I have Expresso II and Downwind, but had no idea Gong had that much history
behind them.  Were all those albums released in the US?  What label(s) were
they on?  I like Expresso II very much, and love the instrumentals on
Downwind (although the vocal songs are total garbage - it's an incredibly
schizophrenic album), and am interested in finding more.  Could someone
tell me what king of personnel/stylistic changes they've had over the
years?  What of their association with Mike Oldfield (if I'm not mistaken,
they backed him up on the live portions of "Airborn")?
