Esoteric recordings announce the release of a newly remastered and expanded edition of this acclaimed album by Pierre Moerlens Gong. By the late 1970s percussionist Pierre Moerlen had taken over the leadership of Gong and had steered the band away from psychedelic space rock and took the band into a jazz rock direction, one in which the band excelled. After recording several albums with Virgin, Moerlen signed with Arista recordsin 1978. Following the albums Downwind , Time IsThe Key and Live (also available on Esoteric), Moerlens band recorded this classic final album with Hansford Rowe on bass and Bon Lozaga on guitar. This Esoteric recordings edition has been remastered from the original analogue master tapes and fully restores the original album artwork."
