Gong – Radio Gnome Invisible
Gnome, Gnome…
Radio Gnome…
Radio Gnome, Radio Gnome Invisible


»Camembert Electrique contained the first signs of the band’s mythology of the peaceful Planet Gong populated by Radio Gnomes, Pothead Pixies, and Octave Doctors. These characters along with Zero the Hero are the focus of Gong’s next three albums, the Radio Gnome Trilogy, consisting of Flying Teapot (1973), Angel’s Egg (1974), and You (1975). On these albums, protagonist Zero the Hero is a space traveler from Earth who gets lost and finds the Planet Gong, is taught the ways of that world by the gnomes, pixies, and Octave Doctors and is sent back to Earth to spread the word about this mystical planet.« (Quelle)
