The Psychedelic Scene [Import]

Product Description
Import only collection of bands signed to the Decca/Deram label. Those of you who draw inspiration from that transitional era 1965 to 1971 will no doubt be familiar with the "Circus Days" & the "Rubble" series. This CD focuses much more tightly on the years 67-68. Lyrically, the usual naive early psychedelia subject matter are present and correct:dreams/mind/colours/night/sadness and general surrealness crop up regularly. Musically,'Strawberry Fields' and 'I Am The Walrus' influences are sprayed all over this record like a day-glo rash, but unfortunately most of the time it's carried off with less panache than the Fabs. Included is the The End's Traffic-influenced 'Shades of Orange' (with Charlie Watts guesting on tabla, Stones' completists!!) Similarly the tracks by Curiosity Shoppe, The Attack, The Accent and Human Instinct all start off with a good idea that doesn't quite gel, but again, are very listenable. Universal.

Simply amazing!.......2007-04-01

While always a big fan of the first two Soft Machine albums (as well as the early recordings issued as 'Jet Propelled Photographs'), they started to lose me as the rock became jazz. Time moves on, however, and I am now fully in love with 'Third'! It grew on me over the years, but with this amazing new remaster, it now sits alongside those first two as an equal yet very different animal. 'Moon In June' is still the tops here featuring the genius of Robert Wyatt, while 'Out Bloody Rageous' is simply breathtaking. The sound on this re-issue is just fantastic--so clear and sharp! The bonus disc of BBC recordings is a wonderful addition and a very nice booklet too. Highly recommended!!

hallelujah! finally, this masterpiece gets the remastering it deserved........2007-03-19

one of the first scribblings i ever put out on amazon was a cry for somebody to remaster this great album. the original cd version had about as bad a sound quality to it that you can get. now that egregious error has been corrected. this masterpiece is finally available in a rich wonderful sound. and you even get liner notes and a bonus disc of a live performance done at a classic music festival broadcast on bbc 3 in 1970, the same year this album was recorded. soft machine took their name from a william burroughs novel, and nowhere else in their discography does that seem more appropriate than on this recording. the sounds here (which are an energetic fusion of avante-garde jazz and wildly creative rock) are completely iconoclastic in spirit, just as mr burroughs novels are in the world of literature. there is a pure vibrant joy of self-expression that blasts forth from this music. i can listen to it again and again and it always sounds new and fresh. soft machine made several excellent albums, but this is their best. a true masterpiece of cutting edge art.

The best this landmark classic has sounded on CD!!! This great remastered Sony/BMG 2-CD Set is Out-Bloody-Rageous!!!.......2007-03-11

This is the best that Soft Machine's "Third" album has ever sounded on CD!!!This great import 2-CD set from Sony/BMG includes the landmark classic double album on Disc 1(all four classic side long compositions!) , And a bonus live concert Recorded At The Royal Albert Hall on Disc 2(originally released as "Live at the Proms on the Reckless label")!!! This release puts other CD editions of "Third" to shame!!! It sounds that good!!! For example,you can hear the sqeak of Robert Wyatt's bass drum petal on his composition "Moon In June" and Hugh Hopper's "Facelift" has much improved sonics,stuff like that!!! Every one of these side long classics sounds awesome!!! And the bonus live CD is the icing on the cake!!! Also includes a cool booklet full of great photos and detailed liner notes!!! The sound is much more fuller and full of detail,thanks 24-bit remastering from the original tapes!!! An awesome release!!! Two thumbs up!!! Way up!!! A+

A Collage Of Sound @ Color For All Those Wanting To Get Into The Know.. .......2007-03-09

The Soft Machine left a legacy, this innovative talented 60's UK band were totally unnventional,rocked,jazzed,sang all in a totally creative fashion not comparable to any in a class all their own.
Yet there is beauty and total structure..Art and music meet.
This CD is a bargain fusing their 1st 2 albums with glorious sound and original artwork intact.
Vol 1 1s easier to grasp than Vol 2 and by Vol.3 the Softs were known to most achieving critical acclaim.
Also check out the 2 CD sets of their BBC Recordings for a taste of this exciting era.

Don't Be Sorry My Friend.......2007-01-05

To each his/her own. The sound may have no "backbone" but the sonic miracles that this group consistently manages is the real experience. Go ahead and juxtapose Soft Machine with anyone else based purely on sound textures (the only real substance to be extracted from music of any genre). The harmonics is really what speaks to the music beast inside each of us. Lyricism, structure and "backbone" are meant to add only a subtle layer of abstraction which isn't absolutely necessary for pure bliss. Try it one time. Shut off the mind and open the heart. All worthy religions preach something similar. Please notice that I didn't only say "Shut off the mind". There is no suggestion of "dumbing oneself down" in order to heighten appreciation but rather to access a different pathway for a new experience. This is not only the fundamental pillar of wisdom but it proves to be vital for the maturation of the soul. All praises due to The Most High.

Sorry to disagree with all the raves, but.......2006-12-06

these guys are mediocre at best. There is a flash of real grooviness here or virtuosity there, but their sound has no backbone. Not at all at the same level with the best music of that era. . . Airplane, Doors, Hendrix, etc. . . It's just your average fuzzy BritTwittery. If you're looking for something similarly dated and far more mindblowing, I would advise you to save your money and purchase a good performance of Debussy Images et Estamps, or perhaps Ravel Ondine.

Excellent.......2006-08-07

I just got this records separately and I must say that I was very surprised, I was expecting somethig good but not outstanding from Pink Floyd's 'rival' band in the sixties.
Volume 1 is a psychedelic exploration, the good thing is that is not your typical flower album like Satanic Majesties, Sgt. Pepper or Forever Changes, it is instrumental in most part and is more jazzy than rock. Volume Two continues the evolution towards a more experimental approach musically and instrumentally, in which neither rock nor jazz or psychedelia are predominant, is just The Soft Machine Style.

I can understand some good rock fans not digesting very well this music, a reviewer compared it negatively with Jimy Hendrix; while they indeed are from the same period, this music is a very different league: the guitar is not the main instrument, in fact there is very few of it. There is some of rock, more of jazz, weird keyboards and piano, horns freestyling and excellent drumming; this band, they are all great performers and musicians.

The best thing is that Soft Machine were not reaching for commercial recognition, they followed completely their own artistic rules and that makes this band the very few in a million. Music like this is very rarely made nowdays, highly recommended to fans of classic rock (a la Frank Zappa, Pink Floyd, King Crimon) and fussion / jazz (Miles Davis' Bitches Brew, Jack Johnson tribute; Sun Ra) that do not think the hardcore way.

Five Stars for the Music,Two for the CD.......2006-02-23

The unlistenable CD prompts this review.The music is great,be assured of that.It is ingeniously inventive and highly imgainative lyrically while fully satisfying musicianship engages you with deft skill producing truely fun , pleasant and enjoyable aural fruit that's why i bought it but within seconds i was hearing distortion not associated with the playing,it was a poor CD mastering job in my opinion then the skips.....skips,skips and more skips.Little one second dead spots.Enough to get blood pressure up.The disc is going back but i won't be buying another from this label.I'll take Vol.Three from Sony in exchange thank you.Great music of course right?Don't hesitate to buy the seperate original recordings remastered if you like intelligent fun.A study of that phenomenon referred to as Dada said to influence these blokes could benefit in getting underneath the the psycology of the music.Whatever its real nature or influence the track on Volume 2 titled;Dada was here is a beautifully refreshing piece sung aentirely in Spanish and if that embodies any aspect of this 'movement' it gets my hearty applause as it really conveys a whimsical elegance that lends a deep satisfaction to ones contemplation of life. Enjoy..........

I Have Seen The Way, and it is is OILY!!!.......2006-07-08

A TON of fun - superbly executed and clearly remastered sounds!!

This is like early Pink Floyd - if Sid had remained in the group!
This is like King Crimson WITHOUT the technical chip on Fripp's shoulder - (...must...play....faster....)
This is like Zappa on mescalin!

This is post-Floyd psychedelia of a 'very high' calibre ;-)

Very well played space rock with a sense of humor.......2006-04-24

This excellent 1973 release by Gong was the second installment in the Radio Gnome Trilogy. The lineup on this album is absolutely classic Gong and includes Tim Blake (VCS3 and mini-moog synthesizers); Pierre Moerlen (drums); Mike Howlett (bass); Daevid Allen (guitar, vocals); Didier Maherbe (woodwinds); Steve Hillage (guitar); and Gilli Smyth (space whisper, vocals). A great deal of the music on Angel's Egg is very spacey, which is driven largely by Tim Blake's atmospheric synthesizer work, along with Gilli Smyth's cosmic and heavily-echoed "space whisper". On the other side of the coin however, is some seriously virtuosic drumming by Pierre Moerlen and alternately spacey and heavy guitar work by Steve Hillage. Bassist Mike Howlett is no slouch either and his thunderous playing really drives everything along. As a general rule, this band was always comprised of superb musicians and their ability to swing from jazz rock, to space rock, to spacey free-form and back again always impressed me. In addition to virtuosity, this music exhibits the quintessentially whimsical Canterburian sense of humor, which is expressed through the surreal and "dadaist" lyrics of Daevid Allen. EMI did a great job of remastering this album, and the 14 page booklet features liner notes that "explain" the premise underlying the Radio Gnome Trilogy (up through Part II at least), and discusses topics including the Planet Gong; Master of the Spheres; Octave Doctors; Pot Head Pixies and the like. In addition to the original album, there are five bonus tracks including a single version of Other side of the Sky, the outtake Ooby-Scooby Doomsday or the D-Day DJ's got the DDT Blues, a vocal mix of Love is How Y Make It, and an early version of Eat that Phone Book Coda. Overall the bonus tracks are OK, and with the exception of the excellent Ooby-Scooby, do not add too much to the original album. Fortunately, EMI did not use copy control technology on this album, so playback problems should not be an issue. This album is very highly recommended along with Magick Brother (1970); Camembert Electrique (1971); Flying Teapot (RGI Pt. 1) (1973); and You (RGI Pt. 3)(1974).

Excellent remaster.......2005-07-06

Like most of Gong's albums, this has been released on CD a number of times. The CD's have varying sound quality. They weren't horrible, but they weren't great. This remaster has excellent, beautiful sound. It really brings out the atmosphere of the music.

The original album was 45 minutes long. 15 minutes of extra tracks have been added, bringing the CD to just under 60 minutes. I don't think that any of the bonus tracks are all that great. They aren't bad, they just don't make it worth buying this if you already have an older copy.

This remaster has a nice 8 page booklet, containing the lyrics and all the info on Gong and the Pot Head Pixies. The only thing missing is the blue artwork that was on the inside of the gatefold of the original LP cover.

This is just another great Gong album. It has some of the spaciest and wildest music of any of the Gong albums. It also has a number of great songs. While it is very spacy, it is also very coherent and holds together well. The only downside is that there are a few short silly songs.

This album is as good as You, but somewhat different. There are more songs, and they are a bit shorter than what is on You.

Gong released 3 albums in the 1970's dealing with Radio Gnome Invisible and the Pothead Pixies (Flying Teapot, Angel's Egg and You). In all, Gong released 5 to 7 albums in the 1970's (depending on how you are counting) before splintering. The leader of the band, Daevid Allen left, and the remainder became a jazz fusion band.

Throught the eighties, Allen would reform the space version of Gong, and the jazz version got renamed Pierrie Moerlen's Gong. The jazz band disbanded in the eighties.

Allen reformed Gong permanently in the late nineties, and the band has put out a number of studio and live albums. They are all very good. The last three studio albums have carried on the story of the Pot Head Pixies.

This is as good as they say!.......2007-03-07

If you are a fan of fusion or modern electric jazz, this one stands out as being particularly magical. The compositions, instrumentation, and arrangements take this group far outside of the realm of the ordinary. There's just something curiously compelling about the combination of bass, drums, saxophone, flute, vibes/marimba, and rock guitar. The only other group that approaches this is Scott Henderson's early Tribal Tech...which was no doubt influenced by releases like this one. By all means, check this out!

HYPNOTIC! ease into it and enjoy........2006-07-16

if you are reading this review,I am prepared to assume you
have at least a passing interest in high quality,well recorded
jazz fusion.If I am correct,this may be one of your new favorite albums.
This was my personal first experience with giving GONG
a good listen.It will not be my last.This effort is a crisp,clean
mix of heavy guitar leads,mellow vibe-like sounds from
the keyboard instruments,and top notch jazz percussion.
Many of the GONG recordings have vocals on them--this disk is all instrumental.
Features Alan Holdsworth on guitar instead of Steve Hillage.
He does not miss a beat.
VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.this is a very worthwhile
expenditure of your entertainment $.

Gong - Gazeuse .......2006-02-28

Allan Holdsworth featured on all tracks. Even acoustic guitar on one track. Great extended drum solo in 7 also featured.

This prog fan likes this mallet-heavy jazz rock album.......2005-12-16

For those fans of the Daevid Allen period of Gong, the shift from spacey prog rock to the realm of jazz-rock starting with the transitional Shamal album in 1975 must have come as a bit of a shock. Notwithstanding, their jazz-rock output during the 75-77 period is actually quite good and mirrors the shift from prog to jazz-rock exhibited by a lot of prog bands in the mid-late 1970's (PFM comes to mind). The Gazeuse album was released in 1976 and marks the full-blown emergence of Gong as an instrumental jazz rock outfit. Featured prominently on the album is the "world class" electric and acoustic guitar playing of virtuoso Alan Holdsworth (Soft Machine, U.K.) along with the superb drum/percussion work of the late Pierre Moerlen. Holdsworth's blindingly fast, legato lines on the electric/acoustic guitar are truly something to behold - I can't think of many people out there that play like him. Other musicians on the album include fretless bassist Francis Moze (one of many imitators of Weather Report bassist extraordinaire Jaco Pastorius), sax/flute player Didier Malherbe (who left Gong after this album), percussionist Mino Cinelou, Benoit Moerlen on vibraphone, and Mireille Bauer on vibraphone, marimba, glockenspiel, and toms. It is worth noting that mallet instruments are featured quite prominently and their use sets Gong apart from other jazz rock groups of the time including the synth heavy works of Weather Report and the nearly inhuman, impossibly fast playing of the synth heavy Return to Forever. As somebody who listens to jazz rock in addition to (tons of) prog, I can say that as far as jazz-rock goes this is a pretty good album. From a composition perspective, the pieces are well-constructed and with the exception of a short (and blazing) drum solo by Pierre Moerlen, solos are not too intrusive. I also found that there is enough dynamic contrast and textural variation to keep my interest too - the album opens with a vigorous jazz-rock flourish on Expresso and closes on a contemplative note with the acoustic guitar and electric piano duet on Mireille. I guess I should just consider myself lucky because I can enjoy all of Gong's 1970's output - it seems as if hardcore fans of the Daevid Allen era Gong do not appreciate the Pierre Moerlen led version of Gong all that much. Accordingly, this album is highly recommended (without hesitation) to fans of jazz rock, open minded prog heads, and Gong completists.

gadzukes, it is Gazeuse!.......2005-09-15

what an eclectic mix of electric fusion! Alan Holdsworth leads this band of merry Frenchmen to a place visited by few bands. Eleventh House comes to mind. Syncapated rythyms with hot licks from all; with the kicker being the vibes player who follows the melody on most cuts parallel to the guitars and the keyboards. Get ready to wake up when you start spinning this disc. After 3rd time, you are still trying to get a grip on what they are doing, but they have you in their grip. Interesting and technical, funky and rock influenced. Not for the faint of heart. If you like Eleventh House or Tony Williams Project, or even Spock's Beard, you will love this older 80's wild ride...

Somewhat sleepy but definitely awake.......2007-07-20

By 1977, Gong was well integrated with the jazz rock world and this album nicely demonstrates that. Although perhaps not as vibrant and energetic as Gazeuse! (1976), I still feel that Expresso II (1977) is a great album of jazz rock that features mallet instruments and some tight playing. I have to say that this stuff is very different sounding from other jazz rock bands active at the time; and certainly in comparison with the American jazz rock bands - Gong's music seems to be more melodic.

The lineup on this album is different from the Gazeuse! lineup and includes the excellent electric guitar playing of virtuoso Alan Holdsworth (Soft Machine, U.K.) along with the superb drum/percussion work of the late Pierre Moerlen. Unfortunately, Alan is not featured as prominently on this album I would have liked - it is likely that his duties with U.K. at the time were preventing him with contributing as much (although he does rip it up on Sleepy). Other musicians on the album include fretless bassist Hansford Rowe, Benoit Moerlen on vibraphone, tubular bells, glockenspiel, claves, xylophone); Mireille Bauer on vibraphone and marimba; Ben Lozaga and Mick Taylor (lead and rhythm electric guitar); and Francois Causse (congas). Former Curved Air violinist Darryl Way even turns in a nice violin solo on Boring and Sleepy. All in all these guys are great players, with Pierre demonstrating his mastery of the drum kit throughout.

The pieces are well-constructed and solos are not too intrusive - generally speaking, ensemble work is favored and solos are only used as colorful accents. The pieces are also pretty interesting, with nice dynamic contrasts, and I love the use of the mallet instruments: they introduce a nice, earthy, textural element. I do feel however, that the energy levels are just a bit low on Expresso II and there are times when it seems like they are just going through the motions.

My complaints about energy levels aside however, this is generally a good album and is recommended to fans of jazz rock, open minded prog heads, and Gong completists. Recommended along with Shamal (1975) and Gazeuse!. For those folks that are curious about the psychedelic space-prog days with Daevid Allen, check out Angels Egg (1973) and You (1974). Both are incredible albums and extremely different from Gong's jazz rock output.

Gong - 'Expesso II' (Blute Plate/Caroline).......2006-02-10

Originally released in 1978,as this CD reissue turned out to be a bit better than what I had expected.I mean,with percussionist Pierre Morlen(R.I.P.)acting as band leader,plus the fact that guitarist Allan Holdworth was now in the group makes this a decent Daevid Allen-less Gong album.I've heard numerous long-time Gong fans mention how they really like this,yet more jazzy/Canterbury styled catalog title.Give it a chance.

Definitive jazz fusion gem!!.......2005-04-19

This disc is one of the works that defined the genre. Worth the price for Holdworth's playing alone. Simply a must have...

Ahhhh those mallets again.......2004-09-16

This version of Gong sure had a unique sound, utilizing a twin vibes/mallets frontline and propelled by Pierre Moerlen's firey drumming.

While not as compositionally strong as Gazeuse/Expresso, it still has more than its share of gems, enhanced by contributions from the likes of violinist Darryl Way and guitar maestro Allan Holdsworth.

Among my favoorite tracks are "Sleepy" which is anything but. This track features some of the spookiest Allan Holdsworth playing along with great eerie violin from Darryl Way and a cool hypnotic vibes/bass figure throughout most of the piece. The closer "Three Blind Mice" just tears the roof off the joint with everyone playing their hearts out, "Golden Dilemma" features a unique angular, piercing Bon Lozaga guitar solo and lots of mallet pyrotechnics.

The only weak track on here for me is "Heavy Tune" where Holdsworth takes a back seat playing a grinding rhythm guitar as ex-Rolling Stones axe-meister Mick Taylor takes center stage, and it kind of sticks out like a sore thumb. Not terrible by any stretch but not great either.

Despite that one misstep, "Expresso II" is sure to perk up the ears of anyone who enjoys unique progressive/fusion, and it's a double treat fo drumming and percussion/mallet percussion fans.

Expresso II ~ Gong.......2003-10-19

This album comes at the end of an era in the 70's when jazz rock bands such as Brand X, Bruford & Weather Report, injected some badly needed refreshing novelty value into jazz which had, & indeed has, seemingly become a tired art form, based on the same old cliches & licks.
Allan Holdsworth is as significant in the development of jazz rock guitar as Jimi Hendrix was to blues & pop rock guitar.
All the more surprising then, with Holdsworth being such an important instrumentalist, that someone pressumably chose to only utilise his instrumental skills on just three tracks of 'Expresso II' !
Fortunately this was not the case on Gong's excellent album 'Gazeuse' as Allan Holdsworth played a more significant role & the album is better for it. However, I still like 'Expresso II' if only for some of it's quirkyness.

Album Description

Their classic 1968 debut. Emerging from London's UFO Club scene at the same time as Pink Floyd, The Soft Machine was a near perfect merging of psychedelic rock, jazz, pop and avant-garde stylings. Featuring the trio line-up of Robert Wyatt, Kevin Ayers, and Mike Ratledge, this debut album was, as the original liner notes state, "the sound of music updated by the music of sound."

Just magnificent.......2007-07-26

I've had this treasure for well over thirty years now, and I'm still amazed at the depth and breadth of this album; it's pure magic. When I found out it had been re-mastered I had to get a copy. Really, it's like opening a door and letting in fresh air and crystaline sunlight. You'll be amazed at the brilliant job they've done on the new mix.
If you have Dolby Pro 2 on your surround amp and four speakers, you'll swear that the re-mix has four separate tracks.
Prepare to be stunned!

The Incognito Return of the Octave Doctors..........2007-06-28

When I first heard YOU, I thought it was the most odd and brilliant record I'd ever heard. It is the final act of a hippie-esque "smoke opera" that takes the now-venerable jam-band flights of trippy fantasy to new and dizzy heights. More akin to Ozric Tentacles than to the Grateful Dead, the tunes on this disc are challenging, mesemerising, and ultimately quite satisfying.

Steer clear if you're attached to traditional song dynamics, 2:45 bits of pop structure, or made nervous by music that carries you away.

Not a perfect album, but well worth the time and attention of the adventurous listener.

It's YOU only YOU!.......2007-04-10

There are no words for this unique sound. Simply amazing!

Gong's masterpiece.......2006-12-25

Psychedelic space-rock brilliance by an amazing band. The musicianship is unequalled.... as is the 'feel' of this record. Each and every band member gives a tour de force performance. Didier Malherbe's sax playing is breathtaking. Steve Hillage's guitar work, inspired.. especially on Master Builder. If any musical piece pulses with spacey wonderment better than the Tim Blake inspired 'A sprinkling of clouds' then I most definitely need to hear it. From start to finish, a fascinating experience and an amazing 50 minute journey into the mind of Daevid Allen. Listen to it alone with the lights off and candles on.... it will take you to a better place.

The most amazing album I can think of..........2005-10-18

I say so because I can't think of any other album in which this quality of musicianship is submitted to the task of such inspired lunacy.

Steve Hillage rocketing into space on guitar; Pierre Moerlen's frantic jazz pummeling on drums, and magical tuned percussion; Mike Howlett's funky-smooth pursuit of the cosmic groove; and Didier Malherbe's tasty soprano sax and flute musings--a crack band as good as any that EVER played rock music--accompanied by Tim Blake's divinely inspired ambient synthesizer landscapes, Daevid Allen's equally ambient glissando guitar, and the space whispers and instrumental contributions of various women named Yoni.

It's a once-in-a-millenium musical mix that would be noteworthy in and of itself, but shoots into the stratosphere because of the spiritual depth of Daevid Allen's psychedelic whimsy. Allen has written many provocative and beautiful songs, but this album is in my opinion his magnum opus, or the whole tamale if you prefer--the climactic story of everyman Zero the Hero "going round the circle of births and deaths" struggling, and failing, and struggling again to attain/maintain spiritual awakening--it's the story of everybody who ever tried. Accompanied by the musical equivalent of nirvana. (Most succinctly demonstrated by "A Sprinkling of Clouds", which is my favorite instrumental rock piece of all time--a piece of terrifying beauty, like looking into the face of God him/herself...really.)

This release of the album is lovingly, perfectly remastered, and packaged with intriguing drawings and photos of the band that give us a window into the time and place. It is the definitive CD release, and the best this incredible album has ever sounded. It is, as space-rock should be, not of this world.

Many albums of the psychedelic and prog eras came from the stance of presumed enlightenment, with variable musical and lyrical success. However, "You" manages to make the leap from merely inspired to INSPIRING--an actual album-length primer for the pursuit of enlightenment. It's no wonder the band as it was broke up after this album, when Daevid Allen walked away. There was really nowhere else to go but down, after achieving this dizzying height.

If I had to pick one obscure album that I wish that others could hear for their own sake, this would be it. It is, as I said, amazing--and if you have ever wanted to hear how great space-rock could be, you should take a chance on this marvelous disc.

Great job again Sony/BMG UK!!! The Soft Machine's "Six" album finally gets the 24-bit remastering that it truly deserves!!! Great sound all-around!!! This was originally releaesd as a 2 record album set(one record live and one record studio) in 1973,but now it's all on one nice shiny CD!!! Lots of that great one of a kind Soft Machine sound,played to perfection by John marshall,Mike Ratledge,Karl Jenkins(His debut!)and Hugh Hopper(His farewell Soft's recording)!!! Truly great prog-rock!!! A great spin!!! Two thumbs up!!! Five stars!!! A+

transitional album .......2007-03-14

I was surprised at how good this album actually is. At the time of its release Elton Dean had left a new Karl Jenkins had entered the fold. Robert Wyatt and Phil Howard were gone replaced now by John Marshall. Half of this album are live tracks recorded at the very begining of this lineup the other half is a studio album. Both are transitional in that the live material show how fast karl Jenkins had taken control of the band. Hugh Hopper playing is fantastic sadly this would be his last album he would record with the Softs. The studio section show a new direction of what the band had they developed more with Hugh Hoppper gone into. This would be one of the last great classic Soft Machine albums ... Seven while good was written very hastly and the compostions were never developed properly. Shortly after the release of this album and prior to the release of Seven a rumor circulated that Soft Machine Members were to join up with John McLaughlin one can argue how good or bad that would have been. Most fans of Soft Machine will enjoy six a soild affair and a classic. This particular reissue sound quality is very good. I am comparing this to the One way release. The sound improvement is in the hiss and general brightness of the recording. It pretty much a wash if you have the japanese import copy. Each one of the reissues come with pretty much the same artwork and booklet adding information to each reissue.

Album Description

1973's Flying Teapot is a Gong milestone. It's the first installment in their legendary "Radio Gnome Trilogy" and a transitional point between the underground psychedelia of Camembert Electrique and the artier, more ethereal sound they later developed. Teapot is more visceral, less cerebral than its successors, and the catchy ensemble riffs of Camembert are still present. The arrival of virtuoso guitarist Steve Hillage and synth wizard Tim Blake represented a great leap forward, though. Blake concentrated exclusively on ambient electronic effects and soundscapes a la early Hawkind, leaving harmonic development to the other band members. Hillage's fleet-fingered jazz-rock solos and arsenal of effects upped the musicianship a notch and reinforced the spacy jazz elements already in place. Whether you're able to follow the willfully confusing storyline or not, the elaborate mythological world created by Daevid Allen is loads of fun when wrapped around music as inspired as this psychedelic art-jazz-space rock amalgam. The key players are a group of gnomes from another planet who arrive in a flying teapot (stoner imagery plays heavily in hippie Allen's vision) to save the world (or something). Actually, some surprisingly intellectual/philosophical messages were contained in the trilogy, leavened heartily by the irrepressible Allen's healthy sense of humor. Charly. 2004.

Customer Reviews:

Just a collection novelty tunes (and poor ones at that).......2006-06-16

I've read the praise- space jazz, counter culture masterpiece, quirky absurdist humour. Sounds interesting on paper but this album is in reality nothing more than a collection of novelty tunes interspersed with pointless sound effects and lame instrumental "noodling". "Neil" from the British comedy series The Young Ones released an album of 60s and 70s hippy tunes called "Neils Heavy Concept Album" which was a spoof. You may have heard the song Hole In My Shoe from that album. Imagine an album containing much worse versions of that and that prety much sums up Flying Teapot by Gong. I'm pretty open minded about music and enjoy most forms, but this remains one of the worst albums I've ever had the misfortune to purchase.

I admit I did laugh out loud a few times at just how pathetic this album could get, but even such lowbrow humour moments aren't enough to make me give this anything other than 1 star.

Spinal Tap was a spoof of heavy metal bands. Sounds like most hippy bands of the early 70s didn't actualy require anyone to parody them.

An excellent album that was apparently remastered in a back alley .......2006-05-13

Gong's first release for Virgin Records was released in 1973 and marks Pt. I of Daevid Allen's masterwork, the Radio Gnome Invisible trilogy. The other albums in the trilogy include Pt. II Angels Egg (1973), and my personal favorite, Pt. III You (1974). Sadly, Daevid Allen left Gong after the You album, taking his hilarious and seemingly magical world of protagonist Zero the Hero, Pot head pixies, octave doctors, crystal machines, and the like with him.

The six tracks on this great album range in length from 1'51" to 11'52" and feature an excellent blend of synth heavy space rock, space whispers, really silly (and fun) absurdist humor, prog rock rave-ups, jazz rock, and all around excellent individual and ensemble playing. Speaking of which, although this lineup is not the classic Gong lineup featured on Angels Egg and You, all of the band members are excellent and a few of the elements that made those later albums incredible are in place. Specifically, newly acquired guitarist extraordinaire Steve Hillage and synthesizer player Tim Blake had signed on. In fact, Tim Blake's spacey VCS3 and mini moog synthesizer work really makes this album work for me and he is highlighted on the short synth piece The Octave Doctors and the Crystal Machine. In addition to bandleader Daevid Allen (guitars, vocals) and space whisperer/Welsh poet Gilli Smyth, former Magma bassist Fancis Moze, Didier Maherlbe (saxophone, flute), and excellent drummer Laurie Allen played on this album.

OK, now for the bad stuff. Although the music on this album is incredible, the 2005 remastering effort by Charly is simply atrocious and it appears that Flying Teapot may have in fact been remastered in a back alley. The cover art is "pixelly" and grainy and it appears that the cover art may have been simply scanned from "Joe's copy" and then edited by someone who did not have a clue as to what they were doing. Even the inner photos appear to have been scanned and are also grainy and "pixelly". In fact, one of the images appears to have been borrowed from the remastered version of Angel's Egg issued by EMI. The sound quality is also terrible, and has all of the texture and dynamic range you might expect from a beat up cassette tape (made in 1973) being played on a cheap, portable tape recorder at a distance of 300 meters. Specifically, the overall sound is low and muffled, and there are points where there is severe distortion.

I will not however, let the clowns over at Charly ruin this fantastic album for me and I will still give this album a five star rating in spite of it all. For those of you that are not as forgiving and cannot overlook these problems, I would strongly urge you to look around and track down another version.

All in all, this album is highly recommended along with Camembert Electrique (1971), Angel's Egg (1973), and You (1974). Just avoid any of the lousy versions issued by Charly.

ideas not fully formed.......2005-09-24

to my dissapointment, not everything by the original daevid allen era gong is indispensable. this is radio gnome invisible pt. 1 with the finest space rock lineup anyone could hope for but the final result of this album comes of sounding like a tentative rehearsal where in many places allen scats some of the songs' improvisations and their arrangement lacks coherence and development. instrumentation is limited to supporting the vocals and chants and rarely gets the opportunity to expound any ideas or feel each other out. in the end, daevid allen displays some infectious song writing ability but it appears that the new members just weren't ready to record yet. this is steve hillage's first appearance for gong but you wouldn't know it as his guitar is barely noticeable. things change remarkably for the next albums 'angels egg' and 'you' which are two of the greatest psychedelic albums ever recorded.

The Formal Start of the Tea Ceremony - Hymns Disguised as Whimsy.......2005-08-14

This is the start of the "Radio Gnome Trilogy" in which Daevid Allen and Gong lay out the full mythology of the Planet Gong and the Pothead Pixies. Calling this "jazz-rock" is completely misleading though it certainly has elements of both. It is the first fully formed expression of the unique sound developed by Gong and used by Daevid and the band to convey profound thoughts in a very silly and beautiful manner. Profoundly psychedelic, this is music intended to be listened to in an altered state, and it is designed to fit together with the following two parts of the trilogy ("Angel's Egg" and "You"...both equally essential). Buy all three albums - program them into a CD changer - prepare your head and don headphones - then get ready for a journey you will never regret. This IS "Lafta Yoga" - Electric Dharma. Hare hare London Bus!!!"

Daevid Allen is the George Clinton of Jazz Rock part 1.......2004-11-26

Strong statement to start a review I know, but here are the reasons. Both Daevid and George held large groups of disparate and talented musicians together for several years, gave them alternative names, and got them to buy into their own unique vision of the world. Both visions included fictitous characters acting out complex plots using a unique language and imagery. Both created music that broke down barriers between established musical forms and molded the pieces into something new and undefinable. Both are very funny men (in more ways than one you could say).

Flying Teapot is part one of the Radio Gnome trilogy of albums (Angel's Egg and You are the others).This is the album that introduces us to Zero the Hero and the Pothead Pixies and includes stories of inner/outer space travel in flying teapots and encounters with wicked witches. With only a handful of very long tracks you need to sit down and get involved for the first couple of runs through, but after a while Steve Hillage's guitar and Blomdido Bad de Grasse's sax will hook you into the hypnotic mantras of "Zero the Hero", "The Pothead Pixies" and "Flying Teapot". After that all resistance will be futile and you'll find yourself chanting "I am, you are, we are crazy" along with everyone else. There are only a couple of weaknesses with the whole thing, but of the trilogy, this is the most straight ahead and rock based. Start here and work through Angel's Egg in to You. It could change the way you look at, well, everything really.
