A new set of artists and a new city in the history of Gong finds 60s sunshine hippie Daevid Allen fronting a band of 80s New York No Wave musicians, headed by a young Bill Laswell with Fred Maher, Bill Bacon, Mark Kramer and Michael Beinhorn among others.  On here they’re engaged with investing some exciting avant-garde energy into Allen’s songwriting. Songs are short, melodic, full of craziness and vibrancy.  The album is an odd hybrid of psychedelia (‘Preface’), new wave (‘I Am A Freud’) and punk (‘Much Too Old’), with a lyrical sentiment reminiscent of early-70s Gong (‘Jungle Window’).   \u003ci\u003eAbout Time\u003c\/i\u003e is a fascinating musical collaboration which set the stage for Bill Laswell's own groundbreaking career, as well as keeping Allen’s ticking over.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"No Label","offers":[{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":50416494772555,"sku":"2191528","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50416494379339,"sku":"2191525","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/product_id._bb3c75ce_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726704695","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/about-time-htcskt","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
