PM:GONG - Expresso - Le Grillen, Colmar

[@oneworld9071]

When it transcends the ridiculous........ WOW!!! In early 80's I had a twice-per-week show on a non-profit FM station in which I'd put percussionists in the spotlight; there was a sudden passionate pursuit of Pierre Moerlen's music when I'd found Expresso in the station's library....... On one show I'd aired "Jingo Lo Ba" by the composer Babatunde Michael Olatunji , followed by Santana's version and Gong's version :) I've often used Pierre's albums as sources of learning, especially in terms of time signatures and as for analytical listening, Gong contributed quite a lot. Thanks for sharing this gem. The entire band is fantastic; from this guitarist's POV that guitar lead part is an achievement :) Awesome players.

Each and every one of those musicians is a virtuoso. But the wonder is that not only can they be individually extraordinary, but they can also work so closely together. What skill.

I remember the only time I've seen Pierre Moerlen's Gong in Italy, in 1982 or 1983. Then I've seen Pierre with the Brand X in June 1997. And finally I've known Benoit on January, the 17th 2012 at New Morning for the hommage à Faton Cahen!

C'est avec 'Gazeuse' que je suis rentré par suite dans le jazz. Expresso un tournant dans l'univers de Gong.

[@youfools]

What an incredibly complex, but beautiful piece of music!

[@albertoteodori4186]

Bravi ragazzi, siete guidati dallo spirito di Pierre!! Quando in Italia??

[@ilariasusanne]

Anch'io vorrei tanto che venissero in Italia.....

Saw this played live in 76/77 at the Bristo Street Edinburgh University students' union. Fantastic! However, for the life of me, I cannot remember whether or not Holdsworth was on lead guitar for that gig. Can any Pixies out there help me?

[@keiitikawai2747]

こう聴くと、改めて、いい曲ですね。また、モエルランやホールズワースらの演奏力がいかに高かったか、ということを思い知らされます。もちろんこの曲にチャレンジしたこの方たちも素晴らしいです^_^
