Indeed, you have to discover that cosmic monument quickly. I think you'll like it more than Angel's egg.

I have to hear that album! I've only heard Angel's Egg and liked it despite I feel it hasn't clicked on me completely.

Wes Phillips is the man! In this Stereophile magazine article about a headphone amplifier, he quotes Gong/You!

"Mighty darn fine—grin-like-an-idiot fine, not to put too fine a point on it. I connected it to my iPod Mini with a Cardas 6" mini-to-mini connector, plugged in my beloved Etymotic ER-6S headphones, with their 48 ohm impedance, and fell completely into the pixilated world of Gong's You (CD, EMI 66552-2). I was plunged into the tale of Zero the hero as he journeyed through Planet Gong to the other side of the sky and . . . well, I guess you had to be there. But whether or not I can take you there, the SR-71 took me there, plunging me deep into Gong's swirling, trippy world, complete with synth washes, pixie voices, Mike Howlett's bass guitar, and Steve Hillage's incisive guitar histrionics. Ohhh yeahhhh."
