Gong - 'Other Side Of The Sky' (Recall) 2-CD, February 5, 2008
This review is from: Other Side of the Sky (Audio CD)
First time I heard it, I might normally say this seventeen track / 2-CD compilation import of Gong's repertoire is strictly for completists but NOW I'm going to re-phrase that. 'Other Side' would also serve the purpose of turning any new fan(s) onto this long running cosmic rock ensemble. Tunes that make this title a true keeper are Daevid Allen's tripping "Opium For The People", "Tropical Fish / Selene" (one of Gilli Smyth's gems), the rocking "Tried So Hard" (off 'Camembert Electrique'), "Other Side Of The Sky / Sold To The Highest Bidder" and their awesome fifteen-minute freak out jam "Allez Ali Bab Black Sheep..." off their 'Floating Anarchy Live 1977' lp. Happy listening.
