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." To read the whole article: http://www.stereophile.com/headphones/905ray/ - http://www.stereophile.com/headphones/905ray/ |

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.

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