There was an article in the Fresno Bee newspaper to the effect that Pat Boone was going to do a heavy metal album. Really. No Satanic lyrics, of course. This might eclipse Nimoy's psychedelic period.

I KN> read somewhere once that New York Gong had another name, KN> Material, Magazine, or something like that (I never could KN> remember which). Material and Magazine are both real KN> groups. Any idea? Mostly, and the discographies at their pages now list everything, there have always been somethings or other going about, but it seems that other than the HERE & NOW stuff, ( Floating Anarchy was the first ), and later all the stuff that Daevid Allen and just about all the other Gongos did with Gilly and Mother Gong. But GAS lists a whole lot of stuff, in the past twenty years, some of which sounds rather esoteric, but I sure would love to ear it. ZU, if I remember correctly, played at that LA show in the small theatre with Chronicle, Y. Saeffer, and New York Gong, way back when. It was, I understand, the first time that Daevid Allen toured america, though he was disappointed that there was no Gong per se. NY Gong, though, did not do a real good job playing gomg at all, in my book. If I remeber it right, basically they were musicians that liked Gong, that decided to join Allen for the west coast play around. David is on record saying that, at the time he was not very happy, and he didn't feel the music was that good. ... davidlean___every film will have a setting... --- FLAME v1.1 * Origin: Pacifier Online Data Service (1:105/101) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 182 60'S 70'S ROCK Ref: DEH00027Date: 10/12/96 From: PEDRO SENA Time: 02:39am \/To: GARY SMITH (Read 2 times) Subj: KAYAK -=***> Gary Smith on the KAYAK <***=- GS> Does Kayak have an album titled "See See the Sun"?

Like I say all of them are. Felona e Serona, if you get the english version is translated by Peter Hammill. It's worth gettin both, though they are exactly the same other than the vocals..
