Description
PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING: Please read the entire auction listing, including shipping costs, before writing to ask a question. OUR GOAL IS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. In order to meet that goal, we will ALWAYS work with our customers on any concerns that may arise. Because of that dedication, there should be no need to open a resolution dispute before working with us. Please keep in mind, we would prefer to continue to provide you the opportunity to acquire the rare music we present each and every week. Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end. Our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule by a day or two. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office. Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has become very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our well over 18,000 positive feedback. We use an ultrasonic KLAudio machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery. We take Customer Service seriously, and want you to be satisfied. Please give us 5 stars in each category through the feedback system, and we will be able to effectively continue to fulfill your passion for rare and collectible music! We have served thousands of satisfied customers - far more than our feedback records indicate - and our aim is to continue to do so.

Long time gone 1973 ORIGINAL on the first black/white Virgin "twins" label ...
GonG "Angels Egg" is the second incredible album in the famous GonG trilogy ...one hell of a psychedelic laced space-rock journey...We dare and encourage headphone listening.....
Nice gatefold cover and on the legendary British Virgin Records label....
What you get here is, GonG and their most insane in Angels Egg. It's so spaced-out your head will be in the clouds and beyond, and it's so flipped-out that you'll question the sanity of yourself and the musicians. But GonG are more than just some hippies goofing off. There are some serious musical ideas here, like pioneering electronics and spacerock passages withing memorable melodies...
This is the wackiest of the Gong trilogy albums. The lyrics are just plain crazy at times. "These guys are on drugs!" you'll think. And it's very fun at the same time. Catchy and lovable are these lyrics, just as much are they a product of lysergic madness. And the great thing is they strive to tell a story, and a screwed one at that.
This album is part two in the GonG trilogy, which starts where Zero the Hero, having been seduced by the evil witch, is floating in outer space. The story actually strives to have meaning though. Many philosophical ideas like anarchy and such are expressed here.
Under all the lysergic lunacy is some incredible musicianship. All kinds of tasty ethnic percussion, acid tinged guitars, complex drumming patterns, wailing reeds, and cosmic synths never fail to entertain. Steve Hillage plays along with Tim Blake to produce cosmic atmosphere's, with Hillage coming in for a soaring echo-plex guitar solo every once and a while. Hillage doesnt do much to show off his talent, but that's for the better. The focus on Angels Egg is more in the songs and the psychedelic atmosphere.
And this album sure is trippy. The melodies here seem to come straight from outer space. Lush passages layered in fluttering flute, bubbling synths, atmospheric guitars, ethnic percussion, and space whispered voices all make this album a psychedelic treat. As far as melodies go, they are the best here, better than either Flying Teapot or You ...although all three of their albums go together as one. Highly recommended, along with Flying Teapot and You.
