Thanks! Found it!
Just freaking out a bit about finding out they are playing Montreal. 5-6 hour road trip, but we're doing it! Saw a couple vids of the new band, they are killer, can't wait till the 22nd!
Yeah, current line-up is great.

I blame Wynton, what was the question?
There are only 10 types of people in the World, those who understand binary and those that don't.
While I might enjoy a band playing some kind of Gong music without Daevid and Gilly, I do think a version of Gong without Daevid is like a version of, just as an example, Roy Harper without Roy Harper. Or Fish without Fish.
Of course it is! Lot of life left in the Gong band.
I want to dynamite your mind with love tonight.
Really dude? Can you have a more close-minded opinion on this? Have you listened to a word about what Daevid stated on this topic, or better yet, the last album? Sorry for this negativity but jeez louise....
I agree, this line up has Daevid's blessing and more importantly the last couple of albums sound like Gong. Of course that position also discounts some excellent Pierre Moerlen albums.

Can you please read the first part of my post as not to take this last part out of its context, please??
No offence meant to Kavus& his Co.... and yes I'm aware of Daevid's post-mortem wish, and I respect it, despite how you twist my words.
Again, as I said Shamal is as equally good as Espresso and Gazeuse and IMHO form a Gong trilogy of its own... It's justy out of the RGI boxset, none of those three belong in there (if any other album should be part of RGI, it should be Camembert, not Shamal
my music collection increased tenfolds when I switched from drug-addicts to complete nutcases.
OK, I read the first part of your post, and I see that it has nothing to do with "No Daevid" thing. So how am I exactly twisting your words Hughes? I'm not looking to pick a fight nor do I usually do that shit, but I just find it disrespectful to the current incarnation of this band who are out there carrying the torch (as it were) for OUR benefit, but you seem to go in the whole thing with your eyes closed and your fingers plugging your ears because Daevid's missing? This was never intended to be part of the Trilogy either if that is what you mean? I am in no way trying to twist your words - maybe I'm still not understanding them?Can you please read the first part of my post as not to take this last part out of its context, please??

PS - music is music - FUCK labels.
If it isn't Krautrock, it's krap.

GONG is cancelled in Montreal...? If true can someone suggest an alternative for TH nite. Already have a hotel etc. Are there any jazz clubs or maybe I should be going to a blues festival?
Oh I agree that Camembert should be in a RGI focused box ahead of Shamal.

I'm going to Aux 33 Tours and Fresson Rock. Kids will be off to Brandy Melville.

Now that you've reread my full post: obviously, my "No Daevid , no GonG" is about the 70's (and RGI and the boxset to come), not the 10's version of the band.
And when I speak about Shamal, Espersso and Gazeuse, like many GonGheads, we would've preferred that they'd be called Pierre Moerlen's Gong like their later album would be.
Not trying to pick a fight, you say?? I'd like to believe you, but if anyone should've, maybe it should've been Kavus, not you.
BTW, if I was a GonG addict it was until Zero to Infinitea... not really a fan of Acid Motherhood, 2032, ICU and Rejoice but I own all four, and think Rejoice is the best of the lot.
I saw them roughly 15 times (inluding the Unconvention in A'dam) between 95 and 05, but only twice since 2032 (but once, I travelled to London's RFH to see Giraudy & Hillage's return to the band >> was fairly disappointed)
my music collection increased tenfolds when I switched from drug-addicts to complete nutcases.
Goblin is at the Fairmount in Montreal on November 22nd. Performing the Suspiria soundtrack with a screening of the movie.
1) The biggest news for me is that they have the You Quad mixes
back in the day one of the three was mixed for those with 4 ears, so it was thought why not give it a buff and polish and include it...
2)"Mike Howlett's response on hearing Simon Heyworth's re-mastered 'Shamal' for the Universal Gong box-ette release.
"Just finished listening through and it sounds brilliant! I love what you have done to the bottom end - bass is much warmer but the kick hasn’t got boomy or lost it’s punch and the top end has retained presence - excellent!
Cheers Mike"

WOW ! Whatever the final version will be, this looks more and more attractive... too much spoilers and announcements but the question is WHEN will this boxset be available at last. Anyone knows ?
2032 !!
That's nice ! Leave me plenty of time to raise the funds. I suppose it will be released in KZ*Ultra+Codec515 18 channel interactive FTP (Flying TP) format ? If not, I'll pass...2032 !!
It will be sold exclusivley on Planet Gong which can only be reached by a Flying Teapot Taxi
I seem to recall you are one of those who do not care much for surround mixes (which I fully understand but don't agree with)
What has changed regarding this mix?

Its not that I don’t care for surround
I do like it when used creatively
But often dislike taking a classic album and dissecting it across multiple channels in a formulate manner
in this case it was done by the band in their heyday
So the spirit of the times is still there so its authentic
