about

DELUXE EDITION OF THE FIRST ALBUM OF THE NEW AGE OF GONG - THE MULTI-NATIONAL, MULTI-DIMENSIONAL PSYCHEDELIC LEGEND - FEATURING GUESTS STEVE HILLAGE, DIDIER MALHERBE

“Inspired by the light, love and passing of our dear friend and inspiration Daevid Allen.” Dave Sturt

Gong entered yet another new phase on their four-decades-plus journey with Rejoice! I’m Dead!, their 2016 studio album. It was the follow up to 2014’s I See You, the last album Daevid Allen was to record with Gong.

Some say it couldn’t, or shouldn’t, be done. How could Gong exist without Daevid Allen? A few minutes into listening to Rejoice! and aspersions will be cast aside. New members and old coalesce. It is undeniably Gong.

Rejoice! I’m Dead! is classified as the band’s 28th album and the Gong legacy is the strongest it has been since 1974. Every member was key in the development of each new song - Kavus Torabi (vocals/guitar), also of Knifeworld, who joined Gong in 2014 in time for the last album unaware of the direction his new gig as a guitar player would take, Fabio Golfetti (guitar/vocals), Dave Sturt (bass/vocals), Ian East (sax/flute) and Cheb Nettles (drums/vocals) took on the mantle of steering the Teapot further into outer space and the inner ear. The voice of Daevid Allen features on 2 songs - “Model Village” and “Beatrix”, and the album also features guests - Steve Hillage playing a guitar solo on “Rejoice!” and Didier Malherbe’s duduk can be heard on “Model Village” and “Through Restless Seas I Come”.

Rejoice! I'm Dead! was recorded in London in the Spring of 2016 at Brixton Hill Studios, engineered by Nick Howiantz and Gong; mixed by Mark Cawthra (Infallible Ear) and Dave Sturt (Swimming Head).

"It is Gong, like they have been forever: "spacey, psychedelic, jazzy, humorous, absurd" 8/10 Eclipsed (DE)

"the Gong legacy gets a blast of adrenaline" All About Jazz

Rejoice! A new Gong egg has hatched and the little pumpkin is adorable. Not as spacey as Daevid, nor as fusiony as Pierre, but quite precocious, talented, and ohh so very Gongidocious.

I'm enjoying a huge rediscovery of Gong thanks to my children and Steve Hillage/Miquette Giraudy! Although my children have loved trawling through my wide and varied music collection and have each taken their own particular favourites with them, I didn't expect them to react to Gong in the way they have. It started when my youngest son and I went to see the Steve Hillage Band (Gong) last year. I played him Camembert Electrique to show him who Gong were, and it was like I'd electrified him! hobodaddi
