    He's really busy now, he mentions he spent L 1200.00 on postage just the other day...

    It is bought. I’m listening to it right now for the first time and it sounds wonderful. Well done, non-classic lineup!

    Played the whole thing. "Through Restless Seas I Come" is my early favorite. Beautiful tune.

    My first repeater was 'Kaptial' Man... wish it was longer!

    Got my 5.1 copy, man what a beautiful package and book!
    Am now having my first listen and can concur- this definately sounds fresh while retaining the Gong DNA.
    It even has glimpses of Allen, Malherbe and Hillage and they all sound so natural with this formation.

    Wow, energetic and powerful album. Best Gong I heard for ages.

    Sadly I can't compare with I See You, as every time I order that album I get either nothing or something totally different...

    Has anyone in the US received their 3 disc edition from GAS yet? Itchy, itchy, itchy...

    Got it today, Oct 3rd, from GAS.

    Man, the 5.1 is awesome. Love that track "The Unspeakable Stands Revealed". In fact, with the exception of "Beatrix", it's an incredible solid and cohesive ride. Second disc is interesting as well, definitely bridges the tie-in with ICU band and Daevid.

    My hats off to this Gong band. Doubtful I'll see them stateside, but here's to gong dreamin....

    Arrived today. Thanks, Jonny! Very happy that Gong is still going and that this is the way they're going.

    Anyone else have an upside down booklet in their three disc version?

    Still love this band!

    Does anyone know who wrote „Model Village“? LOVE that tune. (Only bought the download and it came without a PDF.) The lyrics are very Twilight Zone-ish. Ray Davies in his prime couldn’t have done it better. The music is lovely as well. Whoever wrote it should get a raise.

    Fabio Golfetti sings on that one, but Sturt wrote the lyrics. Credits are to the band...

    Bought the CD version last w-e (cheap too >> 12.00€)and I spun it a few times... I definitely prefer the (longer) stuff that comes on the second vinyl disc.

    Hillage & Malherbe turn-up to give it a certain kind of legitimacy, but honestly , No Daevid,n no GonG (not that I liked 2032 or I See You much, anyways)

    Sorry Kavus...

    I'm hoping it will grow on me.

    I've really been enjoying this disc since I got it. No doubt it will be in my Best Of 2016 list in a couple of months' time!

    Oh I think its wonderful. I love the song "Rejoice" but the whole album is great. Saw them last night, no synths, punky sound, old tracks played really fast and energetic. Ace, its a new Gong, I'm glad they're still around.
