Gong - Oily Way/Outer Temple/Inner Temple (1973)

[@mark240862]

Gong... The only Prog band that were sexy and groovy as well as being very complex. Loved it then and still love it now.

[@TreVader1378]

Oh yes.

Listening to this for 40 years now and it always sounds better every time ,shout-out to the PHP's.

I got into this away at Uni back in 1989 (35 yrs) . Recently rediscovered it as I went through my stack of LPs and am loving it.

@@giuliocaroletti this is some weird combo of oily way and a track from You, though. completely diffeent album. good mix. but wait a minute. is inner temple just an earlier version of The Isle of Everywhere? fuckkk mannn how is this band sooo goooddddddddd. put the kettle on

[@yaybestos]

Is right laa

[@dodibenabba1378]

😂 Phil Easton's Express if you're old enough!

[@davidframe8362]

I think I must have heard the same thing. I can't remember the dj, very famous and he had a request in for Oily Way from a listener but decided to play the whole LP. It wasn't the first time I'd heard them but a whole LP on British radio at that time was really different even though I was tuned in because the show played all the best new unfashionable music at the time, Angel's Egg was still farther out than any of it....and still is

[@dbyrd]

CKCU 93.1 in Ottawa, Canada plays Gong regularly. I've heard a tune from all of their albums even some of their new tunes c.2000+

[@SpillAudio]

Wow, only now did I discover that the first 36 seconds are actually the end of "Flute Salad". It definitely works as an intro, though. It also goes to show how well produced these tracks are that they transition between each other so seamlessly.

[@jaimiemcdonald6549]

The whole album was recorded live in one go in a forest outdoors at the Chateau in France where the all stayed

[@graxjpg]

jaimie mc donald the amount of overdubs in the album would disprove that, but their music is centered around interpersonal communication via their instruments, so it is all “live”

[@dodibenabba1378]

Better on vinyl...

[@timnicktion9744]

@@graxjpg i agree, there's pretty obvious tape cuts. somehow their obviousness only adds to the experience though imo. Gong is by far my fav band

[@timnicktion9744]

@@jaimiemcdonald6549 if you're looking for an album that was recorded entirely live in one go check out Peter Green's "The End of the Game", pretty sure thats what youre looking for. obviously they couldnt cut god knows how many hours of lysergic jamming onto vinyl so it is edited to some degree, pieces cut out of it. but i believe it is recorded all live, all in one night.

I love the Inner Temple glissando guitar. Pink Floyd's Syd Barrett taught Daevid Allen the technique. Steve Hillage learned glissando guitar from Daevid. Check out Hillage's song "New Age Synthesis" for Dave Stewart's glissando guitar and Hillage's amazing bass player too.

[@synthonaplinth5980]

Christian Boulé on rhythm and glissando guitar and Colin Bass (later of Camel) on bass, respectively.

[@johnyoung2701]

Christian Boulé and Colin Bass are not listed on the Angel's Egg album credits. Daevid Allen (glissando guitar) and Mike Howlett (bass) are listed; or were you referring to players on Steve Hillage's "New Age Synthesis"?

[@donyoung7874]

I totally missed this back in the 70's. Two things I did listen to, were Todd Rundgren's A Wizard, A True Star and Todd recordings, and I can hear things in this that sound similar to cuts on those records. I wonder if he listened to Gong. Edited: Since I've entered this Gong/Steve Hillage worm hole, I've found Todd was aware of Gong and produced Steve Hillage later in the 70's and in a way, Utopia was Gong Americanized. I don't know how I missed them and that none of my friends listened to them. Thank you for uploading this and giving me the ticket for my ride! I'm going to have some tea, iced.

[@steam_jane5580]

only found them recently on Spotify was listening to hot rats peachs en regela, realised I hadn't listened to Zappa in so long since going to university and then it took me to yellow snow one of my fav Zappa song as a child and from there I got to gong angel egg and now I am listening to them more and working out what I think. It's cool. I like mixing physical media, mainly CDs and records, mostly second hand with Spotify.

[@donyoung7874]

I just found Gong last month. No one I knew listened to them. I'd heard of Steve Hillage though. So what do you think now, four months later? I've been listening to Angels Egg and You a lot.
