I once went on a camping trip and a load of us sat in a tent and we had to go round saying which famous person everyone looked like. Mine was Will Carling (ex-England rugby captain, for those who don't know). Can't see it myself.

Is there any "progg-look" at all really? I gues that some people look
metal, some peolple hippie?, and somepeople cindof ordinary right?



I think prog look is 70's like, quite hippie or dandy, depending on your taste:

 ...difficult for me to take seriously the music and the imaginary of the band

That's something I don't understand, Philippe; they are very much like early Krautrock.


BaldJean and I; I am the one in blue.

huuumm...well I've already discussed about it with someone on this site (Olivier where are you???), my answer can be short: this tribe of funny guys (gong) plays a music wich gives a large part to humour and hippie like instincts! What I like from krautrock is the mystical, esoteric, obscure, abstract, weird side of this music...it's not for nothing that my favorite albums of the genre are the first Mythos, Paternoster, Limbus 4...

I'm quite sure you wouldn't say that if you understood some of the German lyrics; a lot of Krautrock is just as ridiculous and funny as Gong

surely it is! an evident exemple is the following one: EROC on his album "Zwei" makes pueril, comic recitations despite that the music is really emotional, sometimes grave. However when I speak about krautrock I refer to the music and the way it sounds.

however it's right, I don't understand "German"

I think ther's too much joy, humor, lightness in Gong's music for your taste. You like the dark side of Krautrock; (although Popol vuh is luminous but "dusty" enough for you).
I find Gong to be mystical and esoteric...(look at the gong lyrics at the end of my messages.)but joyfull at the same time.

Let's discuss on a technical view:
What's lake in Gong's music for you?

"I think ther's too much joy, humor, lightness in Gong's music for your taste"

^ yes, sure!!

the two first Popol Vuh are absolutely not light and luminous but really austere and esoteric. scary, creepy Moog sounds and tribal percussions..."tantric songs" is also mysterious and sometimes dark. Ho no...not now Olivier, don't say that Gong have something to do with mysticism and esoterism (re-listen "D" and "Aum" by Deuter and you will see the difference).

you perfectly know that I won't give up and tell you that I like Gong

Every taste is in the nature, isn't it?

I know you won't give up, and you have the right to dislike Gong, i'm just trying to understand why.

Excepting the Popol vuh beggining, their best period is joyful and medidative, but not dark.

Tell me what's wrong in a piece like "Sprinkling of clouds" on YOU.
