This album will always be part of my DNA - I absorbed it as a teenager on wind caressed autumn evenings drinking stolen wine and taking mushrooms whilst inhaling the smell of freshly ploughed Midlands fields. Fast forward 30 years and I can still be found near my Dartmoor home picking September psylocybin to last the year, low damp mists, droplets of dew hanging from sheep horns, loamy leaf mould hiding black beetles and tin ore, Gong on the 1210s when I get home, children's laughter and a loving wife rolling carefully grown green.All is good in the world 😍
yeah you cant beat the analogue vinyl experience this band are in my dna as well.ive seen them live many many times rip daevid allen & gilly.great memories & when that needle drops on my lp,s im right there reliving their finest moments as they intended it to be heard great post fine lp peace.
there was a very early version of Gong. Some members with Daevid and Gilli were on a related album around 1968 and very very obscure... about 100 copies pressed... a double album... called Princess Moonflower or something... It's recorded in a Paris apartment a line up that will be unfamiliar to most of us. Ps- there's even some film footage of them on here at the Ville Grille. They included a stunning, tripped out, beauty called Ziska Baum, who has been credited with originating the 'space whisper'
I discovered this album when I was 16 and living in the middle of nowheresville Pennsylvania… it blew my mind and I’m forever thankful to Daevid Allen…
Greetings magic brother, welcome mystic sister. Let us drink from the well of higher consciousness all the way out here in 2024, just a little stop on the transdimensional highway to 2033. Here we dwell amongst the glowing family of light beings, mother gong. :)
bought this album from daevid himself and in person.when it just came out this show changed my life and way of thinking as well as my musical inclinations
Saw Daevid Allen Live in Stoke on Trent & he was AMAZING & got 2 shake his hand plus had his Autograph ✍️ R.I.P Daevid Allen ( Dingo Virgin) 🙏🏼🕉🕉🕉 🌛✨👍🏼
all the gong and gong related stuff here and now for you on you tube to enjoy so enjoy your trip round the wherever and we shall meet up sometime somewhere on this crazy planet.
I found this on the Actuel label while looking for free jazz albums. An accidental discovery for which I am grateful. I found the Art Ensemble of Chicago and Sun Ra as well. Discount Records in Cambridge!
yeah im a fan of both sun ra & the art ensemble de chicago great bands they make original music how they wanted to make it & are both highly original.sun ra created the first electric piano in the 50,s the ensemble did a great tune i play a lot called theme de yo yo with great vocals & blinding horn.s very much in the exceptional coltrane tonal attack.great music & gong ive seen so many times ive lost count lol great post peace...
@@djbigleg3228 Theme de YoYo sung by Lester Bowie's then wife-Fontella Bass. She scored a hit record in the U.S. with "Rescue Me"! I was actually lucky enough to meet and talk with Sun Ra in 1973 and met some of the AACM (Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians) in 1974-Richard Abrams, Steve McCall, Henry Threadgill, Leroy Jenkins, Sirone--when I was at University of Massachusetts in Amherst. Saw Sun Ra a few times. Saw the Art Ensemble around 1979 I think! Fantastic show-So many saxophones and clarinets!!!
@@garygomesvedicastrology yeah i couldnt remember her name sorry fontella bass i was looking for the lp & gonna update my comment.but she was a great singer & if you want real music culture you cant go wrong with these bands.you might not get what your expecting though lol.but you were lucky to have met & witnessed such great musicians.i lost some great live art ensemble gigs on you tube they were blocked sadly & it could have brought the label many new sales.but i guess they dont think about that & they automatically block so much stuff today its sad.because the full story of these bands remains untold to many who basically dont know it even exists because it constantly gets blocked,great post nice talking to you peace...

nice one for posting the original recording i heard a reissue with loads missing & it sounds much better than listening to it posted from an sacd. great post & fine band ive seen many times live they had many line ups but along the journey they created some great & amazing original grooves rip daevid & gilly peace...
the last time i saw gong was in 1995 with the full original line up at glastonbury the 25th anniversary it was a magical gig.but they were always a great live band gong live etc 2lp set is great as well.really sad to know daevid & gilly are gone but they lived the dream & made a lot of people happy respect peace...
As good and as proficient as the Gnome trilogy was, these early records stand apart and tower over them. This one, the masterpiece Camembert Electrique, Bananamoon and Obsolete are about all one needs.
Amazing thing done without the synthesizers of Tim Blake which came later, thus much more raw and basic yet trippy at the same time. Not knocking Tim. or the later albums though. i love em all. Banana Moon and Camembert Electrique, were also somewhat raw but excellent music. Daevid like Frank Zappa with the Mothers, never wanted Gong to become stagnant, hence the frequent lineup changes. Kept Gong from being stuck in a rut.
@@warmswarm i love it jesus highness christ its great & what did gong do to offend you & your moral belief,s please enlighten us ???.i think god would have them play a concert for him free of charge of course & congratulate them for being true to their art form.after all real music has a spiritual connection to the universe peace...
if youre crazy about this band like i am, this is when the curtains first raise on the big show i could revisit a million times and wouldn’t mind doing so.

Didier Malherbe, ultra-cool clarinet, and sax.

The cover shown is a 1977 reissue. The music remains awesome though. Probably their best LP.

Hare Hare Krishna!!
I got to know him in early 90s and his light still shines brightly in my ❤️
Rest in Peace Daevid Allen
The mushrooms are hearing this too, through me.
"Better late than never " ...
Best memory of this was playing it loud and my mum suddenly deciding this was great to exercise and stretch to!
the best..just the best ..earth and heaven in an endless Dance
Goodbye Gilli ... Hope you'll meet Daevid on the Gong planet !
She left him,,, and he still came thru for her
I grew up listening to this album.

Mine is on the BYG Record label
Being already a Soft Machine freak, i went Nutz looking for these in miami.

Try *Gongzilla* if you can find it. Bon Lozaga..
If you look closely, his guitar had a #13 on it, and he passed on March 13,just a coincidence? or synchronicity in action?
twilight zone stuff here
Themroc Rocthem 1970 the beginn of so many
Excuse me, Cambridge, Massachusetts! For a while, they were my favorite record store!
Daevid eternity!!
GONG NICE ALBUM 👌😃

Thank you but can you make it better
song titles ?, anyone ?
Take a look
After you've listened to the other albums this is bordering on unlistenable to me.
I don't like the jangly optimism so much, it's hard to take for a grumpy punk like me, but it's growing on me a bit because of all the CHAOS.
I think also, they just got a lot better at writing interesting songs.
Jesus is Lord - Well maybe you shouldn't listen to it then.
