Haven't heard the Gong one. On The Corner is mind-blowing, but no vote...

| I didn't think the choice would be this hard...I'll go Gong, but it might've been Miles on another day. |

Hardly listened to the Gong one, but Miles Davis is a genius and On the Corner is in my top three of his. Love all the handclaps and the whole ornery vibe to it.

certainly 'on the corner'. gazuese is OK as far as slick fusion albums go, whereas on the corner is superb. i cant decide whether i prefer it to 'get up with it' or not |

^^^^ I did, hard or not! Gazeuse has a very soft (hehehe) spot for me. Nostalgic , you see! ------------- I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth. |

Much as I like PM's GonG, it's got to be Miles this time - no contest. ------------- 'Like so many of you I've got my doubts about how much to contribute to the already rich among us...' Robert Wyatt, Gloria Gloom |

| PM's Gong's use of tuned percussion sets them aside from most fusion groups (other than Stomu Yamashta) and made them more worthwhile than Soft Machine's dreary mid-seventies fusion bands, but i still think their nothing to what gong had been doing just a few years earlier |

Gazeuse! (aka Expresso) was my first Gong album. Heard it back in the late '70's or early '80's. Got On The Corner in 2001.
