heard. I hope you're just an idiot troll and aren't actually serious. Keyboards/synths are a huge part of this band. So if you don't like them, why the fuck are you even here?
"Going forward may not be the answer. Maybe I should go back." I was born in 1978 and I'm utterly dismayed with current "mainstream" muzak. This recommended video still sounds like The Future I never knew before.
I was born in 1979 and I remember a time when everyone was obsessed with the future. It seemed that we were already living in it, but it seemed to pass us by. Now we live in... a different future, not at all the one we imagined. And “that future” is left somewhere behind.
The other "Cybotron" was formed in 1981 that was Juan Atkins and fellow Washtenaw Community College student, Vietnam veteran Richard Davies. This Cybotron is a sequel to the cult 1975 Australian Space Rock album 'Monster Planet' by Steve Maxwell Von Braund. On the cusp of the 45th anniversary of the original release of Monster Planet, The Roundtable has again been granted privileged access to the Cybotron archives. To celebrate Record Store Day 2020 they compiled a compendium of "lost" tracks collected from 1974 to 1981, ranging from ARP synthesiser experiments to heady space rock to sophisticated electro-sounds of classic Cybotron. Return To Monster Planet offers a glimpse into the fascinating musical world of Steve Braund, one of the most marginalised yet singular artists to emerge from the golden (space) age of Australian music.
There are still a lot of people having it but today it's really hard to discover them, if you're not in more marketing and social network things you stay invisible. Bandcamp as plenty of creativity
killer. i first got into cybotron about 7 years ago, after trying very hard to find the vinyl, i found mp3s of the first two albums. that music changed my life as a musician. to finally see live footage is really incredible and im very grateful to be able to see this footage, thanks so much for sharing this, and tell your uncle that he's a huge influence on me.
Discovered this today. This is older than myself. But what a great shiny gem to be shared to the world! Fantastic music! I'll try to listen more. Really nice! Super hugs and love from México! 😻💐
I know I’m 16 years late to comment but as a kid who discovered electronic music back in the very early 80’s - DeoDaeto, Jean Michel, etc. and being a fellow Aussie, it warms my heart to know that Cybotron existed. Where were you Molly Meldrum? Why didn’t these guys paper on Countdow or Rage for that matter. Thank you for introducing me to them.
Stumbled upon a compilation album(cd) yesterday.. THE WIZARDS OF OZ(a monstrous psychedelic bubble exploding in your mind) . Some real gems on there!! This track is one of them!!
Thanks guys to all your comments. I just showed my dad (Geoff Green: keyboardist) the comments and he was really humbled. Cheers.
Hi Vince from Laneway Music. We are trying to contact Geoff to see if he is interested in talking to us about re releasing all the cybotron material through Laneway Music. Regards
Gods of Norse would have to be one of my fave Cybotron numbers ever. Great band, great sound.
@@bradwilliams7683 Thanks Brad :)
Would any reissues include the previously mentioned live set on the Split Enz tour??
I saw your dad and Cybertron playing a number of gigs in Melbourne tell your dad thanks for bloody great music of that time
How in the world is this just now coming up on my RUclips feed?! It’s been on here for 15 yrs, definitely one of the best hidden gems on RUclips!

I’m stoked on what I’m hearing! Thanks random algorithm
@@TREASUREHOUSEENTERPRISE Its lot older than 15 years.
Same here, That’s what I thought. Cybotron? Seeing the other video with the band playing (outside) is best video Ive seen long time

I am glad I ended up in that rabbit hole of 70s keyboard stuff
Hands down!!! This is sooo dope. I've sent the link to all my Kraut rock buddies!
This was ahead of its time.
Still is lowkey. 🔥🔥🔥
Actually this piece fits right in its time. Can't imagine to hear this no earlier nor later than in late 70s
@@granola6134exactly. sick of these ahead of the times bs....
No, This is exactly what the 70's was like.
It's currently 2024, christmas holidays, night time and this song somehow goes incredibly hard. Cheers to everyone. The algorithm brought me here.

This is great, and they definitely have a Hawkwind vibe going on.
I had to look to see that I am not the only one who heard the similarity. That sax!
We still love Space!
Yes, "Hawkwind"
WTF!!!!!!!!! HOW IS IT THAT I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS INCREDIBLE GROUP OF EXCELLENT MUSICIANS BEFORE!!!!!???????? THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

That's traversing universes right there.
Great stuff, this band is new to me, and I like it!
dood said I'm gonna play the sax, and make it sound kinda like a guitar. Genius. I feel it
This is awesome. Why haven't I heard of these guys before
RUclips Algorithm, I beg of you, bring this to the masses. The world needs to experience this Light.
It appears that your wish has been granted. It just showed up on my feed.

Spacemen 3, Add N to X, Air and now this share space in head...luckily there's a lot of room. Thanks for sharing!
There’s an 80’s electro group of the same name I think. That’s what I thought I was getting into, but this is good too 👌🏼
Right, thank you….i never knew there was another group with the same name?
The bumps in the tape make it even better gosh this is a blessing
Thought that too haha

Cybotron's "Clear" is such a classic! Newcleus "Computer Age (Push The Button)" is another great old-school track.
Really pleased to have found this on my feed. Awesome performance.! Similarities to.. Camel.. early Pink Floyd.. and Hawkwind.
That drummer is BEYOND talented…. Holy shiiiiiiiit. Hello from 2024.
Loving this band. Born in 63.
First I've heard of them 👍
Same - same age, big T-dream, Camel fan - never heard of Cybotron before today
Very cool stuff! That giant eyeball is ace and I want one for my garden
Praise the elders of the Internet to propose me this jewel in my electronic-progressive genre perferences.

Huge fan of Electro Industrial music. Can't help but think this was an origin point.
This is neither electro nor industrial 😅
@royalnonsuch New to the history of electro or industrial?🤣
i love them. My favorite LP Cybotron Cybotron.. Just for what it was, and could, and should have been.!
the most beautiful sound to ever travel through my ears and into my imagination and out of my brain into my bloodstream and into my heart
bravo.
What a gem. Thanks algorithm ❤️ Saved forever. I love this kind of thing 😍
Everything about this is amazing
It’s Roxy Music meets the Logan’s Run sound score.
Brilliant, hypnotising. Congrats to your dad
Welcome 2024’s new Disciples of Cybotron! 🤖👁️🤖👁️🤖
I think in my past life, Cybotron would most probably have been my favourite band coz it's one of my ultimate favourites now that I'm 23yrs
What a great band .... I consider them in the same level as most electro kraut bands of the time
Oh,for sure... never saw this till now.
Why am I only discovering this now, by serendipitous accident? An Australian Tangerine Dream...Amazing ... even with the sax ;)

Great track with a very strong prog rock feel to it, loved it!
Came across this track on the wizards of Oz album released around ten years ago. Best track on the album! Good to hear a live version!

musica para viajar con la mente...
Okaaaaaaaay. Definitely getting to know all their music now
Loving the prog era Soft Machine vibe on this track. Great job!
Wonderful sound! ❤️❤️❤️
Awesome clip! The keyboard player hitting a clunker right in the middle of the piece just adds to the charm-shit happens in live performance!
