I agree with a caveat.

I think I respect UZ's contribution and overall import more, but at the end of the day it boils down to (as it should) which you simply like better.  I do enjoy Gong more, it speaks and relates to me more than UZ does.

Guigo is playing! Yay!!! Clap

There are only a few Gong albums I can listen to all the way through. They tend to take hippy trippy to annoying levels. While UZ is always interesting.




LOLClap  god you are good HT.

hippy, trippy, and annoying. 

it speaks to me... it relates to me and describes me LOL

Sampled some UZ, but, although I liked what I heard, it didn't do enough for me to want to change my vote away from Gong.

Love both, but lately I've been more into UZ.

Gong has one trump in its hands: You. But the more I hear from UZ, the more I like them.

Love both but it's still Gong by quite a big margin.

Difficult choice for me but I play Gong regularly while I have to be in the mood for UV so Gong it is.

A difficult choice. Comparing album by album would be better, but in general I can't decide. Gong is more accessible and doesn't require a particular state of mind as UZ do, so no vote from me.

Gong is a long time and deeply held favorite for me. I had never heard anything from Univers Zero until now, pardon my ignorance. I'm so impressed with it that simply cannot lay down a vote. No one is more surprised than me. I'll have to investigate Univers Zero a little more. Peace.

Love albums by both bands, but Univers Zero is much more consistently excellent for me across the discography. In fact, I can't think of a band more consistently excellent than UZ through the years.

Univers Zero is an interesting band, but till this moment I find Gong more exciting.
