Gong is a pioneering psychedelic and progressive rock band formed in 1967 by Daevid Allen, an Australian musician and former member of Soft Machine. The band is known for its eccentric, cosmic storytelling, jazz-influenced improvisation, and use of whimsical science fiction themes, particularly surrounding a mythological concept called the “Radio Gnome Invisible” trilogy.

You is the third and final part of Gong’s Radio Gnome Invisible trilogy, following Flying Teapot (1973) and Angel’s Egg (1973).

Musically, it blends space rock, psychedelic jazz, and progressive rock, featuring intricate instrumentation, synth textures, and surreal spoken word passages.

Tracks like "Master Builder", "A Sprinkling of Clouds", and "The Isle of Everywhere" showcase the band’s fusion of hypnotic grooves, spiritual themes, and free-form experimentation.

You is widely regarded as Gong’s masterpiece — a cult classic that balances chaos and coherence, mysticism and humor, with exceptional musicianship. It’s essential listening for fans of avant-garde progressive rock and cosmic psychedelia.
