Gong - Continental Circus
Recorded in May 1971 for the 1972 motorcycle film of the same name, the original vinyl LP contained four tracks and was just 34 minutes long. This 2011 CD from the Swedish label Flawed Gems contains ten bonus tracks and has a running time of 78 minutes. The four LP tracks sound as good here as they did on vinyl: "Blues For Findlay", "What Do You Want?" (used as "Fohat Digs Holes In Space" on Camembert Electrique), "Blues For Findlay - Instrumental" and "Continental Circus World". If you've never heard the old vinyl album then it's hard to describe this even to a Gong fan. It's straight, heavy and mostly instrumental with two guitars, drums and saxophone/flute and the vocal bits from Gilli Smyth and Daevid Allen (whose glissando guitar effects create the spaced-out psychedelic feel of the album). On the downside there is "Continental Circus World" which is more of a motorcycle racing film soundtrack excerpt. It's an album I'm glad I re-purchased on CD and what makes it so attractive now to Gong fans are the ten bonus tracks. There's the 1970 non-album single "Est-Ce Que Je Suis", its B-side "Hip Hypnotise You" and eight additional audio tracks taken from some of Gong's French TV performances: "Dreamin' It" from 1970, "Never Fight Another War", "Excerpts From Camembert Electrique" and "Est-Ce Que Je Suis" from 1971, "Fohat Digs Holes In Space" and "Dynamite" from 1972, and "I Never Glid Before" and "I Am Your Pussy" from 1973.

ProtoGong - and excellent.
Notoriously hard to find (or prohibitively expensive) here it is in all its glory... Lacking the space vibe of synths you might expect, its a kind of protoGong, but within the constraints of the contract, it's excellent. Daevid Allen never lets you down - and the bolt-on extras of early Camembert Electrique live and French TV goodies are well worth the hearing. Maybe this isn't necessarily the material to seduce no Gong-heads - maybe it is. I love it.
