  • Cybotron was an electronic/experimental music band from Australia 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, Henry Vyhnal and Jim Keays 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. All albums were remastered for CD by Mark Woods in September 2002. In 2002, member Geoff Green announced that Cybotron may be re-recording. As of 2006, progress has come to a halt. Green and Braund remain good friends.
