I remember seeing them live here in Perth in I guess the mid/late80's and they seemed quite electronic based, tape decks, keyboards , I seem to remember Quasimodo dream album being fairly electronic pop?

Yea, fair call - Quasimodo's Dream is quite electronic.

 

I sort of remember them starting off almost like an early Split Enz type of quirky rock and ending up as the K-tel lullaby band

They didn't "end up" like that. I seem to recall that they released an album of love songs on K-Tel but it was on purpose. That included a cover of Bacharachs This guy's in love with you. which was both cheesy and superb.

I guess you have to do that when the old man is an elected conservative politician.

I think you're not giving Dave Mason the credit he is due. The "Beautiful" album was a product of his wry sense of parody. It turned out to be a terrific album though.

@unclemack No disagreement from me there, just highlighting the irony in jest. Think of the whole situation concerning his position juxtaposed against his father's. Young Mr Mason took advantage of it brilliantly.

Hi all

 

Not to forget Steve Maxwell Von Braund - Monster Planet

 

He was a big fan of Klaus Schulze and Edgar Froese, and early 70's 'Kraut Rock', Tangerine Dream, Neu, Can, Amon Duul II.

Tangerine Dream, doco showing at upcoming MIFF

< The definitive portrait of the German synth-rockers whose inimitable sound defined 80s cinema – and inspired the music of Stranger Things.

For almost 50 years, Edgar Froese, the mastermind behind Tangerine Dream, made music fit for the space age. A master of the Moog synthesiser (and a whole lot more besides), Froese and a rotating cast of sonic adventurers created a dizzying sequence of albums and film soundtracks that serve as one of the great surveys of the history of electronic music. From Risky Business to Sorcerer to Grand Theft Auto V, Tangerine Dream charted a course through the outer limits of recorded audio, and in doing so changed the face of popular music forever.

Filled with never-before-seen archival footage – including remarkable glimpses of their 1970s Australian tour – Revolution of Sound is filmmaker Margarete Kreuzer's tripped-out tribute to Froese, who died in 2015, and the incredible music he created. Told through interviews with Tangerine Dream's many, many band members and collaborators such as Jean-Michael Jarre, Michael Mann and Paul Brickman, Revolution of Sound is the definitive document of one of the least heralded, most important bands of the 20th century. >

Robert Goodge, "co conspirator" with David Chesworth in Essendon Airport went on to I'm Talking and is currently working on re releasing many of their tunes. He was also involved in the Filthy Lucre remix of Yothu Yindi's Treaty Now

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_(song)

sad to hear of Dr G Yunupingu's untimely passing, he was origilally a member of Yothu Yindi

Robert has also worked with Stephen Cummings in more recent years.
