Gong is a pioneering psychedelic rock band that was formed in France in 1969. Led by [a10354] and [a258438], Gong created a unique blend of psychedelia, space-rock, and trip-rock with a conceptual ethos centered around aliens and alternative realities. Throughout their career, the band has undergone numerous lineup changes and reformations, collaborating with other bands from the Canterbury scene. Despite these changes, Gong's music has always remained innovative and captivating.

Over the years, Gong has explored various musical styles and genres. After the departure of Daevid as leader, [a4452] took over for a short period before the band transformed into a more jazz-rock styled group known as [a323088]. Additionally, there have been many offshoots of Gong such as Paragong, Planet Gong (2), Pierre Moerlen's Gong, Mother Gong, New York Gong, Gongmaison, Gongzilla, Gong Matrices, Gong Global Family, Acid Mothers Gong, and Gong Expresso.

Despite their ever-evolving lineup and sound variations since 1990,Gong continues to create music that pushes boundaries and captivates audiences worldwide. With their rich discography spanning several decades,Gong remains an influential force in the world of psychedelic rock.

Mixing rock, jazz &amp; psychedelia with elements of mysticism and hippie- based surrealism, all laced with a far-out sense of humour, the group's music, along with its communal lifestyle &amp; fascination with things Eastern, epitomised the hippy ideal of the day. Now in their 55th year, Gong is still on the road &amp; preparing for the reissue of the acclaimed live release High Above The Subterranea Club 2000 as a CD/DVD set with a 12-page booklet housed in a digi-pack. Featuring a unique performance of the band's internet broadcast recorded at the Subterranea Club London on April 6th 2000, it captures the favour of the exciting, unpredictable nature of Gong's spacey yet tight improvisation, the quality of their audience rapport, their famed musical absurdity &amp; even the essence of their strange mythical element. Celebrating 20 years since the original release, the DVD disc features the full show including 3 additional tracks not featured on the audio CD (Flute Salad, Oily Way and You Can't Kill Me) &amp; also features an interview with Gong's visionary leader Daevid Allen.
