Re: What's Cope got against Gong?

'You' is the most viscerally exciting of the three albums, worth the price of admission for 'Isle Of Everywhere', 'Master Builder' and 'A Sprinkling Of Clouds' alone. These are three long tracks with loads of dynamic thrills. The last named is a rock equivalent to Strauss' 'Alpine Symphony' - building slowly to an immense wall of sound and then slowly coming down again. When the drums thunder in halfway through it's just orgasmic. 'Flying Teapot' and 'Angels Egg' are both terrific albums, if not quite on that same level of intensity; the first is the most 'pop' of the three (i use that term VERY loosely), and the second the most jazzy - but make no mistake, these all go to make up the greatest rock concept of them all. My only warning goes towards Allen's spacekid humour which can grate at times. No matter, because the music's great.
