Customer Reviews:

3 out of 5 stars Gong - 'A Wingful Of Eyes' (Caroline).......2004-10-05

First off,this is NOT Gong.It's actually Pierre Moerlen's Gong.I was going to give this CD a two star rating,but 'A Wingful...' seems to be a decent compilation of mid-'70's Daevid Allen-less Gong.It pulls tracks from three lp's,'Shamal','Expresso' and 'Gazeuse'.Neither of those lp's have been able to hold my full attention all the way through.Simply just to jazzy for my taste.However,having all three lp's compiled together on one disc isn't bad.Two of the tunes I thought showed some good playing were "Night Illusion" and "Soli".I know a few fans who would probably end up enjoying this title a LOT more than I did.For avant garde fanatics and Gong completists ONLY.
