  • Description

    Built around a selection of treasured Gong performances from their Spring Tour of 2000, 'Live To Infinitea' is the epitome of the band's mercurial, kaleidoscopic nature - With a penchant for wandering improvisation (equal parts masterful & mischievous), & a dimension-blurring audience rapport, Gong have elevated their mythical status even further in the 24 years since these performances were first enjoyed.

    Now available on double vinyl LP and CD, 'Live to Infinitea' includes the band's internet broadcast, recorded at London's Subterranea in April 2000, alongside performances at The Phoenix in Exeter & The Garage in Bergen, Norway. Showcasing Gong's diverse influences, 'Live To Infinitea' effortlessly blends jazz, rock & RnB with elements of Arabic, Indian & European folk. Visionary Gong mastermind Daevid Allen's evocative lyrics transport listeners into worlds of epic myth, from the realms of 'Lord Of The Rings' to the whimsical absurdity of 'Gormenghast'. Featuring iconic references like flying teapots, Zero the Hero & Bananamoon Observatories, 'Live to Infinitea' is Gong at their very best.

    This CD edition of 'Live To Infinitea' includes a 4-page printed booklet housed in a cardboard digipak with artwork by Daevid Allen.
