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
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
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)
WTF!!!!!!!!! HOW IS IT THAT I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS INCREDIBLE GROUP OF EXCELLENT MUSICIANS BEFORE!!!!!???????? THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
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.
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 TH-cam 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 TH-cam, 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.
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
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
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.
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! 😻💐
At 3:08 the drummer makes a mistake on the snare. This actually adds something for me. Because of the skill and talent that it takes to learn an instrument, as opposed to programming a drum machine. The millisecond differences where a drummer rushes or drags a beat are perceptible to us humans and what gives music it’s ’feel.’ Too much of modern music is sterilized by either programming, or ‘correcting’ a track. It’s making musicians stupider, as well as the listening audience.
😮 no cabe duda que nunca ahí que perder la capacidad de sorprenderse que maravilloso antes de Kraftwerk y antes que tomita y varios más estos son los abuelos de la música 🎵 electrónica que maravilloso
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

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.

This hit my algorithm just in time. Hello from the future.
🙂↕️😊
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"
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
WTF!!!!!!!!! HOW IS IT THAT I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS INCREDIBLE GROUP OF EXCELLENT MUSICIANS BEFORE!!!!!???????? THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Srsly I had to check the date to see if it was AI.

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?
dood said I'm gonna play the sax, and make it sound kinda like a guitar. Genius. I feel it
A Binson and a Space Echo!?
That's traversing universes right there.
Great stuff, this band is new to me, and I like it!
Spacemen 3, Add N to X, Air and now this share space in head...luckily there's a lot of room. Thanks for sharing!

Cybotron's "Clear" is such a classic! Newcleus "Computer Age (Push The Button)" is another great old-school track.

Same - same age, big T-dream, Camel fan - never heard of Cybotron before today

Is the other Cybotron the ones who made Clear?
@@thevirtualmixtapeyes

This is awesome. Why haven't I heard of these guys before
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?🤣
Que Pérola!!!
Nunca imaginei que um dia, eu iria ver um vídeo do Cybotron.
Grata surpresa.
3:45 ❤
Those are things I really dearly miss about the analog age, little quirks that enhance by accident :)

Справедливо! 👍🏻
i love them. My favorite LP Cybotron Cybotron.. Just for what it was, and could, and should have been.!
Brilliant, hypnotising. Congrats to your dad
WOW 🔥🔥🔥 Rockin!!!! We love it!!!!
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.
Everything about this is amazing
It’s Roxy Music meets the Logan’s Run sound score.
Why am I only discovering this now, by serendipitous accident? An Australian Tangerine Dream...Amazing ... even with the sax ;)
I’m mind blown by what I just watched, and at the same time, what the hell did I just watch?! 😂
This has just randomly popped up in my feed, absolutely brilliant!!!
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.

Wow... really great! I'm very happy to have listen this band! 🔥🔥🔥🔥💓
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
This is awesome
Great track with a very strong prog rock feel to it, loved it!

Been lookin for a copy of this album for years (at a reasonable price), and still haven't found one. One day.......
This song is beyond awesome
This is soooo bad ass.I wish they had some posters or something.This is a time capsule with something cool inside
Hot dang this is fire. The drums and electrical thing has emerged and re emerged. This is pure fire as the kids say. Just itching for a remix !!
I subscribed. Thanks for sharing this, and kudos to your dad for being such a keyboard wizz
Amazing band!! Greetings from Ecuador!!
Wow, that was awesome and amazing!
I really liked the piece. I suprized I never heard of this act before
