GONG - Rejoice! I'm Dead! (2016) Daevid Allens ghost shows up in the self-deprecating humor evident in the albums titleand lives on in the band. The first Gong album after its founders 2014 death, Rejoice! Im Dead! is an emphatic reassurance the the brainchild will be fine without its progenitor. And thats just the way Allen who had taken some leave of absences from Gong over the years would have wanted it. The current, five-piece lineup (Kavus Torabi (guitar, vox), Fabio Golfetti (guitar/vox), Dave Sturt (bass/vox), Ian East (saxophone, flute) and Cheb Nettles (drums/vox)) come with varying experience in Allens Gong, with Torabi joining just in time to participate in the last Allen-led Gong album I See You (2014), already contributing music thats well aligned with the swerving, witty, loose but penetrating brand of rock thats sort of jazzy, sort of proggy but never self-consciously so. A year later, hes suddenly thrust into the forefront of the band, and the good ship Gong is staying firmly on course. No one can make up for the keen wit and unpredictability of Daevid Allen, whose loss in the artful side of British rock is on par with the loss months later of one of his fans, David Bowie. But theres much to revel about with Rejoice!, as the torch bearers of serious rock who dont take themselves too seriously carries on confidently.
