Gong

Musical Group

Gong is an Anglo-French psychedelic/space-rock collective formed by Daevid Allen in the late 1960s. The group is best known for the Radio Gnome Invisible trilogy (Flying Teapot, Angel's Egg, You), a shifting multinational lineup, and a signature mix of psychedelia, Canterbury-flavoured jazz, and experimental rock.

Founder and central figure Daevid Allen shaped the band's recognisable sound; key collaborators across eras include Gilli Smyth, Steve Hillage, Didier Malherbe, Pierre Moerlen and Mike Howlett. Allen died in 2015. The Radio Gnome Invisible trilogy and Camembert Electrique are repeatedly cited as landmark releases.

Reviews on DeBaser present Gong as a long-running Anglo-French psychedelic/space-rock collective centered on Daevid Allen. The Radio Gnome Invisible trilogy (Flying Teapot, Angel's Egg, You) and Camembert Electrique are repeatedly highlighted. Live performances and later recordings receive praise though opinions vary on recent output.

 You absolutely have to introduce me to Pierre Moerlen, aka Dierre de Strasbourg or Lawrence The Alien.
