Few albums in Gong’s discography capture the band’s whimsical, irreverent take on life’s complexities and the enigma of death as vividly as 2014’s I See You. Now, the legendary psychedelic collective mark a decade since the release with a brand-new 10th Anniversary Edition on Kscope. Set for release on Kscope on 9th May, the new edition has been remixed from the original multi-track recordings by Frank Byng, producer and sound engineer of the last four Gong albums.

Formed by Australian expatriate Daevid Allen in Paris in 1969, Gong made a name for themselves as one of the most innovative and unique bands of the Seventies. Camembert Electrique, recorded in 1971, was the group’s third album. A skilful blend of jazz-influenced space rock, unconventional psychedelia and bizarre experimentation, it includes their classic ‘Foghat Digs Holes In Space’.

"Prog-Rock group Gong features performances drawn from the ‘70s, which is seen as a key time in the development of the band that, 50 years on, still commands respect and interest. And have a large and dedicated fan base. The first 30 minutes features the classic “You” line-up including Daevid Allen, Steve Hillage, Pierre Moerlen and Didier Malherbe. The remaining five tracks on the album come from various sources and are all previously unreleased tracks. A must for any serious Gong fan."

Formed in 1969 by Daevid Allen, one of the founding members of Soft Machine, classic albums such as ‘Camembert Electrique’, ‘Flying Teapot’ and ‘You’ established Gong as one of the most unique, innovative and experimental rock groups of the Seventies.

As interesting and fun as the Daevid Allen period was, the name Gong became more meaningful in the context of the music as percussionist Pierre Moerlen assumed the role of bandleader. An emphasis on percussives of all sorts became clear on Gazeuse!, the band's first completely instrumental album, and the music became much jazzier, though never considered jazz.
