Description:Das Debütalbum des legendären Musikers, der die Grenzen zwischen psychedelischem Rock und rauem krawalligem Dadaismus kühn verwischte. Der australische Sänger und Gitarrist Daevid Allen gehörte zusammen mit Schlagzeugern wie Robert Wyatt und Pip Pyle zur höchst experimentellen Canterbury-Szene, bevor er Ende der 60er Jahre nach Paris zog, Gong gründete und Musik machte, die eine seltene Mischung aus spontaner Kreativität und schrägem Humor enthielt. "Banana Moon" war jedoch ein Soloprojekt von Allen, bei dem er sich mit den bereits erwähnten britischen Seelenverwandten sowie mit dem Bassisten Archie Legget und der Sängerin Maggie Bell wiedervereinigte. Die neun Songs auf dem Album reichen von knapp einminütigen Zwischenspielen bis hin zu epischen Suiten, die mehr als zehn Minuten umfassen. Dabei wird deutlich, dass Allen, wie seine Arbeit mit Gong vermuten lie�, seiner Fantasie freien Lauf lie�, ob er nun Songs mit einem Quasi-Beatles-Pop-Appeal schrieb oder sich in hemmungslose klangliche Höhenflüge begab. Die Musik hat einen schrägen Charme, der zu den Fähigkeiten der Band passt, und in jedem Stück gibt es lyrische Kurvenbälle, so auch in "Fred The Fish And The Chip On His Shoulder". -
Daevid Allen / BANANA MOON The nine songs on the record run from interludes of just under a minute to epic suites that exceed ten, making it clear that Allen, as his work with Gong suggested, gave full vent to his imagination whether he was writing songs with a quasi-Beatles pop appeal or engaging in unrestrained sonic flights of fancy. With lyrical curveballs being thrown on every track, none more so than 'Fred The Fish And The Chip On His Shoulder', the music has a wry charm to match the performance skills of the band.
