Gong

The progressive rock and fusion band Gong was formed in the late 60s by Soft Machine's Australian guitarist and vocalist Daevid Allen and the band has existed in various forms ever since. Gong's musically eclectic world contains elements of psychedelia, space rock, jazz, avant-garde and krautrock, which means they end up on playlists alongside artists such as Rush, Mike Oldfield and King Crimson. And somewhere in there, of course, lurks Syd Barrett too.
