FULL CIRCLE - LIVE 1988

Excellent artifact from the Pierre Moerlen era. The sound and vibe here are far more organic than the bland Live album released in 1980. The recording is quite full and there is exquisite banter that really gives the album an exciting, intimate feel. A healthy selection of band favorites make this a top live album worth seeking out. My personal favorites on this album are Exotic and Leave it Open, but all the tracks put together make this something no fan of Pierre Moerlen's Gong should be without. In fact, this is among the best late eighties prog performances I've heard.
