Gong - Angel's Egg

Gong — Angel's Egg

Essential second chapter in Gong's epic Radio Gnome Invisible trilogy

A mind-expanding journey through a boundary-defying universe of progressive and psychedelic sound!

Deluxe LP edition with original gatefold artwork and a 16-page booklet exploring the Radio Gnome Invisible mythology

140-gram LP half-speed mastered by Grammy Award-winning mastering engineer Lewis Hopkin

Released on BYG Records — the original label behind the album, before it was licensed to Virgin

The second chapter in Gong's legendary Radio Gnome Invisible trilogy, Angel's Egg takes the story deeper into the surreal, otherworldly universe first introduced on Flying Teapot. Originally released in 1973, the album follows the continuing adventures of Zero the Hero and the Pot Head Pixies, expanding Daevid Allen's visionary mythology into an even more ambitious world of flying teapots, cosmic transmissions, spiritual awakening, and playful rebellion.

Musically, Angel's Egg pushes Gong's unique fusion of psychedelic rock, progressive experimentation, jazz improvisation, and anarchic humour into new territory. With its hypnotic grooves, swirling synthesizers, gliding guitars, saxophone excursions, and eccentric vocal characters, the album moves effortlessly between the playful and the profound. Featuring cult favourites including "Other Side of the Sky," "Oily Way," "Flute Salad," and "You Can't Kill Me," it captures Gong's classic line-up at their most imaginative, adventurous, and otherworldly.

Remastered from the original BYG Records tapes and cut at half-speed at the U.K.'s world-famous Stardelta Studios by Grammy Award-winning mastering engineer Lewis Hopkin, this deluxe reissue delivers the album with exceptional depth, clarity, and detail. The LP is housed in a faithful reproduction of the original gatefold sleeve, and includes a 16-page booklet faithfully replicating Daevid Allen's original 1973 guide to the characters, stories and mythology of the Radio Gnome Invisible saga.
