	MILESAGO - Groups & Solo Artists - Daevid Allen
		Daevid Allen is one of the most intruiging musicians to emerge from Australia in the late 20th century.
		Daevid gravitated to music and poetry in his teens, one of the many young Australians who were captivated by the Beat Movement, rock'n'roll, folk and modern jazz -- innovations that emerged in the 1950s and which offered an exciting and radical alternative to the mundane mainstream culture and social conformity of Menzies-era Australia.
		Daevid and Gilli headed off to Spain after the album was finished, so Hillage, Blake and Malherbe formed an interim band called "Paragong" with expatriate Aussie bassist Mike Howlett (ex-The Affair) and French drummer Pierre Moerlen, and they toured under that name until Daevid and Gilli returned.

	Daevid Allen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Daevid Allen (born Christopher David Allen, January 13, 1938 in Melbourne, Australia) is an Australian poet, guitarist, singer, composer and performance artist best known as co-founder of the psychedelic rock groups Soft Machine (in the UK, 1966) and Gong (in France, 1970).
		Allen travelled to England, renting a room in Canterbury where he met his landlord’s son, 16 year old Robert Wyatt.
		Allen left this incarnation of Gong and formed Planet Gong, followed by New York Gong in 1980 (with Bill Laswell).

	Rock Ahead: CD Album: Daevid Allen & Gong - World Of - 3 disc boxed set 1970-1980 (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Daevid of course was a founder member of Soft Machine in the sixties and on returning to England following a concert date in Europe found he was refused entry back into the UK.
		Moving back to France Daevid spent his time well and the upshot was the formation of Gong.
		As I have already said this album is a fine introduction to the sometimes strange but never boring world of Daevid Allen and Gong and in the case of the first two discs in this set amounts to virtually a best of with a bonus disc of rarities.

		In France, Allen and Smyth formed the first incarnation of Gong in 1967, a largely improvisational, loosely-knit combo that included, at various times, Don Cherry (trumpet), Loren Standlee (flute) and Daniel Laloux, who was wont to play (among other things) a bass drum with cello strings attached, while reciting the texts of Victor Hugo.
		Although Daevid Allen's heart was not really in it, Gong then proceeded to make what is arguably their best album, and one of space rock fusion's true masterpieces, You (released 1974).
		Allen was heavily into tape loop experiments as well, and one of his first and best efforts is included here, "Gongwash Indelible".

		Here Daevid Allen and his wife Gilli Smyth (who wrote most of the material on the album) are still finding themselves on the straighter, more pop-oriented side of psychedelia.
		Daevid Allen (who left the band shortly after the album's release) later recalled the recording session 'it was just a wonderful, wonderful trip and we all played and played and played.
		Led by Daevid Allen and Gilli Smyth, Gong's debut album presented their spiked vision of "The Kingdom of the Pothead Pixies" into truly illustrious fashion.

		The basis for Allen's inclusion in a list of contemporary 'jazz-fusion' artists could be the work recorded over the years with Gong, a band which has always had space at its center for improvisational work.
		However Allen was not content with their direction for long, and on breaking up with partner Smyth he transferred his activities to New York.
		The story of Daevid Allen is the tale of a life lead in tenacious adherence to ideals of what are often considered 'hippie visionary', but are also a reflection of a desire to go beyond goals of personal glory or financial success: 'I've always had a very particular conception of music.

	Daevid Allen's University of Errors - "Money Doesn't Make It"
		A chance meeting between Gong's Daevid Allen and the members of Mushroom led to the entirely spontaneous formation of 'The University of Errors.' Literally days later, the tracks archived on "Money Doesn't Make It" were recorded, and now less than a year later we can all enjoy the results of this synergistic pairing.
		The mixing of Daevid's unique word-play compositions with the improvisational genius of Mushroom's core members has produced a fine work of art, but one that also has a message and a heaping of sly humor.
		Daevid (it doesn't seem right calling him 'Allen') wasn't blessed with the world's best singing voice, but here he puts on quite an excellent vocal performance.

		Daevid Allen's flights of fancy and cheerful hippie proselytizing have given birth to projects as diverse as the progressive rock of Gong as well as naturalistic solo works such as Good Morning.
		As with Gong, Allen plays his cosmic-effected "glissando" guitar, and he calls on girlfriend Gillie Smyth for her signature "space whisper." Additionally, he employs an unknown Spanish group called Euterpe.
		Allen doesn't strive for profundity, and in so doing creates a work filled with humility and charm.

	The History And The Mystery Of The Planet Gong (Site not responding. Last check: )
		With the acceptance of Soft Machine by the English audiences, Daevid brought the evolution over revolution concept to Paris in the wake of the student riots and founded together with feminist poet Gilli Smyth one of the first spiritual rock communities near Fontainbleu in 1980.
		Daevid Allen, after 30 years of unflagging creativity, demonstates a mystic/philosophical artistic influence that is stronger than ever, and his latest music and poetry is as fresh and innovative as his first.
		Though he prefers to remain relatively unknown in his country, Daevid is widely loved and appreciated by his faithful fans across America, U.K. and Europe for his absurdist/self satirizing humour and his compassion for the human condition.

		After recording just one album with the group, he became the founder/leader of Gong, which he left in 1973 to begin a solo career (though his first solo album, Banana Moon, was released in 1971 while he was still in the group).
		Allen explored his quirky, folky take on rock throughout the '70s and '80s on albums like 1976's Good Morning and 1983's Alien in New York.
		In 2003 Allen formed a new version of Gong with members of the Japanese collective known as Acid Mothers Temple, as well as playing and releasing material with his California-based band University of Errors.

	The Ectophiles' Guide to Good Music - Daevid Allen (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Daevid Allen and Gilli Smith have been the primary (but not sole) movers of the Gong phenomena.
		Daevid's music is most easily characterizable as "unpredictable" perhaps because they have really disconnected from "normal" causality into some "other" logic.
		Early '70s gong was doing the progressive rock thing (they are all amazing musicians), sort of like King Crimson on 10 doses of acid.

	Good Morning - Daevid Allen
		Daevid Allen's flights of fancy and cheerful hippie proselytizing have given birth to projects as diverse as the progressive rock of Gong as well as naturalistic solo works such as Good Morning.
		Good Morning is more acoustic, with no drums, and was recorded on a four-track tape machine at Allen's Majorcan home, "Bananamoon Observatory." As with Gong, Allen plays his cosmic-effected "glissando" guitar, and he calls on girlfriend Gilli Smyth for her signature "space whisper." Additionally, he employs an unknown Spanish group called Euterpe.
		Side one is the quiet, poetic side, whereas side two comes closest to Gong, with the moody 11-minute "Wise Man in Your Heart." Where previously Allen leaned on the compositional skills of Smyth, Christian Tritsch, and others, all of the songs on this record were written by Allen.

	Ground and Sky review - Daevid Allen & The Magick Brothers - Live at the Witchwood 1991
		A pared-down, predominantly acoustic set with Gong founder and leader Daevid Allen, joined by comrades Mark Robson (Kangaroo Moon) and Graham Clark (Gongmaison).
		Plenty of pot-head pixie dust to go around, with a fair share of early solo Allen and Gong oldies, countered by more the secular concerns of "Trial by Headline" (nothing too surprising, though, if you are at all familiar with Allen's anarchic leanings) and a few originals by Robson.
		Though it's not a bad album, unless you are a full-fledged Allen nut you could probably put this one in the rearview mirror without too much regret.

	Australia Aquaria - Daevid Allen - Song Listings
		Widely (and deservedly) regarded as the album that confirmed Daevid Allen's return to action at the end of his somewhat disheveled 1980s, Australia Aquaria is also the record that reaffirmed his own faith in the sounds and textures that made his earliest Gong work so fabulous.
		Rich in melody and sentiment (the gentle "She" is all but a universal love song) and drenched in moods that swing from ethereal to majestic, the album does not put one foot wrong -- a claim that Allen supporters had not truly been able to make since midway through the Planet Gong trilogy.
		Song lengths are especially impressive, generally ranging between seven and 14 minutes (the epic title track), but never outstaying their welcome.
