#BandcampFriday 🧵 4/4: Absurd, anarchic, and powerfully psychedelic, “Camembert Electrique” is the second album by #Gong. Originally released in 1971, this iconic and influential recording is still devastatingly fresh sounding today. Weirdness, wisdom, outré rock as you’d expect from the founding-father of acid-rock #DaevidAllen. Available via #BYGRecords, May 24th. https://bygrecords.bandcamp.com/album/camembert-electrique

Tonight's cooking tunes courtesy of Gong - Magic Brother, released 1969.
Where it all started for Gong, after leaving his band The Soft Machine, Daevid Allen formed Gong in 69. A beautiful debut often overlooked by the trilogy etc, but it all started here for the magic brothers and mystic sisters.
Interesting items at a local estate sale. I'm sure my neighbors would be VERY HAPPY to have someone ring those every day at noon and midnight, LOL. #gong#bell#clang
Anybody else for the #Gong gig in #Stockholm tonight? I'm going!
Some people might say that a 60s rock band that continues to tour despite having no original members is pathetic. But the Royal Swedish Orchestra was founded in 1526 and still plays great music, new and old. Not many of its members are original, but they're ace musicians.
