  Cybotron - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cybotron was an electro group formed in 1980 by Juan Atkins and Richard "3070" Davis in Detroit, Michigan.
Cybotron were inspired by European synthesizer pioneers Kraftwerk and literary influences such as Alvin Toffler's book entitled "Future Shock." Soon after the release of the album in 1985, Atkins left the group due to artistic differences (To many fans of Detroit Techno, Cybotron ended its run when Atkins left).

This was Cybotron's purple patch, building from Kraftwerk's electronic grid and the alienation of UK Electro to redraw the map of their blasted city.

 MILESAGO - Groups & Solo Artists - Cybotron
Although pioneering electronic outfit Cybotron emerged at the pointy end of MILESAGO’s “charter” during ‘74-’75, we can’t resist documenting and claiming them as one of the first (if not the first) examples of fledgling electronic trip-rock that later blossomed with the likes of Ollie Olsen’s various projects in a similar vein.
The “mind-expanding brain food” offered by that debut release continued with the formation of Cybotron during 1976, and the ensemble went on to create some marvellously challenging aural soundscapes.
In early 2002 Geoff Green reoprted that Cybotron is back in action and recording with Gil Mathews.

 Juan Atkins - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
At Washtenaw Community College, Atkins met Rick Davis, with whom he recorded under the name Cybotron.
Atkins coined the term techno to describe their music, taking as one inspiration the works of futurist and author Alvin Toffler, from whom he borrowed the terms "cybotron" and "metroplex".
Atkins has used the term techno to describe earlier bands that made heavy use of synthesizers such as Kraftwerk, although many people would consider Kraftwerks music and Juan's early music in Cybotron as Electro.

Cybotron's Clear introduced the groove-driven elements of what is now considered classic techno.
In the cycle of music, it seems fitting that (2005 MTV VMA Winner) Missy Elliott's Lose Control, is fabricated on the 808 groove and synth textures in a sample loop of Cybotron's Clear.
The early works of Atkins' Cybotron and Model 500 show distinct influence from the innovators of electronic music, Kraftwerk, and contemporaries like Afrika Bambaataa, but with groove-oriented elements prompted by the technology of Roland instruments.

 The History of Rock Music. Juan Atkins: biography, discography, reviews, links
Juan Atkins, a Detroit disc jockey (born 1962) who started spinning in 1979, coined the term "techno" to define the high-tech funk of Cybotron, his joint project with Rick Davis.
When very few people were paying attention, Cybotron was producing singles such as Alleys Of Your Mind (Deep Space, 1981) and Cosmic Cars (1982) that were changing the concept of dance music.
In 1988 Atkins, May and Saunderson traveled for the first time to Britain and Atkins was invited to play in front of a huge crowd at one of the open-air events, so called "raves".

 Armchair DJ: Music Review: Cybotron: Interface and Clear   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
But after one listen to the music of Cybotron, it becomes clear that the proto-techno of Juan Atkins and Rick Davies was very much the music of the present when it emerged from the Motor City in the early 1980s.
New wave, funk and electro-pop influences collided in the work of these early Detroit pioneers, but with little of the seamless integration and outright mutation that would mark the eventual birth of techno proper.
The catholic tastes of legendary radio DJ the Electrifying Mojo did much to shape Cybotron's musical parameters, but first-time listeners might be a little shocked to hear echoes of the Cars and Peter Gabriel here alongside the more obvious parallels with Kraftwerk and the Human League.

 Juan Atkins
And though it's often difficult (and misleading) to pick the precise genesis for any style of music, the easiest choice for techno is an Atkins release, the 1982 electro track "Clear," recorded by Atkins and Rick Davis as Cybotron.
The two began recording as Cybotron and released their first single, "Alleys of Your Mind," in 1981 on their own Deep Space Records.
The clever balance of urban groove and synthesizer futurism signaled the new electro wave in fl music; though crossover success for electro was quite limited, it went on to become one of the most influential styles for the new electronic music of the next decade.

Cybotron's fusion of Kraftwerk and Public Image Ltd. was never lost or frustratingly inaccessible, a superior sequence of electronic optimism and increasingly common concerns of a mega-sterile future.

 >>WANTICKETS.COM DJ // Juan Atkins
He soon left the progressively album-oriented Cybotron to begin working alone, and released his most seminal material from 1985 to 1989 as Model 500.
And while fellow Detroit legends Kevin Saunderson and Derrick May were known for their erratic output during the following decade, Atkins recorded much more during the 1990s than he had during the '80s, soaking up new rhythmic elements from contemporary dance music but keeping his unerring, instantly recognizable sense of melody intact throughout.
Atkins visited the label's studio in 1993 and worked with 3MB, the in-house production team of Thomas Fehlmann and Moritz Von Oswald (both of whom were to go on to better things, in Sun Electric and Basic Channel/Maurizio, respectively).

I think maybe half of them referred to their music as "techno." However, the public really wasn't ready for it until about '85 or '86.
The Third Wave was only inspirational, although we did use hybrid words like "cybotron" and "metroplex," and Toffler spoke of these futuristic combinations.

On "Never", the only vocal track that really cuts it, Cybotron's cyborg worldview is given flesh and blood feeling by Lorreia Loushy's siren-like vocal against chilling staccato strings.
When the visceral cacophony takes control, dispelling the ghastly apparition of plastic soul, listening to Cybotron is an awe-inspiring experience.
