	Gong (band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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 (died 2005) and without their two principal members, because of contractual obligations.
		The Gong mythology however, continued from the late seventies up until the nineties, in Allen's solo work, and with bands such as Euterpe and Planet Gong (also known as Here and Now), while Smyth formed a separate band: Mother Gong.

	Gong mythology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Gong mythology is a collection of recurring characters, themes and ideas that permeate the rock albums of Daevid Allen and Gong, and to a lesser extent the early works of Steve Hillage.
		The mythology is hinted at through all of Gong's earlier albums but is not the central theme until the "Radio Gnome Trilogy" (1973-1974).
		As can be seen, the mythology is not universally serious, and great amounts of it pertain in some way to the production and consumption of tea (perhaps suggesting mushroom tea however).

	GONG-FAQ
		Gong officially ceased to exist in the spring of 1978 when it became Pierre Moerlen's Gong, but the departure of Daevid Allen in April 1975 marked the (temporary) end of the original Gong project as conceived by him.
		Gong was thus reborn, with a line-up of Allen, Malherbe, Pyle, Graham Clark on violin and guitar, Keith Bailey on bass and vocals and Shyamal Maïtra on percussion.
		Gong were successively based in France and England and toured mostly in these countries, with occasional forays into Europe, most notably in late 1974 and spring 1976.

	GONG-Biography
		In the Gong mythology, this was the point when Daevid Allen had his 'seed vision', during which, legend has it, he foresaw his future career with both Soft Machine and Gong.
		The name Gong was first used in 1969, by which time the group of musicians gathered around Allen included former free-jazz saxophone player Didier Malherbe (nicknamed 'Bloomdido' after the famous Charlie Parker composition), and session musicians Christian Tritsch (guitar/bass) and Rachid Houari (drums/percussion), previously in the backing band of variety star Claude François.
		Since then 'Classic Gong' has been inactive as Daevid Allen concentrates on University Of Errors and the latest incarnation of Gong is Acid Mothers Gong, involving Allen (and, occasionally, Gilli Smyth and Didier Malherbe) in conjunction with members of the Japanese band Acid Mothers Temple.

	What is Gong? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Many folks seem to not consider this the first Gong lp, either because it was before a band had really formed or because the release was in some issues titled as being by Daevid Allen and Gilli Smyth instead of by "Gong".
		Anyway, Gong mixes a lot of whimsy and silliness but underneath it all is a lot of metaphors, pointers to buddhism, zen, meditation, and enlightenment.
		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.

	Ground and Sky review - Gong - Camembert Electrique
		If you ever listened to Gong's You and found yourself wishing that the band hadn't focused so much on the music but had included more of the psychedelic weirdness and plot devices used on the first two installments of the Radio Gnome trilogy, then Camembert Electrique (Electric Cheese) may be a revelation for you.
		Hence, an evolving mythology centered on interplanetary psychic communication between the Earth people and the "pothead pixies" from the faraway planet of Gong, who were to free the minds of Earthlings with their music, or something.
		The band's mythology — like all such mythologies — dated quickly and probably was more interesting if you happened to be into Gong when the group was active.

		Or 'Gong Song', which is the first number to introduce the fabulous 'Gong Mythology' and the whole 'pothead pixie' and 'planet Gong' concepts.
		There are, of course, certain problems with the sound; it's hardly possible to mimick all of Gong's witty studio trickery on stage, even if the band really try to do their best, and I can't say any of the songs exceeds or even matches the studio originals.
		Fortunately, the record is just as unpretentious as any classic Gong record; if you're fearing the worst (namely, that they all became very serious and very pompous as they started reaching their seventies), I can reassure you that there's no true pomposity on this record, or "overblownness" or whatever you could call it.

		I think that this is the only time gonG had a stable line-up that lasted two albums, but it won't last long as Daevid and his now wife Gilly will leave at the end of this album (maybe even before the release of it - I'm not sure).
		After this album, the Gong world will lose the silly and absurd link to Planet Gong: From GonG, they will become Gong heading in a much jazzier direction and further albums can easily be identified as Fusion or canterbury albums.
		Even though there’s still lots of room for improvisation and expansion, it is clear that the anarchy and raw energy of their previous albums has been somewhat (not totally) subdued in favour of a bigger amount of cohesiveness in the band’s functioning: it is clear that Allen and Mrs.

	CD review - Gong, Zero to infinity
		On "Zero to Infinity" you can hear a revitalized Gong that hasn’t lost the nature of their classic sound and that doesn’t constitute a copy of their previous works.
		The energy that Gong showed on stage during the last tours is now present on this great record, a production that, without being inferior to the earlier ones, is indeed a worthy heir to them.
		In a certain way, it is also one of the band’s most "normal" productions because the experimental parts from the earlier periods have been significantly shortened, but the composition and production are really good and it has the interest and quality of the classic band’s good records.
