Also if this album was published under the name of Gong, really it's the first album by Pierre Moerlen's Gong, it was recorded without the Gong's  frontman and leader Daevid Allen, and the sound begins to go toward the direction which will have all the following albums by Pierre Moerlen's Gong, surely less psychedelic and more jazzy and fusion. This work is a good work and it contains one of the most popular song by this band, 'Bambooji'.
