Description
This is one of early Gong's finest albums. All instrumental this is a great recording featuring Allan Holdsworth on acoustic and electric guitar. Playing is superb by all and there is a strong percussion presence. All the instrumentation sound well balanced. Now there's been a small debate among the progressive rock community (and you know, it HAS to be small since Gong is so unknown to the average person) which version of Gong is better- the psychedelic Daevid Allen or the jazzier/guitar jam Pierre Moerlen period. Well even though my journey with Gong began with their psychedelic Daevid Allen period and Camembert Electrique, after a few years I gradually began preferring the jazzier, jam-heavy Morerlen stuff. This is because this period of the bands music holds up remarkably well and doesn't sound nearly as dated. The music's also fairly challenging for the listener.
Highly recommended!
Gong – Gazeuse!
