I nearly fell outta my chair this morning when I receieved notice of this. In Septemeber of 2009 the nearly original lineup of the semi-phsychodelic-prog-rock band Gong released a new album of brand new material. In the early 1990's Daevid re-united Gong for several tours and subsequent albums and compilations, as well as solo albums. What's most significant in this fan's observation about this time round, and I'm sure other fans have and will notice is that Steve Hillage and Miquette Giraudy have joined the cast this time out and have a big hand in producing the new music as well. For years Daevid Allen had tried to get Hillage onboard again but Hillage in his trues style preferred to remain "unidentified", and stay in the producer's chair he has held for so many years.
