Much more than a band . The new version of Gong are masterful musicians ,strong ,streaming , heavy dark edged proggy .
With this album, Pierre Moerlen's superb drumming really galvanizes the band.
I look forward to side 2. Flute Salad, Oily Way, Outer Temple and Inner Temple - perhaps my favourite run of tracks on any Gong album.
"Would you like some...tea?"
Yup. The most playful prog band in the history of ever :)
The woman reciting the "Prostitute Poem" is Gilli Smyth (who also did the vocals in "Witch's Song / I am Your Pussy"). She called that kind of vocal delivery "Space Whisper". And yes, she is always very sexy and seductive, but with a menacing undertone.
You should really react to "Fairy Tales" by Mother Gong (a spin-off band of Gong), in which she tells three fairy tales in this style. An absolutely incredible album that we have been recommending for quite some time now.
This is my favorite Gong album
I agree, it's mine too
Just wanted to note that Steve Hillage was a pioneer in the techno/rave DJ scene decades after the release of these trilogy albums.
Random selection you might check out. System 7, also at a time billed as 777. Hillage and Giraudy still playing together. "777" from 1993. Check it out.
Phenomenal band. Gong were the trippiest of all. Blessings.
"Open" is as far as I could go with Hillage. OK(ish) album, great tour but after that.......
RIP Daevid Allen and Gilli Smyth. Both legends in my head
I was lucky enough to see Gong for the 2032 Tour. Sadly Gilli was not there, but amazing to see Daevid and that incarnation of Gong. A friends band was the support act.
Going to see Gong and Ozric Tentacles in Southampton next year 😀
All hail the Ozrics! 😀
Did you know that Pierre Morlen the drummer worked with Mike Oldfield in several albums?
Superb album, my favourite Gong album.
Listen to every album, every live set, everything associated with gong. All of it is beyond ❤
One of the former members of Gong is the great Tim Blake. A reaction to his first two solo albums would be great. Hug.
And if anyone is digging Tim Blake, the first Clearlight Symphony is a must!
I've wanted to see Gong for nearly 50 years now and I'm finally getting my chance this July in what used to be East Germany! They are playing at the annual Zappa now Festival. Woo-hoo!
What a mad coincidence. I was listening to this album just now and i was thinking "damn i remember jp reacting to the first album in this trilogy, he would really love the second", and so i went to check if you actually did the first record fully because my memory sucks, this was the first thing on my feed lmao.
This album is the most fun out of all the gong albums imo, so many great songs.
Hillage had more input, guitar-wise, on this one since most of the first in the trilogy had been written before his arrival. To me, it elevates this one to the top of the Gong canon.
The entire album is surely one of my favourite albums,
Excellent lead-in as you say. It's largely Tim Blake's Crystal Machine ( VCS3/AKS synthesisers) creating the ambience for Daevid Allen to be Daevid Allen over. 'You' has even more of this. Unique, so not for everybody, but those that 'know' love it.
Gong fan since mid 80s, this Floating Anarchy and Gongmaison are my favourite Gong treats.
Be kind everyone .
Oh dear Justin !! you now have access to Planet Gong! You will feel it, just like planet Genesis or Yes have their own colors and offer their own journeys, planet Gong also has its own substances. I saw them many times in concert in those years! GGGGGGreat world!
Summer's nearly here, time to listen to some Gong 😊
i loved this album in 1973 and somehow i love it even more today.
This album, a near perfect balance between the triad of art, ambience, and positive aggression. The next, You, focuses a tad more on the latter 2 but again had contributions of all 3, enough to again be stellar. Some days, Angel’s Egg is the deal. Some days, You. They are like sisters to me. Right and left brain perhaps? Dunno. The space is truly inner space. Enjoy and keep that heart light.
The Trilogy is excellent. Each of the three parts has their own sound.
Technicolor widescreen music full of smiles!
10:21 Yup, here we go!!!!
Best band ever!
13:25 This part is unbelievably good 😂. Didn't know this band, it sounds amazing.
I hope you now have it, it really is superb.
Camembert Electrique is the correct name, my favorite Gong album too. The trilogy is more irregular but have some great parts.
My mother bought this for me from Richard Branson's original Virgin record shop in London in 1974 - was not available in South Africa
Love how dreamy and ambient space is created by GONG. Have you done YOU album yet . Its a trip .
I was at their concert in 1992 in Marseille
My favorite Gong album, probably because it was my first... sublime all the way thru.
All Gong is essential listening .
Great choice! Reminds me of very good times. Good stuff to trip out.
JP personally to my ears the Gong album 'You' is a more coherent affair almost like Steve Hillage's Fish Rising.... I still love Angel's Egg though..... excellent tripping. Daevid Allen and Gilli Smyth were Aussies btw....
Altough I"m very fond of Gong's music, I didn't ever listened to this. It's wonderful!! The guitar of Steve Hillage is very recognizable. And Daevid Allen is such a FIGURE. Great fun to hear something very deviant from the norm.
Thanks for this one. I think this is my all time favorite album , together wit Apostrophe from Zappa. Pure brialliance indeed! Greetings from The Netherlands!
Thanks so much for watching jangitaarman!
"Camembert Electrique" came before the trilogy and I've ayeways considered it a prologue to the trilogy.
Some nice laid back "Gnome" tunes from Daevid Allen's lot on Sunday morning !! 🧙♂
👍☺🎶
The female singer your looking for is Gilli Smyth and she was the space whisperer
If you enjoyed the ambient slow build of the intro, you'd probably like Tim Blake's solo albums Crystal Machine and New Jerusalem. Great when youre in the mood for a little ambient head music.
As the Great Prophet Zarquon said: 'Sorry i'm late everybody... how are we for time'. Great band, great album. Good 'ol Gong, it's all here. Great tunes, vocals, spacey, whimsical, great musicianship (partic Didier M). Everything early floyd aspired too, but missed the mark dreadfully. Crackin' stuff, just hit play, and drift away...
Who's the prophet Zarquon? Is this a reference from another Gong album?
@@dieterbohm9700Sorry, the reference to the GPZ was a bit of an 'in joke' to myself. The GPZ is actually a character from the book, Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy. My posts used to be prompt on JP's posting them. And this one was quite a bit later. In the book, the GPZ is supposed to appear just before the end of the universe and explain/answer all the big questions on life. However, come the time he was late and didin't get a chance to. It seemed funnier to me at the time 🙂
Best intro ever 👍🏻
Thanks for doing one of my favourite albums of all time today 🙏🏻
Can’t wait for side two. And “You.”
Gong c'est vachement bien.
The whole album is just awesome, 1973 it came out
Its wonderful :D
Great analysis JP....Gong have been with me since my teenage years. Gong Trilogy mind bending... "You" my favourite of the three but they stand the test of time and beyond!
Sherman Hemsley was into Gong (somewhat obsessively) and I read a similar anecdote about his "party". Also, the last track really reminded me of Syd Barrett.
You have never heard the Wall ? I remember the Sunday that they were putting new records of the Wall on the shelf. 1979. We wore out those records. Seasoned veterans before the movie came out in 1982.
In late 78/early79 I saw a group of EMI sound engineers walking across fields to a power station that was being blown up. It was near to my place of work on the outskirts of Coventry. We asked what they were doing. They replied they were getting sound effects for a new PF album!
Next album - GONG ''You'' !
I love Gong!!! You really should do the trilogy :D
Can't wait to see you react to Side Two :)
I think I have said before that, at the time, this was pretty much a band for the perma-stoned and I tried to avoid it. However coming back to it so many years later I think those who used it that way missed out on a lot of brilliant musicianship and I can get the free jazz vibe from it.
There's a later 80's incarnation which Allen set up in New York which adds a touch of punk to the proceedings which is kind of fun too.
Christian, I call to you through the ether...Gong is here!
...and he answers through the ether....he's gone to the Isle Of Everywhere (back soon).
JP - barbershop quartet
I love Gong. My favorite is Camembert Electrique but the trilogy is great.
Well, this was a thoroughly good time. Great album, thus far. Fantastic intro, as you said and what has followed has been a sublime meditation with a little pub sing-a-long thrown in. Really enjoyed this Justin. I shall tune in for side 2.😊
Gilli Smyth is the name you were looking for.
Can’t wait to listen to this
Can't wait until you do the second side. Eat That Phone Book Coda shows off the monster on drums.
Hoorah. Thanks for doing this one. Not in any way to disaparage any of Daevid Allen's previous work but I find it intriguing that it took him so long to reach a creative and even commercial peak with this incarnation of Gong ('You' I believe shifted 'mega units') whereas his compatriots in the so called Cantebury Scene were in terminal decline by this time. I have to say I never much liked the first track in this studio version as it isn't (to me) a particularly strong performance - its definitely a live thing. I've mentioned before the first time I saw Gong at the time of the release of Angels Egg - the best gig I ever experienced and no, drugs were never necessary with Gong (I was 13 years old in any case - too young to even be admitted to the pub venue where they were playing let alone to have any experience of certain substances). As an aside - ha ha bit of a shock JP - how hilarious to be given a name check with what is obviously my honest to goodness real name.
😴
sorry to have bored you! actually, reading my post back just now I bored myself @@KennyRigby-pd1vv
...David est un grand Mage ! la voix est celle de Gilli Smyth, sa femme ! 💛💛💛
Can't wait until you get to Gong "You", part III. And then eventually you'll get to "Shamal", which has a distinctly different flavor from early Gong, moving further into a Canterbury Jazz Prog Rock Fusion kind of affair.
Canterbury. You need to do Hatfield and the North's first album, and Robert Wyatt and Matching Mole's "Little Red Record". Not need. MUST. It's part of the Canterbury Scene education.
Blessings.
They lost me after You. Way too Jazz Fusion to be endured!
Personally, I find Camembert Electrique a bit hit and miss. They were just finding themselves and some of it is rather too 'arty' and avant garde for me. Basically, there's more of the trippy chatter (particularly from Gilli) than you have already heard in Flying Teapot. There's some good stuff too, but the ratio is not as favourable. By Angel's Egg, they are concentrating more on the music and not allowing the performance art to detract from it so much.
Exactly.
Brilliant band, brilliant album. Excellent musicianship, excellent madness… what more do you want, ohw, check out Mike Howletts insane basslines! And to add, of course, Didier Malherbe’s sax. Sometimes distorted, sometimes with a wha…
Just curious: is there any track on any release anywhere with Gilli actually singing, and not just speaking/whispering? I'd love to hear that, but I suppose there was a reason she didn't go there.
Gilli Smyth
Afterthoughts: It's a 'barbershop' quartet - not sure what a barbership sounds like! It's Gilli Smyth (aka Shakti Yoni) doing the space whispering (female vocals) - I had the pleasure of seeing her doing this live with Gong when she was in her 70s (and still kinda sexy) Did you mention Steve Hillage? Some of the guitar is unmistakably his.
Barbership Quartit.
I enjoyed the jazz elements, I guess I was in the right mood. Is it a stretch to say that some of the synth-like sounds were a bit reminiscent of the (later) music of J-M Jarre?
Prostitute Poem is an homage to the cabaret of Berthold Brecht. 😊
Cool stuff, you can't go far wrong with the Radio Gnome Invisible trilogy Justin. Angel's Egg may not be quite as good as You, but it's my favourite. 🙃
For me 'Angel's Egg' just shades it but you can't argue with either
rout Mask Replica by Captain Beefheart and i subscribe.........
JP, you seem mystified bv the storyline of the flying teapot trilogy (and not without reason) but the original vinyl sleeves have an explanation of the storyline. It's still wacky as anything but makes a bit more sense. I can't see any way to post these on the site but if you can send an email address I'll send you scans if you're interested.
This is such a fun trilogy of albums, though 'Angels Egg' probably is my least favourite of the three (with "You" being my fave).
Great you're continuing, Justin.
That was great. Must be a Gong album. I'm almost sure the female narration/ voice acting was by Gilli Smyth. Maybe she wasn't part of the full time band at the time if she's not being credited, and just popped in to help with the album. I think at times they might be making gentle fun of music such as the "rap" parts of *Francoise Hardy* - e.g. in her "private message" - *Message Personnel* th-cam.com/video/oybALMX0kzM/w-d-xo.html (a very shy person - literally socially phobic - to the extent that she ran away from fame at times - and a very good Catholic girl, and not a Frank Zappa one - whose agents etc did their very best to turn her into a sex symbol, as the the term went back then).
I don't know how you'd say the "ene" syllable in proper Greek (and for starters you'd have to decide which of the two thousand-odd years of Greek you're going to call "the right one", since Greek has changed over all that time - several times), but the old "Anglo-Greek" pronunciation involved pronouncing every "E" as an "EE". (I think this is bad Greek, but for a while it was good English).
So Irene is not "I-reen", but "I-ree-nee" in that way of pronouncing it "correctly". So consistently with that, you'd have e.g. "Per-seh-pho-nee"? ... oops ... I'm almost sure that's the version I've heard of that name, and it contradicts the "rule" I imagined, hey? (I-reenee is right, but maybe just for that name). Anyway, if you wanted to use "the rule", you'd say "Sigh-lee-nee". (But to be properly sure, you'd have to study some poetry where her name appears, and then make the syllables fit the meter of that, I think.) Or do exactly as you please. :D
Mike Patton does something similar in *Pink Cigarette* by *Mr Bungle* (which a fan has done a nice "serial-killerish/ stalker" video for: th-cam.com/video/TwWQYg7aS5o/w-d-xo.html)
It sounds like it could've been made in the 60's for most of the time. (And it sounds like maybe he's making fun of that production technique - but just a little bit).
it's definitely Gilli Smyth and fully a member of the band as she was from the outset,
You (1974) is 10 times better.
My favourites of the Trilogy in order are Angel's Egg, Flying Teapot, then You. I know a lot of people prefer You - I just can't see it! (not that it's a bad album though)
Sorry, I find that boring. It's like Bitches Brew mixed with space rock. I only appreciate Gong after the departure of Daevid Allen. I make an exception for three tracks on the You album ("Master Builder", "A Sprinkling of Clouds" and "The Isle of Everywhere"), but otherwise I prefer the albums Shamal, Gazeuse!, Expresso II, Downwind, Time Is the Key... under the direction of Pierre Moerlen, when Gong's psychedelic space rock turned into jazz-rock.
It's really odd / interesting - you think you get a take on someone's taste from comments they leave (whether or not you agree) - I think the exact reverse about Gong - I can certainly find Daevid Allen at times (many times even) quite iritating but generally I prefer it when musicians are part of a whole and at certain points are let free - like a tap is turned on and then they have to say what they have to say within this moment and then they return to the whole. I am not a fan of Steve Hillage or indeed any of the individual musicians when they went their own way but in Gong he/they were superb.
@@Elvin_Pelvin Not everyone shares the same tastes and that's fine. For my part I like Steve Hillage solo and especially since he started to incorporate electronica and funk music elements in his psychedelic space rock. I guess I prefer when his music is more focused. I have a hard time when it gets too free and uncontrolled.
Rip Daevid Allen.
You must must listen to Daevid Allen…Now Is The Happiest Time of Your Life.
Absolutely love it.
