"In order to be more creative in the titles I have, I would give some good qualification to this title. Cybotron is a great electronic-progressive group from Australia that deserves more audience in the world. Get they music!"

Space rock to the square

"It's surprising, amazing how tough and heavy synthesizer based rock can get! Although "Colossus" is easily labelled prog rock, it's best imagined as the "space" feel of JM Jarre, Schulze, Kitaro, Telomere and consorts shifted into power-laden rock. These guys have the focus and harness that Tangerine Dream always lost too fast on the tracks of "Stratosfear", "White Eagle" etc. The downside is that they're a bit _too_ forward, that they sometimes get over the top, pathetic, pompous - occasional sparkles of introversion a la Camel would have provided a better balance."

Out of it beats

"You know I wanted to dis these guys for having the same name as my favourite Detroit electro group, but then I came across this record in a second hand store and had a listen. Man it's pretty cool. Kinda like Hawkwind without the guitars. Definitly worth a listen"
