When
he's eventually popped his clogs (for the man turns 76 in a few days
from now), Daevid Allen may only ever be remembered for his long-running
input into arguably one of the most influential bands of the
psychedelic rock genre, Gong. However, long before such a band existed
the man was running around the world, meeting up with musical poets,
disgruntling government authorities due to his visa running out and
generally cooking up some of the most otherworldly stories known to man
(and it's not just the pot-head pixies I'm referring to either). After
having had the time of his life producing the strangest music of the
late 60s under the Soft Machine and Gong banners, Allen decided to go on
a more personal venture into the world of music, thus creating his
first solo album, Bananamoon.
Bananamoon is a completely different
kettle of fish to Allen's work with Gong and Soft Machine, though still
very much drug-addled and otherworldly all the same. For his debut solo
album, Allen still used numerous musicians as he did with his previous
two bands on various songs. Therefore, what we have in Bananamoon is not
just one musician's input, but a rather large handful of musicians all
contributing their respective talents to each and every song. As a
result, every song here is different in its own way, though there are
times when a song can lose itself amidst psychedelic music.
