Gong (Daevid Allen & Gilli Smyth) - I Am Your Egg. CD. (Voiceprint - VP376CD) A 2005 release featuring the band's two mainstays- Daevid Allen and Gilli Smyth- backed by their son Orlando Allen and Josh Pollock. Longtime fans should know what to expect by now: cosmic, whimsical, spacey, trancey and psychedelic sounds from a true veteran of the scene (Daevid Allen, who was placed under observation by the Australian government in as early as 1953 for his subversive activities whilst still at school, is an acid pioneer and possibly the last original freak), including the highly amusing 'Hungry Lion'. The phrase 'Gong family' is no longer just a term: the second generation are carrying on the work of their fathers and mothers in the only way (or should that read 'Oily Way'?) possible.
