Gong 2032

40 years ongoing, Gongs new album 2032 is a tour de force of tea pot flying pixie driven loveliness, with Steve Hillage and Miquette Giraudy back on board the magic returns, not to say that the other Gong albums aren't good because they are. I received my vinyl copies of this beautiful double album and was overjoyed to find find that as well as being high quality vinyl it came with a CD version, a poster and a booklet; and ore over the music is sublime. I saw them at Beautiful Days earlier this year and they shone. Daevid Allen (who is now 71) and crew are an inspiration to us all and shows that you can continue to be yourself and not give in to the social norms on age if you believe in what you're doing and/or saying. I'm hoping to get to see them in Exeter next week, fingers crossed.
