NEW SPECIAL 'TOUR EDITION' CD OF GONG'S 'UNENDING ASCENDING'

INCLUDES 6 BONUS TRACKS RECORDED LIVE FROM EDINBURGH IN 2024.

This special 'tour edition' CD of Gong's 2023 release 'Unending Ascending' includes 6 previously unreleased bonus tracks, recorded live from the band's superb 2024 show at Edinburgh's Summerhall as part of the 'Gong + Ozric Tentacles UK Tour'. The release coincides with Gong's extensive late-2024 North American & European tour which will see them play shows across the USA, Netherlands, Germany, Denmark, Sweden & Poland, amongst others. A return to relatively shorter songs, 'Unending Ascending' is an eclectic cycle veering between the ecstatic, apocalyptic, meditative & catchy, often within the same song.

'Cosmic rock of the highest order.' PROG

'If Unending Ascending is your first-time encountering Gong, this is a spectacular introduction.' LOUDER THAN WAR

The universe of Gong began in 1969 when visionary Daevid Allen was inspired by a profound psychedelic vision. A founder member of Soft Machine, Allen incorporated his spiritual & metaphysical leanings into an evolving collective. More a mythology than a band in the conventional sense, Gong established itself as one of the most unique, innovative & experimental rock groups of the seventies, through an exploratory mix of rock, jazz & psychedelia with elements of mysticism & surrealism, unafraid to deliver its messages directly, obliquely or whimsically. The current incarnation, who were put together by Daevid for his swansong album with Gong, 'I See You', honour his intention that Gong do not die with him, urging the band to 'carry it on into new unknown heights & depths far beyond anything I could ever imagine myself'.

The current lineup of Kavus Torabi, Dave Sturt, Fabio Golfetti, Ian East & Cheb Nettles is the most stable in Gong's illustrious history, having written, recorded & toured together for eight years since Allen's passing. A dynamic, powerful & explosive live band, their music draws from the credo of the original Gong while remaining committed to pushing the composition, performances & message into new realms, paying no mind to nostalgia.

This expanded 'tour edition' CD of 'Unending Ascending' is presented in a digipack with an eight-page booklet.
