The groove is so intoxicating, this drummer has so much pocket! The blend of gliss guitar, space whisper, bubbling synth and smooth funk is one of my favorite sounds of all time!
Listened to Gong first as a teen back in the early eighties and then drifted out of it. Learnt drums later on and got into all kinds of stuff. Recently came back to You and specifically Isle of Everywhere and that phenomenal bassline and recognized it has all those wonderfully subtle time changes, what a lovely surprise. 8/8, 7/8, 6/8 and sure I've heard 5/8 too at times
It's 4/4. then 7/8, then 6/8, then back to 4/4. Simple, when you know how, but Pierre Moerlen does it far better that this, or any other drummer has, or can do. :)
Spillage66 if you think about it as 8/8, it’s a little easier to follow. in different live shows they float back and forth effortlessly. I’ve even heard a few bars of 5/8 played sometime before.
@@Daphnse well spotted. I've also heard 5/8 in there. Listened to Gong first as a teen back in the early eighties and then drifted out of it. Learnt drums later on and got into all kinds of stuff. Recently came back to You and specifically Isle of Everywhere and that phenomenal bassline and recognized it has all those wonderfully subtle time changes, what a lovely surprise.
Fiachra it’s a trip! How they’re all one instrument... even 35 years later! Most music today that I’ve heard with complex time signatures really doesn’t come anything close to this.
This drummer is very good, but he just doesn't have the snap of the late Pierre Moerlen. There's no shame in that, of course, since Moerlen was one of the very best.
could have been. a disguise so as to slip the truth of the planet into the mainstream with little notice by the masses as they were all taken to a place of peace love and understanding....and laughter at the whole concept!
Congratulations on promoting this incomparable and memorable band. New subscriber like #653

Thank you for posting this wonderful groove.
Masters at work, sublime!
Nine years? Come ON! I COULD LISTEN TO THIS EVERY DAY BUT I WOULD CRY... ABSENT FRIENDS... I LOVE YOU GONG... I WOULDN'T BE ME W/OUT YOU😘🤗🤡🌞😎
Passano gli anni, ma i Gong rimangono inimitabili.
Grande brano tratto da un grande album

Is anyone else disappointed that the drummer didn't play the wicked opening fill that's on the album?
Yes, but also no, as no one can replicate Pierre Moerlen's unique and excellent drumming. No one!
the right answer!!
Who's on keytar? Is that Tim Blake?
The one and only Hi T Moonweed!

I meant to add, 5/8 before before back to 4/4. Sorry.
