Gong in the 70's captures the essence of the band’s most experimental and transformative period. Gong, led by Daevid Allen, was at the forefront of the progressive and psychedelic rock scenes.
Their 70's albums, particularly The Radio Gnome Invisible trilogy (Flying Teapot, Angel's Egg and You), blend space rock, jazz fusion and surrealist storytelling, creating a universe of mythical characters and cosmic narratives. The band's sound during this era is an eclectic mix of whimsical lyrics, intricate guitar solos, spacey synthesizers and saxophone interludes.
Songs often shift from dreamy, meandering passages to explosive jams, driven by the interplay between Allen’s trippy vocals and the virtuosic musicianship of band members like Steve Hillage and Didier Malherbe.
This period of Gong is marked by its improvisational spirit, which makes their live performances legendary. Gong’s 70’s output is a wild ride through space-age psychedelia, full of humor, oddball charm and boundary-pushing creativity.
