interview: Kavus chats to Prog magazine

from daevid allen's last message to Gong:

I want you to know I am 100% behind you with this project and I wish you huge success in every way you decide to measure that success.

At last I am free to let go of it so now it is up to you guys to carry it on into new unknown heights and depths far beyond anything I could ever imagine myself.

Love and massive soulful hugs
