You and Caution Radiation Area


Probably my answer as well, though it's hard to pick a favorite from Area.
Agree with "You", my Area choice is "Arbeit Macht Frei"

In the sunlight, see - it flashes
Find a fly and eat his eye
But don't believe in me
Don't believe in me

Better than filler!  Gong = the trilogy obviously as well as Gazeuse and Shamal.     Area= Areazione


I'm not sure on Area as I need to hear more before making a clear judgement... (that's the highest priority on my list Clap), but my favorite Gong album is probably You. Then the rest of the trilogy and Gazeuse.

Damn, Alex, that's a tough one.  Area slightly edges out Gong for me, although You is better than any Area album.

Area.
 
One of the best. Ever. In my top ten of artists of all time. I love Gong but my vote goes to Area.


Originally posted by Logan Logan wrote:

Damn you!  I demand you split this into two polls:  Area vs. Frost and Gong vs. Nightwish.

Love both, I mean I really love Gong, but also going with Area.

I prefer the jazz flavour of AREA with those amazing vocals to GONG's psychedelic trippiness. "You" is an amazing album though.


I agree.

Yeah nothing feminine about a Gong! But like febus, I have a soft spot for Howlett-Blake-Moerlen-Hillage and Malherbe in particular , plus that Allen guy!
