| Velvet Darkness was released without Allan's permission so I shouldn't vote for it. But it has no votes sooo. |

Hillage easily but there are three others that need to be mentioned that have no votes right now. There's a lot of great albums here Paul, thankyou for this. Gongzilla is such an amazing album with Holdsworth on several tracks. Shamal might be better than that one with Hillage on a few songs. Fairy Tales is a different animal but my appreciation for it is very high, the runnerup here. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

Fish Rising is my go-to album when I've listened my way through the Camenbert-You quartet and want to stay in that mode. But Shamal is up there among my favorite spiritual jazz (fusion) albums. A transitional album that's perfect for what it is. Never before or after was the sound of Gong so drop dead gorgeous (Nick Mason did a great job with this). |

That Yello Bananas song is too bananas even for me. I think they're probably overripe bananas that are past their sell-by date.

Magick Brother is easily the best from that list. I think it might be my overall favourite album by Gong. Honourable mentions to Bananamoon, New York Gong and the Acid Mothers collaboration.

| This list is chock-full of fantastic albums. I'll vote for the criminally underrated Bloom, but Shamal, Fish Rising, and Gazeuse! would all have deserved a vote. |
