Tonto’s Expanding Head Band ‎– Zero Time

Out of stock

$15.00

“Zero Time is one of the first — and perhaps best of — all electronic albums. Robert Margouleff and Malcolm Cecil, under the alias of T.O.N.T.O.’s Expanding Head Band, created this analog marvel on T.O.N.T.O. — “The Original New Timbral Orchestra.” The pristine synth washes are crisp and clear. Margouleff and Cecil forged a new sound with a digital feeling. Oddly, this instrument was embraced and used extensively by Motown artists. Steve Hillage used it on Motivation Radio, and Devo used it quite often. (Cecil produced and engineered a number of their albums.) The rest of the rock & roll community ignored it. For historical purposes, this rare and collectible album is essential. For musical integrity, it still stands the test of time and is essential” – allmusic
