Headspace jazz fusion, I’m 63 and still listen to these guys, even better when you smoke a bowl, been listening to these guys since 77, awesome reaction, thank you ❤
Anything Gong would "sprinkle" on you would cause hallucinations for sure. These guys and gals were tripping balls constantly. I posted a video of them in the off-topic on discord awhile back where they were tripping in Montserrat. Fantastic stuff here. It makes me feel young listening to this.
Great song from a great band. This from 1974. Gong at this time were always a journey, a welcome relief from standard rock. A great Euro line up led by an Australian. Liked Steve Hillage's influence at this time. Good choice Mark and a nice reaction 🙂
Ahhh…..just beautiful…Daevid on glissando with Tim Blake on synths….not to mention Steve Hillage and Pierre Moerlen….Mike Howlett …love Gong since 1975….lucky me has so many GAS tapes and albums, solo works from them all…..just great chillin music….
Ah... Gong!! A bunch of pot headed pixies demonstrating that somethings can be so far ahead of their time that even those who thought of themselves as being 'at the cutting edge' were 'old hat' - which is probably why they aren't as appreciated even today as musicians of their skill and versatility perhaps ought to be. I'm currently playing with a guy who apparently was hanging around that whole late 60's early 70's 'space'/'psychedelia' rock scene in good ole England, who says very disparaging things about Gong, Hawkwind and that whole scene while denying that Daevid Allen was an Aussie... Who'd a thunk?!! They insult the music now that they hung around then, whilst still wanting to claim one of the major personalities behind the scene as one 'of their own'. Humans - we're a funny lot. "Bang the Gong!!" Or is it "Bong the Gong!" Either way "Enjoy!!"
There was an excellent video that accompanied this tune depicting a storm brewing from small beginnings to all out mayhem using actual storm footage. It was very well put together but unfortunately has been removed from TH-cam.
Really, before you listen to 'A Sprinkling of Clouds', you should play 'Master Builder' - they belong together. In that order. Also, wow, Steve Hillage, the guitarist on the original track has done a dance remix with his current outfit System 7, and I must admit it's not bad; not bad at all.

I remember that video you posted. I got a contact high just watching it. 🤣
I have a friend that played with and interviewed the leader Daevid Allen. He was a genius. R.I.P. Daevid.

Sounds awesome! Thanks for watching!
I saw them do this live at Tramps in NYC, back in the mid 90s. The air was thick with weed smoke. When the sax solo kicked in, I levitated.
This track is from the album You, the third in their Radio Gnome Invisible trilogy - I had all three plus an earlier album Camembert Electrique
The second ,
