HAHA thanks to Rockstar games, people hear good music :P
I knew about Gong since I was a kid but I was
BLOWN AWAY when it came up on radio in GTA4 XDDD
Mick Taylor ROCKS on this! I learnt more about lead guitar playing from copying this one solo than all the lessons I ever had combined. A masterclass in blues-based rock lead playing!
French group, originally weird and very varied psychedelic rock, peaking with the "Radio Gnome" record trilogy in mid-70's. But then the original leaders left and it turned it into a jazz-fusion band, fairly close to Mike Oldfield style. The first records in that style were good (like this) but then (80's) it went downhill. Nowadays, original Gong has reunited and plays space-phychedelia again.
So you may find "Gong" music in two different styles. (And which one you like best is up to you.)
