Gong - Shamal album flac

Shamal is the sixth studio album released under the name Gong and was released by Virgin Records on 13 February 1976 The album, produced by Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason was recorded in December 1975. There are only six tracks here, but each one seems to explore a different tone and aspect of musical experimentation

Shamal is first Gong album without Daevid Allen, Gilli Smyth and almost without Steve Hillage. Recorded right after You ( and after the end of great Gong Trilogy), it is change in direction. Instead of Allen's Gong psychedelic Canterbury sound you will find there some transitional music. Psychedelia ( both with Allen and Gilli vocals and Hillage guitar) is almost gone, but jazz-rock is filling it's place. Whenever the musicians generally are all great, instrumental part of album sounds very competent. Main problem is Howlett vocals, which isn't good, and doesn't fit at all.

The album is also very "busy". Tightly packed into a mere 40 minutes is a selection of nine different musicians offering their talented performances with a multitide of different instruments. Not that different to Daevid Allen's future vision for Gong, of course, but Shamal was definitely where this idea of multi-dimensional instrumentation started to form into one of the most prominent aspects of Gong's musicianship.
