Hi,
I did not dislike the Brand X stuff, but I really thought that the Gong stuff in the Pierre Moerlin days, is actually much better than we give them credit for, but I think that too many of us got stuck on the dopey side of the Gong band, to actually appreciate the rest of it.
It's actually very similar, if you just take out Daevid and Gilly. ------------- Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told! www.pedrosena.com |

^ I'm with you on that. Moroccan Roll is a close second to Shamal. Actually a nice pairing. ------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

I agree much with Moshkito - Shamal is as good as anything else by Gong, it just does not have the same level of craziness as with Daevid Allen. Not to say that it isn't crazy, because it is. Moroccan Roll is still an excellent album. ------------- The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty" |

| SHAMAL definitely. I love Brand X dearly, my fave would be out of Livestock or Masques, but More-Rock-'n'-Roll is still a bloody good album. |
