The Official Gong thread

Dr Know wrote: I was thinking about getting some Gong this week. The guy at the shop showed me the CD cover of Acid Motherhood which looked completely hideous. Well I shouldn?t judge a book by it?s cover I suppose but that cover was just too much!

I thought that album cover was awesome, A pregnant Daeved Allen is straight from the land of the pothead pixies! its a good album too, great throw back the radio gnome era while remaining quite contemporary (*see the manipulated GW Bush samples) Kawabata Makoto and Allen are kindred spirits,

Gong is one of my favourites... I think that "Radio Gnome", "Flying Teapot" and "You" are three of most awsome albums that I ever heard... Psychedelic, ironic, joyful, amazing arrangements... all you can ask to any band you can find it in these albums and in Gong's career mostly... Ah! His live album is awsome too...

Anyway I also like Pierre Moerlen's Gong and Daevid Allen, Shaktu, Tim Blake and Steve Hillage solo careers...

BUT YOU CAN'T KIIIIIIIILLLL MEEEEEE!!!

i really like the trilogy , camemberte electrique and floating anarchy ,
Even magik brother is good. I havent got any of their other albums
though. It does seem like the production of their records wasnt great
quality though which is a bit of a shame. I like the humour and style of
their music despite its "cosmik" sound it seems very down to earth and
lacking pretence that other bands often have. GREAT STUFF.
