What kind of Gong?
Fall prey to the Loudness Wars?  Imagine, Pedro's beloved band falls into the commercialism's "louder is better".

I have what's known as a "nipple gong".
When I get it confused with an actual nipple and thwack the wrong one with a drumstick loud stuff happens.
 In order, then, to discover the limit of deepest tones, it is necessary not only to produce very violent agitations in the air but to give these the form of simple pendular vibrations. - Hermann von Helmholtz, predicting the role of the electric bassist in 1877.

Hi,
GONG, only has two or three things worth playing that loud, so if all you can do to represent a band is those 3 things in a catalogue that is much bigger than that, then ... I pity you, lousy listener, for not even knowing what the heck is being mentioned!
It's on the album "YOU" and it is the 2 long cuts on what used to be the Side 2 of the LP. Best drumming ever in any rock album is right there, and some magnificent guitar interplay between Steve Hillage and Daevid Allen.
But I forget, that here, people do not know what progressive music is/was anyway, and they think that something that was done 42 years ago, is just another Vivaldi or Albinoni piece that no one will ever hear again -- specially them!
The rest of GONG is a bit of rock/jazz and other things, and it is not necessary to play loud! Unless you like to hear Shakti Yoni say "I am your witch! I am you p___y" a few more times and louder!
As a wise Guy once stated from his holy chapala ... none of the hits, none of the time ... prevents you from becoming just another turkey in the middle of all the other turkeys!

''Progressive music''..hmm, what a curious phrase. Don't think I've ever heard of that. I only like Frankie Vivaldi and His Four Seasons.

Yes......Johnny Winter has a musical bum " The_Progressive_Blues_Experiment" which certainly falls into Pedro's requirements. *music album

Hi, I like to insult people's intelligence. In a passive aggressive sort of way, of course. I don't mean anything by it. It's kind of like Sheldon. He doesn't mean to insult people - but when you're always the smartest guy in the room, it's inevitable.
