Some say it couldn’t, or shouldn’t, be done. How could Gong exist without Daevid Allen?
A few minutes into listening to the title track of their brand new album, Rejoice!, aspersions will be cast aside. It is undeniably Gong
Gong have had many, many line-ups. Formed when Australian beatnik/freak Daevid Allen quit The Soft Machine and moved to France at the tail end of the ’60s, before debuting in 1970 with Magick Brother, the band have remained fluid, even playing without their founder from the mid-to-late ’70s, fracturing and reassembling and constantly taking on new shapes and forms: an undeniably amorphous unit. David Bowie told Vanity Fayre in 2003 that Daevid Allen’s Banana Moon is one of his favourite albums, and today everyone from indie artists Temples and Ty Segall to hip hop artist Madlib and techno DJ Surgeon are inspired, and borrow, from Gong’s music and ideology. The funky grooves, avant-garde flourishes and counter-cultural stance is timeless. So timeless that Gong fully exists even without their creator and guiding light. For those who are unaware Daevid Allen died in March 2015.

One of the best "gong" sections
Wow.....never would expect a band to make another album, even without the Divided Alien, and still sound amazing...just wow!
This is a perfect tribute to an incomparable man. Musically it takes all of the Gong musical idioms and forges them into something new & fresh and yet ........... instantly GONG. I hope this doesn't descend into a self parody in the future, but maybe so soon after Daevid's passing something of the "afterglow" was in the air at the sessions - whatever the case he will be smiling
Just got back from thr gig and ... WOW!!!!!!! Just simply WOW!!!!! Gavus is amazing! The band totally rocked! Fukkkin LOVED it!!!!!
I missed Gong first time round. Just starting to enjoy Steve Hillage again. I'm looking forward to this album.
Never underestimate the power of Mr Spillage!!!
Men, you are fucking amazing! I will be looking always for your music!
sounds like Gong
Intro guitar sounds like Robert Fripp's.

Tony Stark I agree with you very much. I just checked out Kavus in another band and I thought exactly the same. Great playing..
