It has to be everybody or nobody…We are called to be architects of the future, Not its victims….each one of us could make the difference.” Buckminster Fuller, Mathematician & Engineer Synergy is an environmental and cultural information network, creating spaces where those working on the cutting edge of cultural and social expression combine, using a variety of media, to conceive a place where creative energies are liberated and the spiritual dimension of our lives is unveiled. For meaningful social change to occur, a significant cultural paradigm shift is necessary, particularly in the west, away from lifestyles which value material growth, acquisition and consumption towards ones which value spiritual concerns – the environment, community, family and the wider cosmos. Exploring and challenging established orthodoxies of progress, development and civilisation, synergy is an on-going process of self and community development, recognising that how we work together and resolve issues relating to power, control and ego, are of the utmost importance – change within being a necessary pre-condition for change without. “Man is now the captain of spaceship earth, engendering a concept of ecology of earth, air, fire and water as an integral whole.

Dude, shame on you! Saying 'Gong are prog' is like saying 'hippies have long hair'. Serious generalisation! Gong have done very, very little of anything that could really be described as prog. They're certainly more space rock than prog, and probably more jazz and psychedelic too. Prog? No fucking way!
You'd need to be more specific though. Which album? Which incarnation of Gong? Large parts of 'You' are definitive space rock, as is, say, Floating Anarchy. 'Flying Teapot' or 'Angel's Egg' would be more psychedelic jazz. Like I said, don't see how you can really pigeon hole Gong that easily. With you all the way on the French brothel bit though
yeah i agree, they are incredibly hard to pigeon hole. great band though. theres a statement on their website that says "Gong, a band that too few many people love too much" i couldnt agree more. They had to cancel their recent tour over here didnt they?
