Bio
.. Cybotron was formed in 1975 by Steve Maxwell Von Braund and Geoff Green, after the release of Braund's 1975 album, Monster Planet which Green, as well as Gil Matthews (Billy Thorpe and the Aztecs), Henry Vyhnal and Jim Keays (The Masters Apprentices) contributed to. Some songs from this album were later added to the re-released CD, Cybotron... Cybotron released a self-titled album in 1976 containing mainly synthesizers and saxophone. Stylistically, Cybotron were similar to their contemporaries; innovative bands such as Ash Ra Tempel, Hawkwind and Tangerine Dream... They were creating minimalist, repetitive electronica at the same time that Kraftwerk released Autobahn. Throughout subsequent decades, their music received very little recognition from those outside electronic music circles. However, the popularity at the time must be pointed out, with any fan of electronica during their period of time, a fan of Cybotron... This MySpace is run by Geoff Green's son, Shannon Green. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..
