Does anyone still listen to Gong?

I know there is a sort of Gong thread kicking around here, which is coupled with Hawkwind. But I wanted to start a thread devoted solely to Gong. Because they deserve it.

I used to be a great Gong fan in my teens and I still am after all these years. Still listen to them. Their last album called 2032 was excellent. And according to the reviews on Amazon I'm not the only one who thinks so.

Then there was the re-release of Camembert Eclectique (not to be confused with Camembert Electrique) which contains some really early recordings of Gong.

I see Gong as sort of visionary. They are very original, but they have that sort of friendly, warm vibe about them. They are Psychedelic Rock at its best in my opinion.
