		Gong played at the first Glastonbury Festival and were subsequently one of the first acts to sign to Virgin Records, getting first pick of the studio-time ahead of Mike Oldfield.
		Gong continued, under the control of drummer Pierre Moerlen[?] and without their two principle members, because of contractual obligations.

	What is Gong? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		This band lineup did a Glastonbury Faire concert and appeared on the rare lp from it (with the generator dying during Gong's set) and they also did a couple of other rare lps: the soundtrack to the film Continental Circus and backing a frech guy named Dashiel Hedayat.
		The band by "Angel's Egg" Gong had a very competent lineup of musicians and the album is well produced and wonderful to me, and along with "You" I think this holds as the pinnacle of the "classic Gong" lineup.
		He quit and the band went on to back Steve Hillage for an lp, then was taken over by Pierre Moerlen who released a string of fine instrumental fusion lps before turning into a shadow of his former self.

		Gong was, and remains, one of the cornerstones of the genesis of progressive rock.
		This version of Gong reached its apex in the spring of 1968, in the midst of "Les Evenements", the infamous riots that nearly toppled the French government.
		Seminal French space prog band Gong may be best known for their pioneering work in the early to mid '70s, as evidenced by the indispensable Radio Gnome Trilogy of albums: "Flying Teapot", "Angels Egg", and the space fusion masterpiece "You".

		Pierre's relationship with Gong was a musically rich if personally roller-coaster one and he appeared on and co-composed two of their most beloved and accomplished albums 'Angel's Egg'' (Virgin 2007) and 'You' (V2019), both released in 1974.
		Tiring of the rock world and leading bands, through the end of the 1980s and most of the 1990's Pierre toured the crisscrossed the world as resident 'pit' drummer for several big musicals such as Evita and Les Misrables before unexpectedly joining Brand X in 1997 for Japanese and European tours.
		After two brief attempts to resurrect Pierre Moerlen's Gong Pierre was tempted to Russia in 2002 where he worked on what proved to be his last recording sessions for the album 'Pentanine' (label unknown) with a group of Russian jazz musicians.

	GONG discography, MP3 and reviews
		GONG is a Space/Canterbury Rock group formed by Australian guitarist (formerly of SOFT MACHINE) Daevid Allan in Paris, France in 1968.
		GONG’s second release: "Camembert Electrique" is the beginning of Allan’s ideas of Pot Head pixies, Radio Gnome’s, & Octave Doctor’s featured on later albums of "The Radio Gnome Invisible Trilogy" along with the Protagonist Zero The Hero, which consisted of "Flying Teapot" (1972), "Angel’s Egg" (1973) & "You" (1974).
		When Allen, Smyth, & Blake departed due to dissatisfaction of being an instrumental band this led Pierre to be the leader & released "Shamal" in 1976.

	GILLI SMYTH
		Gong realises they will have to change their manner of touring and concentrate on such events, which apart from the band will have visiting musicians, workshops, fire eaters, camping, staying in cabins, dancing, celebrating.
		Caught up with Elson and Ziska (from the first Gong- It was Ziska and Gilli together in 68 who developed the whole concept and manner of "space whisper", but have never had the opportunity to sing together since) in their retreat in the woods, deer walking past the windows.
		Catching the band in moments of lift off was not always easy,sometimes one musician was not feeling good, or feedback and distortion interfered in the middle of a peak moment, so it had to be just those few special times when everything worked together.

	Another Hippy Remembers Part 3
		Gong was formed out of the ashes of the May 1968 Paris Revolution, and Daevid Allen was an avowed admirer of Syd Barrett's vocal and guitar style.
		I often minded the farm for Gong whilst they were away on gigs, and I witnessed some amazing music from behind the scenes.
		It was around this time, as legend has it, at a Gong party, that Robert Wyatt the Soft Machine drummer,fell out of an upstairs window which resulted in him becoming permanently wheelchair bound.

		In retrospect he felt that the band lacked the spiritual integrity that Allen was looking for, but it did provide the circumstances for his first performances with Gilli Smyth as the 'electric poets'.
		GONG move to middlefield farm near oxford UK and are almost immediately busted for dope.
		Daevid wanted to leave the band, finding the music too technique oriented, other members objected to having to fit their music to his perpetual storyline and took issue with his choice of ending for the trilogy.

		Guidance came from the 'mysterious green planet Gong and its inhabitants the Pot Head Pixies' whose telepathic transmissions were communicated to earthlings via the music of the Gong band.
		The philosophy of the band fitted well with Allen's and Smyth's own wishes to break away from the stereotype roles of deified Artist and Performer that had evolved with the success of the Trilogy, despite their efforts to thwart that process with the use of multiple alter-ego's on record & stage.
		This was recorded and released by GAS, the eponymous Gong Appreciation Society, and is testament to the continued vivacity of the music and interest of the audience.

	Ground and Sky review - Gong - You
		Recorded in 1974, this is the apex and the crossroads of the band Gong.
		One is struck here by how the band shifts abruptly from harmless, sunny-day pop music a la The Beatles (the opening two tracks) to an ominous, mystical fury a la Mahavishnu Orchestra ("Master Builder," and the band's masterpiece, "A Sprinkling of Clouds") at literally the bang of a gong.
		If you've never heard Gong before, this is usually regarded as their magnum opus, and probably the place with which you should begin.

		Like Gong and Soft Machine they also traveled with a light show as an integral part of their band, and their light man was known as Liquid Len.
		The band still has their fans, but for me I think they are a symbol of the excesses of the times.
		Soon after they were joined by Mick Brockett who stayed with the band for most of its career as a "light musician." Their first US release was Remember The Future, a classic that rivals the work of the best Art Rock bands of the time, 1974, and went into Billboard's Top Twenty.

		Goblin were a very prolific band from Italy, who injected much of the "progressive" idiom into their music, most of which was in the form of horror movie soundtracks.
		Gong Est Mort is a worthwhile double LP document of a reunion of the Allen Gong.
		This later band was dominated by Pierre Moerlen and Didier Malherbe (and is not to be confused with Pierre Moerlen's Gong, which came later).

		On the way home a few nights ago Husband disovered, much to his horror, that I’d never heard of a band called Gong.
		He then spent the rest of the drive explaining, in excrutiating detail, the complete history of the band and every project that every member of the band had ever been involved in.
		Gong, it turns out, is in it’s 37th year of performing and recording in one form or another and through the years has included a pretty astounding line-up of talented musicians, including Chris Cutler, Tim Blake, and, well, a lot of other people.

	Gong
		The music of this band is damn near impossible to describe; to summarize even briefly all the achievements, conceptions, theories, mythologies and stylistics of Gong and its offshoots you'd need at least a hundred pages.
		I mean, every band, at one time or other, chooses some kind of strange decision, but of all things you wouldn't expect a band as hip and eccentric as Gong writing music to a soundtrack about motorcycle races.
		The band might have helped create ambient, but it's not because that was their intent - more probably, it's because they simply ran out of ideas and had no choice but to extend very few ideas over a very large space.

		A year of the communal life with his Gong band mates was enough for Pyle, but the drummer would occasionally drop in on the band throughout his career and has always had kind things to say about Gong's leader, Daevid Allen.
		Although the proggy band was slow with the output, National Health had a loyal following until they dissolved in 1982.
		Pyle and Gowen had also taken a break from the band in 1979 to reunite with Hopper for another short-lived band, Soft Heap, while later Pyle rekindled his musical relationship with Miller for his '80s and beyond band, In Cahoots.

		While one half of their band was off making synth pop as Arcadia, John Taylor and Andy Taylor of Duran Duran decided to go the opposite route and record some screaming-guitar rock music.
		Bolan's compositions were enigmatic (to say the least) drawing on ancient stories and fairy tales to create works that seem at once like children's albums and dark psychadelia.
		As well as having a number of hits including "Band a Gong," "Children of the Revolution," and "Telegram Sam," T.Rex would be instrumental in ushering in the glam rock look and sound of the early 70's.

		History & Mystery is a grab bag that encompasses Allen and Gong's exploits from the early 60s until its issue.
		He was in the middle of rehearsal sessions for a new Pierre Moerlen's Gong Band, which were going well and with which he was very happy.

	You - You
		Not surprisingly, not because of the people they played with, but the name of the band of course, they cite among their biggest influence the French band Gong.
		The influences range from world to psychedelic (in the Hawkwind and Gong way) to funk and jazz and the "real" songs are typically quite groovy with a few deviations to sixties music.
		Although the music is nice to listen to a few times, the band pays a little too much attention to composition and too much time to being funny and like when you heard a joke a few times, it wears out and the album being as long as it is, it is quite a sit.
