GONG ~ IN THE 70`S VOICEPRINT 406 (Barcode: 604388325726) ~ UK ~ Canterbury Scene Recorded: 1973 - 1975 Released: 2006 New treasures from the GongFind albums by this artist archives! Previously unreleased live and rehearsal recordings of this great band are presented here in more than decent sound quality, which makes this a true bliss for the numerous fans of the band (myself included). The exact dates of the recordings are sketchy at best, but Daevid AllenFind albums by this artist’s liner notes shed some light on the contents: The majority of the tracks come from the jazzy version of the band with Steve HillageFind albums by this artist on guitar, Didier MalherbeFind albums by this artist on sax and Pierre MoerlenFind albums by this artist on drums. This almost fusion sounding band (recorded shortly before Hillage’s debut solo album Fish RisingFind albums with this title was made) really cooks! The rest of the tracks present the band around the time of Camembert ElectriqueFind albums with this title (with the great Pip PyleFind albums by this artist on drums) and around the time of Angel`s EggFind albums by this artist. All the music is of course quite brilliant and so uniquely Gong that I can hardly imagine that anybody who loves this band would like to miss this. Essential for all eggheads!
