The legendary psych-rockers return!
Compelling and other-worldly, `2032' represents the first time Steve Hillage has recorded with original Gong founder, Daevid Allen, since 1974's `You' album.
`2032' is a new instalment that continues Gong's famous `Radio Gnome' album trilogy which includes the milestone psychedelic progressive rock albums - `Flying Teapot' (1973), `Angel's Egg' (1973), and `You' (1974).
The band line-up on the album includes Daevid Allen (guitar, lead vocal): Steve Hillage (lead guitar), Gilli Smyth (Space Whisper and poetry), Miquette Giraudy (synthesiser), Mike Howlett (bass), Chris Taylor (drums), and Theo Travis (sax and flute).
Original Gong members Steve Hillage, Daevid Allen, Gilli Smyth and Miquette Giraudy, wrote the songs for `2032' when they were in Australia. The new album also grew out of the enthusiasm and fun the band experienced playing live together again.
Together with the rest of the band, Daevid and Steve have crafted a rich and fresh sounding powerhouse of an album that is a more than worthy successor to the legendary Radio Gnome trilogy that Gong released at their creative peak in the 70s.
Special guest performances on some tracks include former Gong member Didier Malherbe (soprano sax, duduk, and flute) and Yuji Katsui (electric violin) of the Japanese progressive/psychedelic jam band Rovo.
2032 is the year that the Planet Gong makes full contact with the Planet Earth and a major new chapter in the continually evolving Gong mythology, says Daevid Allen.
