About Time, by New York Gong

About Time

by New York Gong

supported by

Levrikon A really wonderfully strange album that sees '60s sunshine hippie Daevid Allen fronting a band of 1980 New York No Wave musicians, including a young Bill Laswell, Fred Maher, and Mark Kramer. Hearing Allen read his poetry over the dissonant funk of the band is a trip. Favorite track: Much Too Old.

Rejoice! A new Gong egg has hatched and the little pumpkin is adorable. Not as spacey as Daevid, nor as fusiony as Pierre, but quite precocious, talented, and ohh so very Gongidocious. Gong fans dock your Teapots at the nearest space station and load this brain fuel into your warp drives immediately! Cas P
