TIME IS THE KEY

Gong

From Progarchives.com, the ultimate progressive rock music website

The end of the 1970's was a period of great stress in the world of jazz fusion and this album is an example. The tastes of the record buying public had shifted to more commercial material and bands that had experimented with jazz were falling out of favor. Gong had a great run but was quickly losing steam. This album is a percussion album as can be expected with a band called gong. It is less experimental and more staightforward with Pierre directing the themes. I bought the album in the early 80's because Holdsworth played on a few tracks. I still listen to it occasionally and like it. It may not be great but it is product of its time. Compared to previous work by this group, it is simple and direct. 3.5 stars.
