Gong was never a band to do things by the book. Throughout the seventies they released a succession of psychedelic, progressive rock albums that could be considered outlandish – some might say stark raving mad – and avant-garde even by the standards of those insane times.Think the arthouse stylings of The Soft Machine (of whom [...]Post from: Head Full of SnowGong – 2032Related posts:Gong UK

Gong is a prog band that came out of Britain's Canterbury scene in the 1960s. It has morphed through many different incarnations through the years. Early versions of the band led by Daevid Allen were quite psychedelic. The band led by Pierre Moerlen in the 1970s (which recorded Gazeuse! and Expresso II) had a heavier prog and sometimes fusion sound. It's probably the heaviest damned sax, vib...

(I got the yellow dot up there somehow, but there's a fancy MOG player at the bottom to listen to the whole track with!)Well, now that things have settled down after the holidays in MOGland, I figured it's about time to continue my long-winded rants about all things prog. Those of you who have stuck through this, I hope you've been able to hear some stuff you like, and if nothing else, I hope ...

I've posted about the "space rock" genre before here. Wanted to share another one with you guys. This song is one I've been listening to a lot lately. Check out the laid back groove they lay down. As the song progresses they essentially keep that same groove going, but start to spiral it through different timings, going from four to three to seven and back again. It's so effortless you mig...
