Description:

Reissue on vinyl of the timeless 2014 album from Gong. I See You is both timeless and timely, a welcome antidote to an increasingly homogenised musical mainstream. Tracks such as 'This Revolution', a spoken piece which name-checks Gil Scott-Heron and picks up on the vibe of his â??The Revolution Will Not Be Televised', articulates the kind of concerns and theories that have always inspired Daevid Allen and informed the Gong worldview, contrasts with the ferocious inter-stellar Funk of 'You See Me', which has been live favourite since its release. 'Thank You' is a heavy slab of Psychedelic Blues, whilst 'Shakti Yoni Dingo Virgin' is a moody, melodic instrumental piece that serves to illustrate the immense musical firepower and musical diversity of Gong. -

Limited vinyl LP pressing of the timeless 2014 studio album from the enduring legend that is Gong. The band entered yet another new phase on their four-decades-plus journey with I See You, originally released on Madfish in November 2014. I See You was the last album they released before vocalist/lyricist Daevid Allen sadly passed away, and on this album, he radiated incandescent creativity, the original anarchic vibe that was born out of the counter-culture revolution in the Paris Commune in 1968. This line-up of Gong has an impressive, multi-layered and irrepressible sound that created it's own world and then populated it with a series of dazzling musical gems, melodically-rich, lyrically engaging and musically refreshed. I See You is both timeless and timely, a welcome antidote to an increasingly homogenized musical mainstream.
