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.

Talk about Gong - Camembert Electrique


Bajinn
My old friend Gary introduced me to this band around 1972, and I couldn't get my head around it. Just too hippy, crazy, too foreign, and in other words, too odd. Still, on the same day, he also played me early Kevin Ayers, and that too was a challenging listening experience for me. Decades later, either out of boredom, my jet-lag sensibility, I purchased this album at Rockaway Records in Silver Lake. Now, as I listen to Gong's "Camembert Electrique" I think it's a masterpiece.Daevid Allen started the group (if memory serves me correctly, I was put off by the spelling of his first name as well as disliking the album) and somehow ended up in France. A band, a cult - I'm not sure. There is for sure a thought that they live on a planet called 'Gong,' but a world that had instruments, that's certain. Still, the music is brilliant. Hypnotic, melodic, and in places, reminds me of David Bowie of the Ziggy period. There is also touches of The Soft Machine, which should be no surprise because Allen was a founding member of that band.The other voice beside Daevid is Gilli Smith, who has a sinister whisper and adds a certain intensity to the mix. For a bunch of French/British/Aussie Hippies, they are very tight and focused. It's psychedelic for sure but has a robust rock approach to their overall sound. This is my first entrance into the rabbit hole that's Gong.

My copy has a lock groove at the end of side 2. Do all copies have that?

The first Virgin release was Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells, in 1973. 1971 was the original release of Camembert Electrique, the French pressing on the BYG/Actuel label. Richard Branson also ran a record store (which later morphed into Virgin Megastore, naturally), and Gong's Camembert Electrique was apparently popular with many of the buyers (along with the two albums Faust did on Polydor, and Tangerine Dream on Ohr, issued on Polydor in the UK), and he decided to start a label when he discovered no other label wanted to take Mike Oldfield on. The Virgin issue of Camembert Electrique obviously came when Gong was signed (Flying Teapot was Virgin's second release). BYG had apparently went under by then, meaning the title was no longer available, so it was nice to see Virgin make it available again, and easier for UK buyers to buy it, as it was a domestic pressing.
