I'm just getting really into Gong and now this! Crap, I hope they can somehow make a pilgrimage to North America. I want to see Allen before he kicks the bucket :( |

The celebrated psychedelic rock band, GONG, have today announced the world premiere of their brand new Japanese animated video “How To Stay Alive” – taken from their highly anticipated forthcoming new studio album “2032” (released 21st September). The video is a wonderful manga animation of Daevid Allen's drawings undertaken by the cutting edge Japanese Tokyo-based animation team “Mood Magic”, who were responsible for System 7's “Hinotori” video (2008). Click here to view the video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?gl=GB&v=Pw8ZESzpL3M In line with the “2032” album, the video pushes all the classic Gong buttons and mixes them with bang up to date sounds and video techniques. The track features a rap by Daevid Allen based around the characters of the illustrious Planet Gong mythology, which lent itself well to an animation of the drawings – and also features a beautiful solo at the end by original Gong member Didier Malherbe on the sax-like Armenian instrument the duduk. How To Stay Alive was composed by Daevid Allen, Steve Hillage, Mike Howlett and Chris Taylor and produced and mixed by Steve Hillage. After performing a series of successful summer festival gigs, Gong will embark on a nationwide 2032: The New Album: http://www.noblepr.co.uk/Press_Releases/gong/gong2032_album.htm Gong November |
