THE TIDE OF THE CENTURY

Well, well, well... What have you done, Tim Blake... And where are you now, Hi Ti Moonweed, GONG's synth wizard, a superb performer and composer, one of the founders of the band's unique sound? No more space magik. An experienced listener can find nothing exiting and intriguing on this album, just the banal techno of a rather mediocre quality accompanied with an inexpressive vocal. Only the title track could smooth the general (negative) impression - you can hear a reminiscence of GONG era in Blake's electronic passages. The rest stuff is simply not worth to listen by prog heads. Better have fun with Radio Gnome Trilogy one more time!

Flee. One star only. Sorry...
