sinopsis The ever metamorphosing entity that is Gong launches, as ever, into unknown – and unknowing – territory with a new album and tour, destined to be talked about, discussed, and argued over, up and down the land. From its beginnings in a French commune, through the Virgin Records years, mismanagement, court cases, break-ups and rejoinings, deaths and rebirths – there has always been a continuous thread of beautiful, dangerous and extraordinary music.
The current holders of the flame have come together over the last seven years. With the release of three albuns and with their extraordinary dynamic live shows, the band have won the hearts of both traditional and modern Gong fanbases.
