Angel's Egg", the second part of Gnome trilogy is probably the peak of GONG career, but for some reason I prefer "You". is worth paying attention. I felt the first album in the Radio Gnome triology Radio Gnome Invisible Vol. 1 - Flying Teapot (1973) had some great moments but Iīm not sure if I enjoy the silly psychadelic elements in their music as much as I had expected to. Normally Iīm not that much of a jazz/ rock fan but I find myself liking Gongīs jazz/ rock elements more than their psychadelic ditto and thatīs quite the surprise for me.

Very quirky, with many, mostly brief compositions, the album is a tad less spacy than Teapot, with just a few lyrics, and it's very technically adept. Angel's Egg opens with a true space rock cut (one of the few on the album), filled with the usual Gilli Smyth space whispering and Daevid Allen voicings, then leads into the cleverly titled "Sold to the Highest Buddha," with Steve Hillage and Didier Malherbe prominent figures. The instrumental "Castle in the Clouds" finds Hillage coming into his own, with a sound identical to his solo work.

It's not completely without appeal - the extended, spacey tracks that appeared on Radio Gnome Invisible and would come to dominate You are still just about present, with album opener Other Side of the Sky being a particularly strong example of this strand of Gong's songwriting. But it is a step down to merely being kind of fun and vaguely entertaining, and is a much less compelling listen than the other two albums in the sequence.
