Originally released in 1974, You is the third and final installment in Gong¢s legendary Radio Gnome Invisible trilogy, following Flying Teapot and Angel¢s Egg. Founded by former Soft Machine member Daevid Allen, Gong merges psychedelic rock, space jazz, and progressive experimentation into a cosmic narrative full of surreal characters, spiritual themes, and sci-fi mysticism.
Tracks like “Master Builder,” “A Sprinkling of Clouds,” and “The Isle of Everywhere” showcase hypnotic grooves, ethereal synths, and virtuosic musicianship, blending improvisation with structured chaos.
Regarded as Gong¢s magnum opus, You is a cult classic that perfectly balances whimsy and depth, structure and free-form, making it essential for fans of avant-garde prog and cosmic psychedelia.
