Don't understand the snark here.
No snark intended, sorry. I sampled it to see if it was music that interested me. It wasn't. But obviously that doesn't mean that it's not something that might interest others, which you underscored by saying it was exactly what you were looking for. I clearly totally misunderstood your original inquiry.
I am always interested in hearing about music I don't know, and I will give almost anything a shot except death metal, heavy prog rock or heavy electronica. What I heard seemed to be very prog and somewhat electronica, and the "concept" was just too dated/silly to connect with me.
Funny
@imno1 mentioned Captain Beefheart, because that was the closest comparison that came to me while I listening to it, but even that was fleeting, as Captain Beefheart is ultimately blues-based music, whereas the Gong stuff is much more abstracted. I like Captain Beefheart and I love Zappa, who got his start there.
@tdrink , sorry, I just don't hear the Phish at all; nor do I hear the Zappa. It wasn't surprise, just not sounds that I liked hearing.
There are a lot of assumptions made about Phish fans and what other music they might like. Most of them don't apply to me. For example, many people have urged me about Widespead Panic, and they don't do it for me at all.
