Song of the Day # 746 Daevid Allen


First track from an album by Australian founding member of Soft Machine, later a key part of Gong. I found my way here via a recommendation from David Bowie, talking about choice selections from his record collection:

'It’s possible, just possibly maybe, that strands of the embryonic glam style started here. I replayed it just this morning and was flabbergasted to hear something that sounds like Bryan Ferry and the Spiders from Mars (together, at last!!) on Track 1, recorded a full two years before the “official” glam releases from either of the two above-mentioned protagonists.'
