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?
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!
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.
It is a crime how marginalized this band and effort was and still is... PLEASE put these guys down in history, re-release all their albums and name check them amoungst the early electronic progressive greats.
WTF!!!!!!!!! HOW IS IT THAT I HAVE NEVER OF THIS INCREDIBLE GROUP OF EXCELLENT MUSICIANS BEFORE!!!!!???????? THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
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.
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
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!!
I see it's on Rocturnal...which rage Retro have started showing in January...my wish is that they can scrub this clip up and introduce this to a new generation
De hecho el Techno no se forma de este Progressive Rock de 1977 El Techno se forja más y directamente del EDM como las producciones electrónicas de Giorgio Moroder en 1977 😎.
Hey everyone! I noticed yesterday that Australia's youth, alternate station, Triple J, has listed Cybotron's most popular album, Colossus, on the shortlist of Australia's Top 100 albums. If you guys could take a little time and head to abc.net.au/triplej/hottest100/alltime/11/ and click C and vote 'Cybotron -Colossus', it would mean the world to me and my dad, Geoff Green. Cheers guys. Peace. x
i converted this video to mp3 so i could listen to it on my bicycle. this live version is pretty awesome! i had this in a playlist while i was walking in a tunnel and using a video camera. i am going to post it when it is done uploading but if you would like me to take it down let me know. i don't really approve of downloading for free but this live version is very cool! i do own the Colossus album on vinyl. if you want the video down just let me know thanks and have fun
@@shazzatpm happy upcoming birthday! link to the tunnel vid for Gods of Norse ruclips.net/video/VP4Ou910rUI/видео.html i'll be going out again soon. have fun
@@shazzatpm here is the first one ruclips.net/video/ZtFEm2K-nP8/видео.html the spots i checked last weekend were not really working. i can't guarantee that i can get the rest before the 24th(?) but happy 70th!
What synth is generating the siren sound? I recognize it from one of the live versions of Magnas De futura. Clearly a brilliant band this. Weird Ive never heard of them....
when i hear this iam thinking of those ITALIAN horror movies from this period! some little girl possessed with white eyes! spittin out cream corn vomit!! or some satanic monk rippin his toungue out while being impaled! todays horror movies should have this eerie type vibe! none of that crappy hood hop shit playing in the background!
Thanks guys to all your comments. I just showed my dad (Geoff Green: keyboardist) the comments and he was really humbled. Cheers.

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
Listening to this in 2024 and beyond, the music of the future.
Glad you like it. Both Steve and my dad now have new music out on Spotify as per the updated sub-titles.

Also, I''m more than happy to hear from other members/related to other members if they, too, have new works out. All members deserve to be celebrated.
Hi, the links are broken (page not found). Are they dead, or is there something wrong with the server?
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.
AlgoRYTHM brought me here.
Praise the elders of the Internet to propose me this jewel in my electronic-progressive genre perferences.
That's exactly what I'm missing today, the passion for creating music. Thank you for that.
Spacemen 3, Add N to X, Air and now this share space in head...luckily there's a lot of room. Thanks for sharing!
This was way, way, way ahead of it's time. Utterly fantastic 😊

A Binson and a Space Echo!?
That's traversing universes right there.
Great stuff, this band is new to me, and I like it!
This is great, and they definitely have a Hawkwind vibe going on.
Wow, I don't know how I've never heard of these guys but my whole concept about Australian electronica has just gone out the window
Very cool stuff! That giant eyeball is ace and I want one for my garden

3:45 ❤
Que Pérola!!!
Nunca imaginei que um dia, eu iria ver um vídeo do Cybotron.
Grata surpresa.
What a great band .... I consider them in the same level as most electro kraut bands of the time
The bumps in the tape make it even better gosh this is a blessing
Thought that too haha
Excellent sax work on this. Loved it❤🔥⚡
It is a crime how marginalized this band and effort was and still is... PLEASE put these guys down in history, re-release all their albums and name check them amoungst the early electronic progressive greats.
Справедливо! 👍🏻
Exelente,pena que nao existem mais! E muito viajante !!!
i love them. My favorite LP Cybotron Cybotron.. Just for what it was, and could, and should have been.!
dood said I'm gonna play the sax, and make it sound kinda like a guitar. Genius. I feel 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!
Loving this band. Born in 63.
First I've heard of them 👍
Why am I only discovering this now, by serendipitous accident? An Australian Tangerine Dream...Amazing ... even with the sax ;)
WTF!!!!!!!!! HOW IS IT THAT I HAVE NEVER OF THIS INCREDIBLE GROUP OF EXCELLENT MUSICIANS BEFORE!!!!!???????? THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Удивительно что в юности пропустил эту группу.
Спасибо вам за это видео, начну собирать их в свою коллекцию!
I subscribed. Thanks for sharing this, and kudos to your dad for being such a keyboard wizz

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.
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
great stuff , took me 40 years to discover this lot aswell ,now must find the vinyl

Love discovering old, but new to me prog bands. Reminds me of a cross between ELP and Van see Graff Generator.
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!!
Wow, that was awesome and amazing!
This hit my algorithm just in time. Hello from the future.
🙂↕️😊
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!
Been lookin for a copy of this album for years (at a reasonable price), and still haven't found one. One day.......
Fantástico!
Great drummer, excellent use of period-perfect synths, I love the saxophone, I just dig this shit ALL THE WAY!!!
Everything about this is amazing
I see it's on Rocturnal...which rage Retro have started showing in January...my wish is that they can scrub this clip up and introduce this to a new generation
Drummer is epic....
2 People were lasered by the power-eye above the band...
Eye love it.
These brothers knew what's up ~
one of my absolute favorites, brilliant stuff
Came here for Detroit Techno.. but this is good too!
De hecho el Techno no se forma de este Progressive Rock de 1977

Yes
Maravilloso. I love it
magico!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here's to those who came before us ❤️🍻
Such power!
Magnífico !!!
the farther you go back, the more real it gets
Kannte ich noch nicht. Eine geile Nummer👍
Hey, you need to be rewarded for placing this here. I mean it. This is Superb, man.
Many, many thanks
ciao!
I’m not a big fan of 1970s and 80s music but for some reason this one is kind of funky and cool and it’s only weird way. I can kinda dig it
What unked rag-tag syzygy has bamboozled the algorithm and brought me here?
The hidden half which still roots for mankind's eternally cosmic and divine soul.
🎶👂🎶🎶
SPECTACULAR
Must see. Thank for upload.
All of this is awesome, but that drummer especially is kicking my ass :) The synth sounds are so futuristic too. I wonder what it is about them
Progressive Rock de 1977.
I had this album way back when.
The pulsating eye 👁
I love the Big Eye.
Yes Cybotron 2 The Next Generation… Must hear more trippy music… ☮🔥
Ok so there's TWO groups called Cybotron?!
blackdragon6 add a jungle producer named Dillinja who has releases under Cybotron alias as well :)
This one was first.
@@systemlfo and best ;-)
Amazing
Beautiful
CLEAR
this is just what I wanna hear
Wow, this was a decent find.
SAX only enhances the awesomeness
Also that change at 7:33 was awesome
superb!!!
Out there, way, way out there. As in, wtf is out there? The answer's to questions you never even asked. Wow.
It’s Roxy Music meets the Logan’s Run sound score.

This is damn good.
Drummer looks like Tom from The Chemical Brothers while wearing Keith Flints Fire Starter jumper 😂
😂funny
Buscando música etérica o de otros planetas, me hallé con esta obra maestra, uff.
What synth is generating the siren sound? I recognize it from one of the live versions of Magnas De futura. Clearly a brilliant band this. Weird Ive never heard of them....
I was wondering the same thing. I can´t recognize any of the keyboards used. By the sound I would say... Oberheim?
like this more than the album version... shame they only have the one live album.
Fucking awesome concept of music.
when i hear this iam thinking of those ITALIAN horror movies from this period! some little girl possessed with white eyes! spittin out cream corn vomit!! or some satanic monk rippin his toungue out while being impaled! todays horror movies should have this eerie type vibe! none of that crappy hood hop shit playing in the background!
Is this the same Cybotron that made "Clear" and Cosmic Car"
big roland sound
🤘👽👍
WOW!!!
I just downloaded Colossus from iTunes store - so tell your dad thanks from me!
Floyd comes in other colors beside Pink?
It's a yes from me
All seeing 👁️
