MOTHER GONG ~ THE OWL AND THE TREE VOICEPRINT 278 ~ UK ~ Canterbury Scene 2nd album from 1990. Mother Gong was of course one of the many off-shot bands comming from the original Gong, this one being led by Gilli Smyth. Daevid Allen joins the group for this album and splits the vocal parts with Gilli, as well as contributing some of his songs. This is one of the best and most focused efforts to come out of the Gong camp from that troubled period.
