Planet GONG vs. KOBAIA

Where would you prefer to live? (sorry about the silliness of this thread, but anyway...) 

Without considering the musical quality and difference of the two bands (Gong (Allen era) and Magma), would you then prefer to live on the green planet Gong, where there is nothing but fun, joy and happiness, fly around in teapots together with small friendly minded green Pot Head Pixies, and legally smoke pot and worry about nothing? Or would you rather prefer to live among spiritually enlightened people, who see themselves in spirit and intellect so above regular earth people and to daily praise the great prophet Nebëhr Gudahtt and devote your life to the great Kreühn Köhrman, which one presumable does on the planet Kobaia?

As much as I adore the music of Magma, planet Gong simply sounds like more fun….

Not quite sure you are right about that, I'm sitting here with the vinyl issue of the first Magma record, in which it says: "...par delá l'espace et le temps nous attend une planéte, KOBAIA..." And the second disc is entitled "Le decouverte de Kobaia" I belive the language is called some thing like "Kobaian" as Blasquiz says at the Concert de REIMS from 1976 "...kobaian, notre propre langue" while introducing Köhntarkösz...

It surely isn't, to appreciate the musical splendour of Magma is far more important

Kobaia is the planet you reach when you've attained the highest level of consciousness on Planet Gong.

When people talk about prog concepts, it's almost never mentioned that two French based prog bands were releasing sequences of concept albums about imaginary planets at the same time in the 1970s. What are the chances of that happening?

neither uchhh but probably Planet Gong
