I found Cybotron - Colossus - Medusa on a compilation titled, "A Monstrous Psychedelic Bubble (Exploding In Your Mind) - The Wizards Of OZ - Compiled And Mixed By The Amorphous Androgynous" (although the track is mislabelled on that compilation). However, Cybotron are listed in PA under Progressive Electronic (an appropriate sub-genre for this particular track). ------------- No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands.

Pretty cool. Definitely worthy of the prog kingdom. The problem probably resulted in that it didn't fit in any particular team's subgenre. That is a weak point here at PA. Which team rejected it?

It's funny you should mention that, Dr Wu, because Fantasy's "Paint a Picture" album was the seventh album I reviewed here seven months ago, but reading back through my album review just now, it's an embarrassingly boring review to read through again, where I appeared to have had a sense-of-humour bypass and there's no real narrative flow to it either, so five stars for the superb album, but two stars for my poor review, or maybe I'm just being my own worst critic.

Mmh. Here it works. There's at least one other video with the original version, but that one doesn't work on my computer when I include it here, also it has a much worse sound quality. There are also a few live versions from the 2010s, apparently the band is touring again. If you're interested maybe search for "Lift Meeresfahrt" on youtube; I'm reluctant to replace a video that seems to work on this computer at least.

It's a whole album, but anyway. Taurus was a Danish band from the 70's who released this (their only) album in 1978. If I remember correctly it was produced by Finn Olafsson from Ache. Taurus later regrouped as the pop/rock band Tv-2, but that's another story. For some reason there is no stereo pan in the video clip. |

Yeah, I know. There's nothing prog-like about, say, Hoola Bandoola Band, but I think this particular Contact track has a bit of it. Sure, it's relatively straight forward in terms of song structure, but the sound ot it, f.e. with the organ... They have other songs with no prog elements though.
