Editorial Reviews

Vinyl LP pressing. Remember; there is only now. Following the success of their 2016 album, 'Rejoice! I'm Dead!', which was a transitional album in the evolution of Gong and was an opportunity to say goodbye to the great Daevid Allen, the current formation of Gong is releasing an album for them. 'The Universe Also Collapses' is the sound of Gong in 2019, as vanguards of 21st century psychedelia; propulsive, mystical and ecstatic.

I am a huge Gong?hillage fan and was devastated when Daevid and Gilli left us for the next dimension. Was this the end of an astonishing and community inspiring soundtrack soundtrack of the last 50 years?
I am blown away by what these amazing musicians have tapped into. More than a hommage , feels rooted in the essence of Gong. This is very Gong.
You make Daevid and Gilli proud. VIVA GONG!

I can't believe how great this album is. The vocals and instrumentation is fantastic. I thought I was listening to Gong circa 1973. This album is just fantastic!

Very good album in the spirit of classic Gong. The band Daevid Allen assembled late in life are very good and keeping the tradition alive.

5.0 out of 5 stars The New GONG hits it's stride!
Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2019
Ever since Daevid Allen left this world (for the Planet Gong?) these new kids in charge of the old machine have been working to steer the PHP ship onto a new course. I was not totally "on board' for the last effort,that I thought was a bit "off of route" for us old "pixies". But this journey is more on target....I think Daevid would have liked this one. It's all about the "now"....but sounds a bit "then" for the long-time travelers (us old fans).

The first track is 20 minutes long and quite pleasing....moving here there and everywhere, and sounding quite space jazz inflicted! The last three cuts are shorter affairs but keep that bit of space-y otherness a good GONG effort just has to have to welcome the old PHPs onto ship. Check this one out....I think they're heading for that Invisible Planet once more...and maybe Mr. Alien will be there to meet us?

2.0 out of 5 stars Sorry, but I can't get over the weak vocals...

Kavus Torabi is also in an excellent instrumental band called Guapo that I absolutely love (I had the rare pleasure of seeing them perform live at NEARFest back in the day), but the key word there is "instrumental". The Universe Also Collapses is about the millionth example of a progressive rock album that would be much better if it were purely instrumental, as the weak vocals really drag it down (especially on the shorter tracks). A shame.

These guys are excellent musicians. The jams are expansive but never meandering. The lyrics fit right in the Gong Universe. "Highly" recommended!

Gong are an idea as much as a band, proven here by that unmistakable spacey sound. Use instead of pharmaceuticals unless you feel overindulgence.
