Thanks for such a detailed answer.

I'm exploring early Gong at the moment. If, like me, you find Daevid Allen's whimsy tedious, you have to choose pretty carefully. This track, at least, has some decent music to excuse his lapses into twee humour:-

It's so 1969 I thought you wouldn't believe me otherwise.

Gong sounds more Prog, there's some Experimental side of Psychedelia e.g. United States of America. Seeing that it came out '73 makes sense. It seems to go in the direction of Jazz fusion which more bands were doing in the mid 70s. Think of Relayer which Yes released in '74. The last bit of the song is a bit interesting ~ 11:21 you hear Post-Punk-like/Devo-like chords.

I wish I could analyse music with precision, like that Nea, but it's beyond me.

Right now I'm really excited by these guys, with their solid rhythms and fuzzed-up guitar. Is there even a touch of Jim Morrison in their singer? I'm not sure.
