In 1974 , Simply Saucer recorded a demo tape of music under the supervision of Robert Lanois which combined Psychedelic , Krautrock and early Punk influences ( Syd Barrett , the Velvet Underground and Iggy Pop have often been cited as among the band's influences). The band broke up in 1979 , and their recording was not released until 1989 , when Bruce Mowat 's Mole label issued it under the title '' Cyborgs Revisited ''. It quickly became a favourite of alternative-rock figures such as Julian Cope and Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth , and Breau soon became a cult hero among 1970s record collectors. ''Cyborgs Revisited'' was first issued on CD in 1992, by the Chicago -based Fistpuppet label. A remastered edition, with additional material from the 1977-79 version of Simply Saucer, was issued in 2003 by Hamilton's Sonic Unyon label. In 2004 , Breau issued a solo album entitled '' Canadian Primitive ''. Recorded over a period of 14 years at Grant Avenue Studios in Hamilton, the album was generally described as Folk -psychedelia. He has rejected calls for a Simply Saucer reunion, though he has continued to work with Saucer bassist Kevin Christoff . Breau campaigned for the Legislative Assembly Of Ontario in the 1999 Ontario Provincial Election , somewhat improbably as a candidate of the right-wing, socially-conservative Family Coalition Party . He received 386 votes (1.16%) in Hamilton East , finishing well behind the winner, Dominic Agostino of the Liberal Party . |
