Gong is far superior to Mother Gong.
Basically, stick to pre-1977 and you're OK, but after that you're treading a dangerous minefield of cheese bombs. |

Prog rock? Formed 1978. Fairy Tales rated highly, as is Robot Woman. Described variously as eclectic and bizarre. But I've never heard anything by them.

Formed late 60s, actually.
"Robot Woman" is total cheese, except for the package design, which is awesome. I recommend: Camembert Electrique The "Radio Gnome Invisible" trilogy of the LPs Flying Teapot, Angels Egg and You Gong Est Mort/Vive Gong (live 2xLP) Floating Anarchy live 1977 One of the few groups to effectively walk the line between psych and prog. |

I never realised Mother Gong and Gong were the same. I just assumed one was a shit cop-out load of bollocks and the other (Gong) were fucking ace. I'm more of a fan of Goblin though.

They aren't exactly the same, but they are permutations of one another. Gong itself wasn't "really" Gong a lot of the time either.
Goblin is definitely some coolness. |

What about Acid mothers gong? I have never heard them but I have alway been curious.

Someone sent me Goblin sometime last year. I was most impressed.
You know, I wish someone told me that prog/ psych didn't have to mean listening to Pink 'fucking' Floyd's 'Dark Side of the fucking Moon' when I was younger, I could've made so much more progress. For years, I thought that Krautrock was somehow nothing to do with the whole thing...

I have not heard the AMG collaboration, but reports from the field have been meh. It's hard to know until I hear it for myself though.
Goblin defintely did some cheesy stuff too, but most of their soundtracks are outstanding. Glice, I can hook you up with some awesome shit in this vein. |

I just saw Suspiria, which features soundtrack by the Goblin. It was quite impressive yes, but the music video on the DVD is utmostly fucking cheesy and embarrassing. And think it's modernized version of the song in that video.

i remember trying to listen to some Gong records a - relatively - long time ago and not liking their music (i cannot remember which records it was)...
after that, i began listening a lot to other krautrock bands and never tried again Gong. i probably should try again one day, thanks for the recommendations... |
