SUPERB PIONEERING ELECTRONIC WORK - ONCE PLAYED
TONTO'S EXPANDING HEAD BANDZero Time
UK ATLANTIC (SUPER 2400150 ) 1971 FIRST PRESSING OF ONE OF THE PIONEERING WORKS OF PROG ELECTRONIC MUSIC, "Zero Time"
THE BRAINCHILD OF Malcolm Cecil and Robert Margouleff , WORKING AS TONTO'S EXPANDING HEAD BAND
SUPERB COPY- SEEN LITTLE (if any) PLAY WITH BEAUTIFULLY CLEAN SOUND - THE FINEST COPY I'VE HEARD
In 1969, engineers Malcolm Cecil and Robert Margouleff worked with synthesizer pioneer Robert Moog to develop additional modules for the centrepiece unit of Moog's keyboard empire. The result was T.O.N.T.O. -- the Original New Timbral Orchestra. Built into a collection of gently curving wooden cases, T.O.N.T.O. became the world's largest Moog synthesizer.
While Robert Moog headed into the development of the Mini-Moog, Cecil and Margouleff took their baby onto the studio circuit, providing Moog elements for a bewildering variety of album projects and film soundtracks.
In 1971, Cecil and Margouleff set out to record on their own, under the name of T.O.N.T.O.'s Expanding Head Band.
The album Zero Time was a revolutionary piece of work that set out to explore the capabilities of the synthesizer with no regard for conceptions of pop success.
Zero Time is still considered to be a turning point in the use of synthesizers in contemporary music.
