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.

Before he sadly passed away in 2015, founding Gong member, Daevid Allen, laid out his hopes for a future Gong, that it should be uplifting, exploratory and a positive force. Kavus Torabi, Fabio Golfetti, Ian East, Dave Sturt and Cheb Nettles, chosen by him, continue his vision.

Pulsing Signals, recorded live at The Wardrobe in Leeds, The Cluny in Newcastle &amp; Rescue Rooms in Nottingham in 2019 during 'The Universe Also Collapses' tour finds the group in spirited form, unbeknownst to them, it being their final tour before the global pandemic took charge.

Owing to Gong being an international band, lockdown and restrictions on travel made it impossible to convene and work on new music. The band received many requests by fans to release a live album and fortunately enough, the band had multitrack recordings of several shows from the 2019 tour. Bassist Dave Sturt went through all the master tapes &amp; selected the best performances which became Pulsing Signals.

The album was recorded by Pete Wibrew and mixed by Frank Byng, while mastering was handled by Andy Jackson.
