I saw ELO on their Out Of The Blue album tour, with the big space ship stage set and an incredible guitarist named Steve Hillage was the opening act. Never had heard of him but he was incredible. From there, I started exploring back and found Gong. From that I found Soft Machine and the whole Canterbury scene and fell in love with all of it and remain a fan to this day. Dan was perceptive to mention the word jazz as Gong was steeped in psychedelic jazz but still get lumped into the prog world mostly due to their live act and bizarre lifestyles lol. After the next album, most of the hippies jumped ship and Gong became a full on jazz band for a few years until Daevid Allen returned to run the good ship Gong until he died.
OK I remember these guys from a video link you posted on Discord a little while ago. They were playing in the Montserrat monastery in the midst of a surreal landscape. Damn dirty hippies! LOL! Definitely a unique blend of rock, jazz, and psychedelic chemicals. 👍✌
@@shoutinchuck3363 That's them!
From 1973, I love these guys. Formed by Daevid Allen of Soft Machine in 1967 after he was denied entry back into the UK for 3 years due to visa issues.
Prog/space/psychedelic rock.. I saw these for the first time in 73 and was the first time I'd heard Steve Hillage and have liked him ever since.
Love the style of this song. It's playful, fun, scatty yet still interesting musically.
Think it was Mark Byers who made the original suggestion, so well done for that Mark.
saw these guys 3 times in the 9os when they regrouped always a lot of fun
Great pick Mark, Enjoyed it.
thanks@@shoutinchuck3363

"Bong"?!! Kind of appropriate... The band was full of Pot Headed Pixies after all...
I'm not sure that as an Aussie, knowing Daevid Allen was also originally from the Land Down Under before tootling on off to "the mother land" is something I can bask in knowing, though I can definitely say that once I heard Gong's music for the first time, in the early 70's (my 5yr older brother introduced me to their music) I basked in it's awesomeness and it's embracing of musicians not on where they came from, but what they added to the musical goodness; which is what their music represents to me, with it's overtones of Eastern mysticism, French jazz, English rock and folk melodies, Aussie whimsy and mockery of seriousness that takes itself way too seriously, wrapped up in musical talent. Simple really!! 😯😂
In the seventies I got into Gong because of all the marimbas and vibraphones. And then thos friend came up and said he found an old Gong record, which turned out to be a triple LP live, and they had this kind of stuff on it which was hilarious.
I live in South Africa and in 1974 my mother was on holiday in London. I asked her to buy this album for me from the original Virgin record shop in Ladbroke Grove. It's a cool album
Wonderful underground band spanning decades with various lineups. Big in UK and EU for us 70’s kids along with Hawkwind, Caravan, John Martyn and US artists like Zappa, Santana and Steely Dan. Check out the album Camembert Electrique for better understanding. Pothead pixies is where it’s at.
Gong is a cool band and this is off of my favorite album of theirs.
Angel's Egg.Like most of the Gong catalogue !!
I've been lucky enough to see these guys a few times with original members but also the Post Daevid Allen lineup.
Try Planet Gong "Stoned Innocent Frankenstein" for a completely different side.
You guys have to listen to "Shamal" from their 1975 eponymous album. Groovy and trippy long instrumental track.
Love Gong. The singular band I've wanted to see for several dozen years and (so far) never have.
Whimsical, absurdist, evocative psychedelic jazz-rock fusion…and it doesn’t hit you at first how demanding this music is to play. There is no template for Gong. They have covered a WIDE range of styles and lineups, and they’re still active today. No original members left, but a pedigreed lineage from ‘71 to the present.
This was part of a trilogy of early Gong albums, in which Daevid Allen expressed his…ethos(?) Cosmic outlook(?)
Definitely have to listen to GONG as a whole a collective
not just one song off of the album
Amazing music
Love Gong
Gong for the win!
Mad as hell but superb musicians. Love Gong and Steve Hillage
Gong are amazing. Still is to a slightly lesser extent but man... my pal Kavus Torabi is keeping it alive in fine form since Daevid Allen passed the torch. Keep going! Saw them in Salisbury at a Cardiacs get-together. Master Builder blew my face off! This album is meant to played start to finish IMO.
The absolute best track on the album by a long way is "The Isle Of Everywhere", followed closely by "A Sprinkling Of Clouds".
those are from the you l.p.
@@markbyers1651 But they are absolutely amazing!
yes indeed@@Jack-D-Ripper
