Love Tractor helped to establish the college town of Athens, Georgia as a mecca of alternative music in the early '80s along with luminaries like R.E.M., the B-52's, and Pylon. Comprising guitarist Michael Richmond, multi-instrumentalist Armistead Wellford, drummer Kit Schwartz, and guitarist Mark Cline, the band's earliest material was instrumental, if for no other reason than that they could not afford a PA system. However, the approach set them clearly apart from other acts on the crowded Athens scene, and helped win them a deal with DB Records. 1982's Love Tractor documented their formative approach, which touched heavily on fusion and even cocktail music. By their 1983 follow-up Around the Bend, Richmond was taking the occasional stab at singing; after the 1984 EP 'Til the Cows Come Home, Love Tractor resurfaced in 1987 with This Ain't No Outerspace Ship , a full vocal exercise which also found the group tackling a cover of the Gap Band's "Party Train." The quartet enlisted Mitch Easter to produce 1989's Themes From Venus, which, while comprised largely of vocal tracks, did contain the instrumental "Nova Express," effectively bringing the Love Tractor story full circle. Accordingly, in 1991 the group decided to take a break from the music business; they reformed periodically, and began writing and performing new material for a projected album. During their hiatus, Wellford played in Gutterball with Steve Wynn, Bob Rupe, Sparklehourse, and the House of Freaks. Cline travelled, studying Italian opera and ancient languages, while Richmond studied art history. After several failed attempts at completing their "comeback" album, Love Tractor returned in 2001 with the sublime The Sky At Night, creating a much stronger band idendity in the process, made up of their own unique mix of pop, ambient, prog, space- and college-rock. The band continued their newfound creative surge in the first decade of the 21st century, by issuing several excellent albums, like 2005s Black Hole and Green Winter one year later.
