Mixing rock, jazz \u0026amp; psychedelia with elements of mysticism \u0026amp; hippie-based surrealism, all laced with a far-out sense of humour, the group's music, along with its communal lifestyle \u0026amp; fascination with all-things Eastern, epitomised the hippy ideal of the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'Zero To Infinity' is the tenth Gong album \u0026amp; the fifth album instalment in the evolving saga of 'Zero The Hero'. Previously unavailable as a standalone album for almost 20 years, it is now being released on vinyl on the original commissioning record label for the first time \u0026amp; features re-purposed Daevid Allen album artwork.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe album's concept is based on Zero The Hero, the character introduced on the famous Radio Gnome Invisible Gong Trilogy of 'Flying Teapot', 'Angel's Egg' \u0026amp; 'You' where the protagonist was seemingly trapped in the ever-repeating cycle of life \u0026amp; death.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eZero is then shown a path to possible liberation through love where he evolves to exist on a non-physical plane. Leading us to 'Zero To Infinity' where our hero discovers the advantages of a body-free, virtual existence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMuch like this fluid existence the music on 'Zero To Infinity' transcends genre to create an otherworldly, psychedelic experience that is entirely unique to Gong's inimitable sound \u0026amp; essential to any fan. This is the millennial Gong band at their very best bringing inventive \u0026amp; creative musicality to the never ending \u0026amp; constantly developing mythology of Planet Gong as it guided us into the new Century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe album features original Virgin band Gong members including late, visionary leader Daevid Allen, Gilli Smyth, Didier Malherbe \u0026amp; Mike Howlett, alongside Soft Machinist Theo Travis \u0026amp; drummer Chris Taylor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis fondly remembered album was experienced live by thousands on several extensive tours in the UK \u0026amp; Europe throughout 2000-01, some of the band's longest since the 1970's.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFoolefare ( 00:43 )\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMagdalene ( 03:59 )\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Invisible Temple ( 11:35 )\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eZeroid ( 06:09 )\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWise Man In Your Heart ( 08:05 )\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Mad Monk ( 03:26 )\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYoni On Mars ( 06:08 )\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDamaged Man ( 05:13 )\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBodilingus ( 04:04 )\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTali's Song ( 06:28 )\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInfinitea ( 07:49 )\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54421401665921,"sku":"1882852","price":11.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/0802644770826.jpg?v=1750649314","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/1882852","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
