Combining Dadaesque jazz with very whimsical lyrics, Gong was far too unfocused a band to ever make it in the United States. For a "hippie band", though, they could play pretty well... Steve Hillage featured some tasty fusion-style guitar in this band, and drummers Pip Pyle and Pierre Motien both were very talented. Sax/flute player Didier Malherbe at times sounds uncannily like Mel Collins of King Crimson--similar influences, I guess-- and at other times (when Gong was playing 'yoga atmospherics' ) he apes Yusef Lateef.
There are times when the band plays like the Mothers of Invention, and other instances when "Islands" period King Crimson comes to mind, with Gilli Smyth's eerie wails being a bit like Pauline Lucas' siren-style vocals on Crimson's "Formentara Lady".
Gilli Smyth's distinctly feminist presence is another factor that makes Gong noteworthy.
