	I can;t stand Gilly Smith, I think she detracted enormously from that band -- her space whisper is just irritating to me I much prefer the fusion Gong (so not GonG) of 1976-onward, led by Pierre Morelen both Expresso II and Downwind are great fusion albums Flying Teapot is my favorite Allen era Gong record

	I have only heard You, Shamal, Gazeuse and Expresso II, and I like those albums a lot. Especially Gazeuse. Brilliant musicians on all 4 albums too.

	I have recently been introduced to Gong. I have the albums 'Flying Teapot' and 'You' and I have to say i'm really starting to like them. They are VERY wierd, The lyrics! And some of those spacey vocals! To me they sound like what syd barrett would have been had he not gone mad, Something from the original 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' movie, And a touch of Soft Machine of course! Anyway i'm listening to them now and I would like to know what people think of them, And the albums I mentioned. Are there many Gong fans here??? Edited by Winter Wine
