Digitally remastered edition. By the late 1970s, percussionist Pierre Moerlen had taken over the leadership of Gong and had steered the band away from Psychedelic Space Rock and took the band into a Jazz Rock direction, one in which the band excelled. Following the album Downward, Moerlen assembled a new band featuring Hansford Rowe on bass and Bon Lozaga on guitar. This band entered the Kinks' Konk Studios to record this fine album that featured guest appearances by guitarist Allan Holdsworth and Curved Air violinist Darryl Way. Esoteric. 2010.
