      @@Edduno128 Blew my mind when I found out that both bands share a common member in Kavus Torabi. Two of the most artistically pure groups I know of and they both are related? What are the chances of that? Not many musicians on par with either Gong or Cardiacs once you get into them, do you know of any other interesting groups worth checking out?

      ⁠​⁠@@musicman9901 well, I’m not a musician, but I absolutely love Mike Patton and all his bands, especially Mr. Bungle! (also Faith No More, Tomahawk, Fantomas…) Ween is great, so is the Butthole Surfers (pardon my french 😅) Magma is a french band I need to listen to more… early Genesis… Gentle Giant of course. The unfinished SMiLE album by the beach boys… (a masterpiece) Major Parkinson and Moron Police are two Cardiacs-adjacent bands worth checking out… early Split Enz, XTC and Sparks… early Wall of Voodoo… Punishment of Luxury for theatrical punk (Laughing Academy is great, and they were a big inspiration for Cardiacs) Last but not least FOETUS (J G Thirlwell) some of the most insane, dark and menacing music I’ve ever heard!

    Let the song man spin it
    It began at the beginning
    Was a sweet green planet
    Nothing on it, nothing to it, nothing in it,
    Nothing to do with the planet as we know it
    It's a planet coming to you but you don't know if its there
    Maybe its here, maybe there
    Check it underneath the Milky Way
    Right beside the southern cross
    I don't think so!
    You just cant see it but it ain't going away
    You've gotta dance and sing and everything will
    Clarify, fructify, multiply, fact finding it?
    Will never satisfy
    Not the big bang, not the big bong
    But the planet called GONG
    Its a singin' and a ringin out
    This is where we're coming from
    This is where that we belong
    This is where it all began Hu-man
    They coming out of an intention
    Which I hesitate to mention
    Maybe out of space is just a parallel dimension
    They coming down from a planet
    So far, so near
    That's where it all began
    That music you hear
    It happened to remind me of a long long story
    Bout a visit from the stars, some old Babas?
    Professor Paradox sent the Octave Docs
    Those Time Doctors on space guitars
    Those wise avatars from a distant star
    They have watched us
    Take me to your leaders!
    We assume the position of possession of power
    We chop out the life
    We live by the knife
    Cut out the memory
    That everybody's family
    One great family of conscious humanity
    And the time will come
    When the Star Men arrive
    In 2032 they'll be looking at you
    They're coming down to Earth
    And it's been so long
    So very very long ago
    When play last end
    To come down here
    To show us what we need to know
    How to survive without killing the planet
    How to survive without killing the planet?
    (We need to know!)
    How to stay alive?
    (We need to know!)
    Let the song man spin it
    It began at the beginning
    Was a sweet green planet
    Nothing on it, nothing to it Nothing in it,
    Nothing to do with the planet as we know it
    It's a planet coming to you but you don't know if its there
    Maybe its here, maybe there
    Check it underneath the Milky Way
    Right beside the southern cross
    I don't think so!
    You just cant see it but it ain't going away
    It's a singing and a ringing out
    This is where we're coming from
    This is where that we belong
    This is where it all began

    My mom went to India on exchange when she was a teenager in the 90s and met them there, when she returned strangely she found their vinyls in a Thrift store! India is on the other side of the world from where we live, and considering that they are from France, and the vinyls were Vintage, they had nothing to do here!! The vinyls were there ALL my life, and now that I asked my mom about Gong, I started to investigate, and it turns out that I coincidentally have the name of one of the characters, and now I'm the finding headpot pixies EVERYWHERE, in art, on records, on the internet, in books!! And not in itself those of Gong, but the design of them, Strange musicians started following me on my socials, even the clouds look like the flying teapot.
