I have been concentrated on this cycle for the last two-three days. Terrifying and sublime, when heavy music's yesterdays were much more ambitious than today's.

Finally, an album I can post in here!

Was never a huge Gong-er but this is about as good as you can get from a prog band in its 6th or 7th decade (?) still releasing music. Very invocational but balancing that with the kind of space rock/jazz fusion beatdowns that are heavy enough to get it reviewed here were I in the mood! Far better example of resilience than eg the current Yes output.

I'd heard the band name Gong before but had never listened to them merely because of their name. Must change that soon. Thanks for the posting, Mr. Zadok.

So many fund memories with this recording and so much of it isn't solely because of the memories, but because of the the essence of the music itself. Heavenly.

Music that does not keep the problems of life at bay but keeps them most close to us.

A symbol of the avant-garde in jazz.

Rarely, if ever, can a recording be called flawless. But this can.

Of divine quality and origin. The profundity and the authenticity of emotion here is truly stunning. Breath-taking. To reach such great depths is genuine artistry and a great rarity.
