A nice video about mushrooms, or so my young daughter tells me. Please make of it what you will. My apologies for the poor synchronisation at times.My first attempt. Practice makes perfect they say...
A nice video about mushrooms, or so my young daughter tells me. Please make of it what you will. My apologies for the poor synchronisation at times.My first attempt. Practice makes perfect they say and the sand is in the eyes of the deceiver. Let's hope so ! Thanks to Tom Salter at StonewallStudios in Canada for inspiring me to give it a try.
On 18th March 2007 I received the following message from Malcolm Cecil ;
TONTO's Expanding Head Band "ZEROTIME" - available again Hi, Malcolm Cecil from TONTO's Expanding Head Band here.
Thank you for your comment on the Analog Dreams -1 video. It is much appreciated - We just found Youtube so we are newbies and are catching up with what's been happening. Very cool.
"CYBERNAUT" was my very first first electronic music composition (back in 1969) - it's a mind blower to find it actually cybernauting almost 30 years later!
btw- our music as available again on CD. If you are interested, contact: tontocd@hvc.rr.com
I personally remastered this CD from the original Head Band analog master tapes and the pressings were manufactured in the UK. IMHO this is the best TONTO has sounded - EVER!!
We released it to commemorate the Head Band's live performance at the BIG CHILL in August 2006 - it's a LIMITED EDITION (1000 pressings only)
Titles include all tracks from the 1971 LP, ZERO TIME,and all tracks (except "Beautiful You") from the 1975 LP "IT'S ABOUT TIME", as well as a never before released bonus track ("Bittersweet").
Most of them were sold at the festival, but we stall have a few copies left and we don't plan on repressing them.
Thanx again for your support and particularly for recognizing our music and telling everyone about "Cybernaut" - very much appreciated!

I first heard this in the movie "Acapulco Gold" which was a documentary about marijuana smuggling in the 70's. This song was playing during the footage of the film maker walking through a marijuana field in Mexico. I was wondering "they had common synthesizer music like this in the early 70's?" then looked up the song during the credits. Tonto is pretty amazing for it's time.
First heard THE while walking along Portobello Road in London in the seventies, went in the shop, asked who was playing and went away and bought the LP. Great stuff.
@Anyone4music - Actually, it was all done using an expanded series 3 Moog synthesiser. Or possibly several of them. No mellotrons, and definitely no Hammonds.
Loved hearinf Tonto's Expanding Head Band again. I, too, listened to "The Night Bird" in NYC. Ah, Columbia at 3:00 a.m. - the best memories ever. The video's a great comment on time.
