Flying Teapot: Radio Gnome Invisible, Part 1

This is my first step into the world of Gong, and I can say the choice of album to start off with is great. From what I can read, here we can hear a combination of a drunk imagination of space prog-jazz with a dash of canabis (a combo I don't recommend btw), and some ditsy, gremlin-esque psych rock, both of which dominate their other well known albums.

I'm a much bigger fan of songs such as "Radio Gnome Invisible" and "The Pot Head Dixies", which are more vocal oriented tracks that I find myself getting addicted to much easier to, but the s/t "Flying Teapot" is also good with its funky and dancy quality.

Overall, a nice and quality album. Maybe a bit lacking in overall replayability, but still worthy of listening.

Telepathy is always portrayed in books and film as this means of perfect understanding and clarity, but what if it’s the opposite? How cluttered are our minds with nonsense? We might be flipping our loose lips with our forefinger while making noises. We might be moaning or clucking our tongue. We might be expressing ourselves internally and it have no meaning to anyone else not us, expressions that cannot translate into clear communication. Telepathy as communication is a fun thought, but the little green men in our brains are best left for us alone. We’d go crazy if we heard everyone else’s pixies.
