I used to have a record which Here and Now shared with Alternative TV....I just checked, but I must've sold it in the past. Lol Coxhill is a big hero of mine though....he's been doing some interesting stuff recently in Glasgow with folks like Raymond MacDonald, and Phosphene John Cavanagh's band....you can see John at the Ivor cutler tribute in January!!).

I've always like early Gong, but lost interest when they got too jazzy, and the wackiness ebbed away.

Here and Now were also playing in Amsterdam at the unconvention, but we were all far too tired to continue standing at the venue, so we left early on that night. I regret missing them, but i wouldn't have enjoyed them with my legs aching so much.

I did however buy one of their cds of them playing live in the early 90s, but i don't really think too much of it. Music is good, but the vocals and lyrics are a tad too cheesy. I shall give it another shot though.

Also, I purchased a cd of Gong remixes at the festival which is excellent.

Master Builder remixed by the shamen
A sprinkling of clouds by system 7
A PHP's advice by the Orb are just a few of the mixes

Hearing Gong fused with psy-trance and techno is actually pretty damn good

Ive heard of them and all i know is that there an extremely trippy band from an indulgent stoner friend of mine. Must check them out someday.
