Gong - 'Live In Paris:Bataclan 1973' (New Rose).......2004-11-25

Took me awhile to locate a copy of this CD,but well worth it.Even had it 'on special order' at a record store for two years(you read that right).'Live In...' was recorded in May,1973 at a venue called the Salle Bataclan in Paris.At least as good as their 'Floating Anarchy' disc(see my review).Includes the band's one-time 'Radio Gnome Trilogy' configuration of Allen,Smyth,Hillage,Malherbe,Moerlen,Blake and Howlett.When your hear this CD,you'll see that all seven members are pulling their own rather well.A total of eleven tracks with a running time of 76:48 is almost certain to give some Gong fans a natural high.The tunes that I dug the most were the seventeen-minute opener "Dynamite,I Am Your Animal","You Can't Kill Me",Didier Malherbe's flute-laced gem "Flute Salad","Flying Teapot"(hear the King Crimson influence)and "Wet Drum Sandwich".Comes with a 20-page booklet that has mostly French text as well as cover art by founder Daevid Allen.A truly great cosmic rock title to add to your music collection.Recommended.

Too wierd.......2002-09-12

This is a concert from the complete group from the Radio Gnome Trilogy, including Steve Hillage and Tim Blake. Gong was probably the best space rock band in history (I don't consider Pink Floyd to be space rock). During the Radio Gnome days, the band had an amazing line up of musicians.

But, the music on this album is just too spacy, eerie and wierd. While driving down to LA at 3am, I had to turn it off because the first 17 minutes were giving my wife the creeps.

The problem with the music is that is all mushed together and incoherent. There are a number of solos on this album, but you really can't enjoy them becuase they are muted by a "wall of sound". For instance, you never really get to hear Steve Hillage breakout. There is a short flute solo, but the sax is never highlighted.

I think I would choose any other Gong live album over this one. But a number of the Gong live albums end up sounding alike. If you want to get something truly different and spacy, this is the one.
