Gong
Formed in 1967 by ex-Soft Machine Daevid Allen, the Franco-English band Gong
brought together a community of musicians who left their mark on the 1970s with
their soaring, delirious music and happenings-style concerts. The albums
Camembert Electrique (1971) and Flying Teapot (1973) are classics. In 1975,
Pierre Moerlen took the band in hand and turned it towards jazz rock(Shamal).
After the departure of guitarist Steve Hillage, several entities claimed the
group's legacy, continuing to record under the names Pierre Moerlen's Gong, New
York Gong, Planet Gong and Acid Mothers Gong....
