"Recorded in the same year as their landmark debut, Sunday Night at the Total Theatre sees Cybotron's core Steve Braund and Geoff Green hypnotise a theatre of attentive space cadets with otherworldly drones and a chugging beat. I feel a rather romantic connection with this private press given that it was performed on a Sunday eve in Melbourne, just like our weekly radio show 30+ years later. Parallel worlds converge when transmitted on the FM airwaves. Unfortunately not the easiest piece to find from the Cybotron catalogue, the LP was apparently given away at a subsequent concert. Those were the days. Recently I had the pleasure of interviewing Ian MacFarlane who played in a later incarnation of the live Cybotron experience and also made three brilliant long playing tapestries of kooky solo synth miniatures. He shared some interesting insight into why the band were such pioneers of their era. You can hear that here: http://www.noiseinmyhead.com.au/index.php?/archive-2011/161011-w-ron-morelliian-macfarlane/"
Thanks a lot Michael!

Very exciting!
I listened to two songs of michael "noise in my head," it's too good, I can not wait to hear the band "Cybotron".

Great post!!
Hi, my name is Jorge and I recently published on Zeronoize netlabel an EP entitled "Ad nutum" with the pseudonym of Satisfacción Lab, the style could be described as a cross between musique concrete, noise, tape music and dark psychedelia. If you want, you can download, listen it and if you are convinced, it would be great to be on your blog.

Thank you very much!!!
Thanks for the Cybotron ... and, since you're feeling forgetful ... I hope you haven't forgotten the Nightcrawlers upload.
Thanks.
Dave
Hi Dave, to be honest I don't even know what you're referring to. I don't own a single Nightcrawlers LP that I might rip and upload. sad but true. Cheers!

elwood.

@elwood: i pass thanks to michael ; )
@ jorge : sorry for messing with your name
Basso:
Re: my Nightcrawlers comment ... it referred to the comment on the Sept. 13 post of Space Walk. But I double checked and it was Gianni (Cesare), not you, who said he had a couple of Nightcrawlers rarities.
Sorry for the miscommunication and thanks for the great music.
Dave
Phew! I thought I'd have to buy some to post it....
thanks good stuff
Hi Basso - any chance of a re-up for this rare piece of Cybotron? Keep up the great work.
Hi Basso - any chance of a re-up of the live Cybotron?
hi bikeboy, I can't reup, because I've lost a HD with most of the things downloaded from blogs or uploaded to blogs. please inquire at Michael at "Noise in my head". He should still have it as it has been his discovery and his rip. same goes for all of Gianni a.k.a Cesare Barbetta's rips on the growing bin.
Cheers, Basso
