Album Notes & Community Reviews

Serving as the breathtaking conclusion to their sprawling 'Radio Gnome Invisible' trilogy, Daevid Allen's Gong achieved absolute peak cosmic transcendence. 'You' is an incredibly hypnotic, intensely psychedelic space-rock masterwork, balancing wonderfully playful, drug-fueled science fiction narratives with remarkably progressive, highly atmospheric jazz-rock fusion.
