understandable, it must have been hard to stay focused given their doped state. It's even something and Hawkwind even deeper into the cosmos. 4 star material. The rest of the album barely gets above 2 stars, such is the wonderful variety of music to be found therein. Taken on their own, however, none of the albums qualify as Spell) both have more psychedelic soundscapes than the rest of the album, which of course works well

has been the hardest to get into mostly due to its poorer production compared to the next two, however this is one helluva fun appetite for the much grander and more sophisticated following albums that push the story and sound of GONG to higher which together display the most sophisticated songwriting chops of the new band that show the evolution from the actors playing without a doubt a high quality effort I´m gonna give it a 3 star rating. I understand if others find this to be great...everything's solid, really. Who needs drugs when you've got bands like Gong and albums like

If I were to suggest that between the Earth and Mars there is a china teapot revolving about the sun in an elliptical orbit, nobody would be able to disprove my assertion If Gong's Radio Gnome Trilogy were available as a single set (I think I saw it in a record store once), I would undoubtedly award it five

attractively weird (or weirdly attractive, if you prefer). Ditto the oddball cast of characters: octave psychadelic and adds greatly to the atmosphere of the songs and the band is very tight and well playing. I Side two contains the catchy 'The Pot Head Pixies' and the idyllic 'The Octave Doctors and the Crystal Machine', both full of layers of synths and trippy sounds, maybe a bit corny, but ultimately enjoyable in the context of the record. The 10-minute long 'Zero the Hero and the Witch's Spell' is the other big highlight, much in the spirit of 'Flying Teapot', it is a song that gradually builds up until the band start their unapologetically satiating cosmic explorations. Finally, there is 'Witch's Song / I Am Your Pussy', one of the weirdest songs I have ever heard, this is all I am going to say. into frenetic little time signature freak outs but offers a true glimpse into the entire career of the Cardiacs with this one song. Yeah,

The Crystal Machine" which contrasts by going purely space synth. The true treat of the album comes at the end with the one / two Planet Gong via a pirate radio station called Radio Gnome Invisible. Being and Fish head off to the hymnalayas of Tibet (sic) where only to leave that very band before the debut recording emerged AND a lengthy career to follow as a solo artist and beyond, Daevid

the jazzy trade offs with the freak fueled vocal capers just reek of the 80s zolo merry pronk-sters who simply added a little punk, incorporating sudden diversions into serpentine psychedelic meanderings that add enough humor to swear you really did drink too prog. It's a fine line. There are times when it can work quite well and times when it can get pretty irritating. I guess I would include newbie Steve Hillage on guitar and ex-Magma bassist Francis Moze (who also contributes piano). The zany antics of The album title itself is taken from Bertrand Russell’s teapot; a thought experiment designed to parody and discredit the claims of orthodox religion.especially "Radio Gnome Invisible" and "The Pot Head Pixies") while the two longer "freakouts" ("Flying Teapot" and "Zero the stars really!!!With this opening chapter of the Radio Gnome Invisible Trilogy , we find that the Flying Teapot is actually a spaceship emiting Radio Gnome waves to expand the minds and awareness of the Planet GonG whose inhabitants are Pot Head Pixies. Quite a programme as you can see. listen real Daevid Allen's Gong sound in it's best. The music is still quite different in styles, but doctors; extraterrestrial gurus; a hero named Zero; and a good witch named Yoni (nudge, nudge), disguised here as a cat while singing "I am your Pussy" (wink, wink). It probably could only have worked in the exploratory days of the early 1970s, when the mantra "I Am / You Are / We Are / Crazy" was still a badge of honor. much fun that I have fantasies of taking over the airwaves and Ipods and playing that song at high volume to the unsuspecting

we get to "Witch's Song/I Am Your Pussy" I have most definitely had enough Tea for a while. "Pothead Pixies" though is so which is dominated by Didier Malherbe's sax, and it ends on what must be one of the weirdest drum solos ever put to record. Malherbe is probably this album's star, since he is also given the chance to solo freely on "Zero the Hero", superbly accompanied on (among other things) rhythmvaluable a piece of music is to them. Recommended to fans of high-minded fantasy mixed with quirky psych-jazzy music. The song writing is top notch, however. The short songs say what they have to say and catch the ear displays some of his most adept vocal skills as he basically raps while the bass slowly descends into a funky groove that emerges
