787.0. "Any GONG freaks out there ?" by DECWET::THOMAS (A legend in his own lunchtime) Fri Jun 12 1987 22:15

    According to my Scwann catalog, Gong's first two albums (from way
    back when) have just been released on CD. They are :
    
    		Magick Brother (Charly CD-31)
    		Camembert Electrique (Charly CD-11)
    
    Any Gong freaks out there ?

    CAMEMBERT ELECTRIQUE has been on CD for at least a year.
    
    (No, I'm not a Gong freak, myself.)

    Camembert Electrique is, to be blunt, crap.
    
    And I LIKE Gong!
787.3compilation cd spottedCOMICS::HUDSONthat's what I thinkMon Jun 15 1987 04:446
    I've seen a CD compilation called 'A Wingful of Eyes', which I believe
    is made up of a collection of pieces from albums around the Gazeuse
    era I believe...

    Shows how up-to-date Schwann is, they have only just listed those
    CDs. Maybe Charly is a label that they haven't previously listed.
    
    Re: 787.2
    Well, it's always a matter of taste. Personally I think the band
    went downhill when Steve Hillage left. (Shamal was the first album
    of the post-Hillage era, and I thought it was too commercial compared
    to their earlier stuff). I don't even know if they still exist.

    They should put *Angel's Egg* on CD. I always thought that was
    their best album with Allen/Hillage.
    
    And don't forget Bloomdido Bad de Grasse!
