I have never understood why everybody compares them to Pink Floyd (as they do with dom). I think the Freemans may be guilty of that since they were the first. Gila had formal connections with Dieter Dierks, Guru Guru and Popol Vuh. Originally called Gila Fuck, their concerts were closely monitored by the German secret police so a name change was inevitable. The second version of Gila was basically Popol Vuh circa Hosianna/Aguirre and Conny Veit and very mellow/folky. The other two albums are a different lineup and sound.
