Camembert Electrique. Second album by Gong.

Camembert Electrique is a testament to that. The band's eclectic "electric cheese" rock is a mixture of psychedelic rock, spacy atmospherics and lyrics, and doses of jazz often presented with a pop sensibility, yet always intense. From the first cut on Camembert, you are transported to planet Gong via the voice of a "radio gnome" who drops in intermittently to remind you you're not in Kansas anymore. By: Gong (1971, Rock). Je Ne Fum’ Pas Des Bananes by Gong. Live On TV 1990 by Gong. Camembert Eclectique by Gong. Shapeshifter by Gong.

Camembert Electrique is often overlooked thanks to the Pot Head Pixie/Radio Gnome Invisible album trilogy, but as a record in Gong's career, it feels like it is just as important when regarding the band's legacy. Still far from perfect of course, but Gong's second release (or creatively speaking, the first) really hit home about which direction the band were heading in, because the amount of creativity and quirkiness on this album was undoubtedly in spades.

Camembert Electrique is the second studio album by the progressive rock band Gong, recorded and originally released in 1971 on the French BYG Actuel label. The album was recorded at Château d'Hérouville near Paris, France, produced by Pierre Lattès and engineered by Gilles Salle. The album was originally released in France in October 1971 on BYG Actuel (catalogue number 52. 53), and reissued in the UK in 1974 by Virgin Records (catalogue number VC-502), where it sold for 59p, the price of a single, a marketing scheme Virgin had used the year before for the album The Faust Tapes by Faust, in the hope that greatly discounted albums would give more exposure to the artists and encourage sales of their regularly priced albums, although these discounted albums did not qualify for album chart listings.
