Gong came together in the late '60s when Australian guitarist Daevid Allen (ex-Soft Machine) began making music with his wife, singer Gilli Smyth, along with a shifting lineup of supporting musicians. Albums from this period include Magick Brother, Mystic Sister (1969) and the impromptu jam session Bananamoon (1971) featuring Robert Wyatt from the Soft Machine, andGary Wright of Spooky Tooth. A steady lineup featuring Frenchman Didier Malherbe (sax and reeds), Christian Tritsch (bass), and Pip Pyle (drums) along with Allen (glissando guitar, vocals) and Gilli Smyth (space whisper vocals) was officially named Gong and released Camembert Electrique in late 1971, as well as providing the soundtrack to the film Continental Circus and music for the album Obsolete by French poet Dashiel Hedayat.
Pot Head Pixies, Flying Teapots, Gnomes Radio, Octave Doctors and Zero The Hero; The Gnome Invisible trilogy by Gong. The Gnome Invisible trilogy by Gong. The band appeared to have an ever evolving line-up throughout their history, but for recent the past, the core for member on the "YOU" album (the third installment in the trilogy) was: Steve Hillage
( previously of "Arzachel" ) acid-space guitar wizard....
In contrast to the two previous albums in the trilogy the structure on these tends more towards extended sonic space-rock jams rather than the more concise Daevid Allen inspired flights of fancy. The ksynthesizer sounds are noticeably more prevalent and take on a space rock atmosphere while the guitar theatrics have the major role in the arrangements. Magick Mother Invocation / Master Builder "," The Magic Mother Invocation / Master Builder "," The Quirkiness and Creativity " This piece of music is undoubtedly one of the band's finest moments and starts with an ominous vocals across a layer of swirling cosmic keyboard sounds setting the scene for what is to come. The chanting develops with an Indian motif while mesmerizing flute sounds float across the aural landscape and Didier Malherbe's winds takes over the spotlight with some jcomplex soloing. Twittering birds briefly interrupt the flow of the music before an organic bass line and off-beat drumming propels it forward into a glorious morass of otherworldly sounds and textures which builds and builds to an intense conclusion. Another highlight is "A Sprinkling of Clouds" which brings the listener back down to earth with some soothing keyboard passages and serves to maintain the cosmic aural landscape. A hypnotic underlying rhythm section courtesy of Mike Howlett and Pierre Moerlen snakes in to anchor the ensuing jam with Steve Hillage's lead guitar soaring and interspersed with Malherbe's thrilling flute work.
