This track is definitely playful as we begin to get closer to the end of our journey www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wu_u...

Here is the next track in you magical and mysterious journey through the musical landscapes of the Gong mythology. By this third album the band had matured musically & performatively, which I why I believe "You" to be the best album of the trilogy www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWKN...

Now we get to the next Track "Master Builder" listening to this album back in the mid 70's I did a great deal of trancework. All I'll say is that it is very floaty www.youtube.com/watch?v=yelK...

You can definitely hear the influence of Buddhist chanting here in track 3, a spirituality that laced through all 3 albums www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5l_...

By the time the band created this album with 2 behind them in the series their sound seems to have become more polished, the whimsy is still there but the music seems, to me at least, to have matured. This is Track 2 www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-oD...

And now we come to my personal favourite album of the "Radio Gnome Invisible" trilogy the album "You". I bought the Vinyl waaaaaaaaaay back in the 70's and played it over and over trancing out. This is track 1, it's short so I'll post 2 as well www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQ9P...

Today we finish Angels Egg by Gong with the final track from the album "Eat that Phone Book Coda" www.youtube.com/watch?v=3L36...

Back to Gong and we reach the penultimate track on Angels Egg www.youtube.com/watch?v=5kum...

I'll take a minor Break from my Gong postings because yesterday marked the 3 year anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine and today this popped up for me, so I share it with you. #SlavaUkrainii www.youtube.com/watch?v=M5SO...

To answer the question that has not been asked by anyone regarding why I am focussing so heavily on Gong and the Radio Gnome Invisible Trilogy. It's quite simple as a lover of Prog Rock I have long felt that Gong was overlooked by mainstream Prog reviews. www.youtube.com/watch?v=43K-...

And then proceed through the great columns and adjoining architraves having taken Tea with those representatives of the Hubble Bubble Tea Company of Tibet to track 10 the "Inner Temple" www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtKO...

So having taken the oily way you come to the Temple, first track 9 the "Outer Temple" www.youtube.com/watch?v=kayK...

One of my favourite tracks from this album is up next "Oily Way" www.youtube.com/watch?v=scbX...

And Track 7. I always felt that Gong were a very underappreciated band/collective www.youtube.com/watch?v=FaK4...

Track 6 www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJB1...

Gong tracks 5, 6 & 7 by now you can see that I like this band and what it did way back in the early 70's. This is track 5 www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFnc...

Track 4 "Prostitute Poem" begins with a slightly early Genesis soundscape then slides into a Parisian scene www.youtube.com/watch?v=x19Z...

I'll pop up tracks 3 and 6 as 3 "Castle in the Clouds" is not very long I personally love the Jazz style. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mvD...

Next up Track 2 from "Angels Egg" "Sold to the Highest Buddha". www.youtube.com/watch?v=spyD...

So to commence with the First Track of the second album in the Trilogy, Angels Egg. This track is called "Other Side of the Sky". So come with me as we slip and slide our way into more magical, mystical music down the oily way with Gong. www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6ZT...

Track 6 of "The Flying Teapot" first album in the Radio Gnome Invisible Trilogy. If we remember that among Gong's influences it includes Buddhism and other eastern religious and philosophical positions, the Witch Yoni represents sensuality in a physical manifestation www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWgg...

Track 5 in which we meet Zero the hero and witness the witches spell www.youtube.com/watch?v=3LXw...

Track 4 follows quickly as both 3 & 4 are short. Russell said that the burden of proof for the teapot theory was his to prove it's existence rather than for others to attempt to disprove it, & his allusion that this also applied to the existence of God www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7Sx...

Here we go with track 3 from the first album in the Radio Gnome Trilogy. There is a seriousness that underlies the whimsical as it was Bertrand Russell who used the analogy of a flying teapot orbiting the Sun too small to be detected ... www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhz2...

@hibou2.bsky.social Hello there thank you so much for the follow, I really appreciate it. In the words of Pink Floyd "Welcome to the Machine".

How to deal with an unreliable US ally? Well for a start Europe should start divesting themselves of US MilTech there are plenty of European alternatives many are actually cheaper. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ThN...

This is the same degree of evidence as Farage getting the lies he spread in the wake of Southport from a man under house arrest in Romania for alleged Sex Trafficking and possible pedophilia. Which then inflamed the Southport Riots aka the #FarageRiots.

So Gong were and are (yes they are still in existence despite deaths and line-up changes these 58 years later) often somewhat whimsical in the way they portrayed their music they were at their most progressive and explorative during the trilogy era. Track 2 www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIYC...

Well up until now I have been mostly putting up individual tracks that I like but now and over the next few days and weeks I think I want to take you on a musical trip. This is Gong join me for the Radio Gnome trilogy. First track, first album www.youtube.com/watch?v=8DIn...

I like this piece of music and as a #TTRPG fan this vibes for me www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDL6...

Ok I am still in a dark mood, I posted the Be Good Tanya's cover of this track a couple of months back but you deserve, my musical aficionados, to see the original www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-Rq...

Wasn't sure what to play today, but having been thinking about death quite a lot over the last few months I decided that this song was appropriate. www.youtube.com/watch?v=avX5...

@joesegal.bsky.social Well hello there thank you so much for the follow, I really appreciate it. In the words of Pink Floyd "Welcome to the Machine".

I was listening to this album in the car as I went shopping today thought you might like at least one track on a grey, damp, dank Saturday afternoon. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pict...

It appears that Tesla sales are suffering #FAFO in the wake of Musk's strange arm waving and support of the AFD in Germany. Shame on the UK for not cutting back on him so quickly. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbXF...

@paulhumble.bsky.social Well hello there, thank you so much for the follow, I really appreciate it. In the words of Pink Floyd "Welcome to the Machine".

Gong are a band I have enjoyed listening to they take me on flights of recreationally fueled flight of fancy in a similar, but slightly gentler, oily way to Hawkwind and it's descendants. Enjoy and be well www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMfV...

I'm watching our world become more divided, former friends begin to turn on us, hate rises in the guise of political parties, a war continues to rage in Europe on a scale not seen since World War II. So this song suits my mood today www.youtube.com/watch?v=90WD...

I remember hearing this song and really enjoying it www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpOS...
