about

Described as exhilarating, compelling and other worldly, “2032” represents the first time Steve Hillage recorded with original Gong founder, Daevid Allen, since 1974’s “You” album. “2032” is a new instalment that continues the Gong’s famous ‘Radio Gnome’ album trilogy which includes the milestone psychedelic progressive rock albums - “Flying Teapot” (1973), “Angel’s Egg” (1973), and “You” (1974).

The band line-up on the album includes Daevid Allen (guitar, lead vocal): Steve Hillage (lead guitar), Gilli Smyth (Space Whisper and poetry), Miquette Giraudy (synthesiser), Mike Howlett (bass), Chris Taylor (drums), and Theo Travis (sax and flute).

Special guest performances on some tracks include former Gong member Didier Malherbe (soprano sax, duduk, and flute) and Yuji Katsui (electric violin) of the Japanese progressive/psychedelic jam band Rovo.

Original Gong members Steve Hillage, Daevid Allen, Gilli Smyth and Miquette Giraudy, wrote the songs for “2032” when they were in Australia. The new album also grew out of the enthusiasm and fun the band experienced playing live together again.

Together with the rest of the band, Daevid and Steve have crafted a rich and fresh sounding powerhouse of an album that is a more than worthy successor to the legendary Radio Gnome trilogy that Gong released at their creative peak in the 70s.
2032 is the year that the Planet Gong makes full contact with the Planet Earth – and a major new chapter in the continually evolving Gong mythology,” says Daevid Allen.

Rejoice! A new Gong egg has hatched and the little pumpkin is adorable. Not as spacey as Daevid, nor as fusiony as Pierre, but quite precocious, talented, and ohh so very Gongidocious.
