DAEVID ALLEN    Gong but not forgotten: the magic and the madness of Daevid Allen (1938-2015). Broken Heart He comes from a land Down Under, where women glow and men chunder, but Daevid Allen is as firmly rooted in the Canterbury Scene as the Archbishop of Canterbury himself, having co-founded firstly Soft Machine and then Gong, with almost as many offshoots and branches of Gong as Barclays Bank. Smile

1979: Daevid Allen - N-existe pas!

This is a really interesting and good album. The song "333" is nicely spacey, "No Other than the Mother is My Song" is a great melodic composition in the Allen/Gong style, "The Turkeybirds Breakfast" captures Daevid's zany side, and "Non God Will Not Go On or the Wrong Way to be Right" (the best track, IMO) has a proggy groove similar to "Master Builder" from the album You.

OUCH, I LOVE all of these 3 albums, maybe not 5 star albums...but
 N-existe pas! 3 1/2 stars
Divided Alien Playbax 4 stars of not 4 1/2 !!!!!!
Seven Drones : Since i always falls asleep to this, it`s a 5 / 5 to me.......


And the "New" Gong is totally legit to me, I even prefer "Rejoice" / "The Universe..." to the very last with Daevid called "I See You" - but even that one is great !!!

Gongzilla
Planet Gong
Mother Gong
Daevid Allen`s Gong
Pierre Moerlen`s Gong
Mother Gong
Acid Mother Gong
New York Gong...........

Who cares !?!? All of this and more is so great !!!!!!

I remember Good Morning being released on CD in the late 80s on the Virgin label...along with Angel's Egg and You. If Good Morning had been re-released or remastered after that then I must have missed it. I haven't seen it being available since the late 80s. It's definitely my favorite along with Now Is The Happiest Time Of Your Life..which also seems to be out of print.
