Tonto's Expanding Head Band's Zero Time at 55
Before Tangerine Dream, Paul Oakenfold or Ulrich Schauss there was Tonto’s Expanding Head Band. The duo of Malcolm Cecil and Robert Margouleff created the seminal electronic space album, Zero Time, in 1971. We celebrate this epic, but at the time underground release on its 55th anniversary on Echoes from PRX.

“Malcom”? Could you at least spell the man’s name correctly?
Also, “Margoleff”? Have some respect for these pioneers.
Well that’s almost embarrassing, but the coverage we gave this anniversary, group and album belies your idea that we had no “respect” for these pioneers. Did you see this covered anywhere else?
