- gong: unending ascending
(2023, cd, --, kscope)
Psychedelic / progressive rock band Gong was formed in 1967 by Daevid Allen and Gilli Smyth.
Daevid Allen passed away in 2015, but he had asked the band to continue performing and had suggested Kavus Torabi to become the new frontman of the band.
"Unending Ascending" is the third or fourth release in the post-Daevid Allen period. The album features Kavus Torabi (guitar, synth, vocals), Ian East (sax, flute), Fabio Golfetti (guitar, synth, vocals), Dave Sturt (bass, vocals) and Cheb Nettles (drums).
The band sounds great, especially in the vocal section.
Gong will be touring the UK together with The Ozric Tentacles next year, for the biggest part of March.
And word has it that the band will be performing at Zappanale in 2024.
Something to look out for.
