Genuinely fascinating stuff!
-Besides Wakeman, T Dream and Earthstar are only original users of the machine
Has anyone any idea whether the tangs ever recorded with theirs and if so, on what?
-Only known classic era recordings to feature Birotron are:
Earthstar - Human's Only (+ another I can't recall the name of)
Three albums in total: 'French Skyline', 'Atomkraft? Nein, Danke!' and 'Humans Only'. See my reviews at:

mid 1990's commercial recordings (Dave Kean's Birotron)

- Eleni Mandell (self titled?)
So that's the source of that one!
- Dave Kean's track "Lift" from Rime of the Ancient Sampler
Never noticed that one before - plays a Chamby, too.
