Mother Gong are listed separately on PA under Psychedelic/Space Rock. Thumbs Up

^Indeed, and it would make sense to add her 'Mother' album as a prequel to their discography (noting that it was a Gilli solo album) as it predates the Mother Gong project by just one year (and possibly inspired the project name).  If nothing else just for the sake of completeness.

It was a real Chinese puzzle unravelling Gong's humungous discography recently, what with 57 albums released by multiple versions of the band, including....

Acid Mothers Gong
Daevid Allen's Gong
Gongmaison
Mother Gong
New York Gong
Pierre Moerlen's Gong
Planet Gong
Shamal Gong

This neatly summarises the Gong family I think.

^ I've never come across any albums by Paragong, seeing as this is the first I've heard of them. I wonder if they're Paragongs of virtue... Smile

I managed to find a couple of tracks from Paragong "Live '73" on YouTube, and here's one of them....

Paragong - Camembert Psilocybin Flashback


I like it! It sounds very psychedelic. Thumbs Up

Although it's probably not quite as suggestive as one of Caravan's later album titles. Wink

Ha yes - and as for girls growing plump in the night, I've often wondered what particular type of weight gain they were referring to!

... possibly not unrelated to Kenny Everett's character Cupid Stunt.

On a side note I have used the moniker 'Mike Hunt' on Twitter, and still do on various forums.

That's okay so long as you don't say it out loud, although you could say Michael Hunt and then it sounds perfectly innocent. Smile
