Gong - You - line up

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   On the line-up for Gong's You, we have the following...

- Daevid Allen / vocals, glissando guitar

- Mireille Bauer / percussion

- Tim Blake / Moog & EMS synths, Mellotron

- Steve Hillage / lead guitar

- Mike Howlett / bass guitar 

- Didier Malherbe / saxes, flute, vocals 

- Benoît Moerlen / percussion

- Pierre Moerlen / drums, percussion 

- Gilli Smyth / wee voices, chorus

- Shakti Yoni / poem & space whispers
the album itself lists the last two as

 - Shakti Yoni / Poems and Space Whisper
 - Bambaloni Yoni /  Wee Voices & Chourousings
...now I was under the impression that Shakti Yoni was Gilli Smyth and Bamboloni Yoni was Miquette Giraudy - (could any Gong experts correct me if I've got that wrong)

so shouldn't our version of the line up read as:

- Miquette Giraudy / wee voices, chorus

- Gilli Smyth  / poem & space whispers

	Yep, Miquette Grady is Bambaloni and Gilli is Shakti.
	Trendsetter win! The search for nonexistent perfection.

	And there's more. I have a vinyl edition of the record. Daevid Allen is listed here as Dingo Virgin, whereas Didier Malherbe is named Bloomdido Glad de Brass.
