Gong

2032

g-wave AAGWCD001
Of all the bands who have come and gone over the past 40 years, it is mind-boggling that Gong are still around. Their music was strange, their live appearances were infamous, and their psychedelic appetites were legendary. - *blogcritics

Produced and engineered by Steve Hillage at A-wave Studios, London, with additional production by daevid allen at Bananamoon Observatory in Australia.
