About

Following the departure of Didier Malherbe after Gazeuse!, only Pierre Moerlen remained from the classic Radio Gnome trilogy line-up. Virgin continued to market the band as Gong, but once released from Virgin, the band were formally re-labelled as Pierre Moerlen's Gong. Allan Holdsworth, Mick Taylor and Darryl Way are among the guest musicians that supplement the core of the band. This album is also Hansford Rowe's debut on bass, but the last appearance by Mireille Bauer (who first appeared on You).
