" Well, Tried So Hard is such a perfect pop song that had it been released as a single back in 1971 it could maybe have flown up the charts, with the right 'support' - what on earth would Gong's history have been if that had happened... probably best not to dwell on that. However, 42 years on the Invisible Opera Company of Tibet decided to give it the 7" vinyl single treatment and they have come up with something really rather tasty.
The Invisibles have of course always included Gong tunes in their live set and played with Daevid Allen often enough to be completely comfortable together, so they were ideally placed to record a version of one of the best 'classic' songs on Camembert Electrique.
I think they have come up with a very finely tuned beast, one that ticks all the boxes.
The B-side is a charged live version recorded by IOCOT with Daevid at the 'Up Close with Daevid Allen' event in May 2013. "

CD - Tara
- Brian Abbott
The making of this album has been a great joy. It has also been a
voyage of discovery and journeys into unexpected creativity.
This
album has been born due to Nigel Shaw's prompting and studio genius and
generosity. So I gathered all of my musical friends together to embark
upon this endeavour and it has resulted in the most magickal and
inspiring of recording sessions.
There are lots of gems on this album,
but for me the inclusion of the Tibetan Nuns of Chuchikjall
(Zanskar, Northern India) is just fantastic. As these nuns are part of
a charity I have agreed to pay to them £0.50 per CD sold, and £0.50 to
the Free Tibet Campaign to help with their work in freeing imprisoned
nuns and monks by the Chinese authorities.
I have always been drawn by the spiritual side of music and truly
believe that music can transform and raise awareness.
I do not really
subscribe to the male (only) God thing - I prefer
a balanced view of things.
Tara is a divine Goddess who I find I can
relate to. It also occurs to me that every man is born of woman.
Tara is known as mother of all the Buddhas and that says it all for me.
I do love the musical content of this album. So many different styles
emerged in the making and I find that refreshing and exciting and I
hope you will too.
