Gong is a Progressive rock act. Their sound grew out of Kevin Ayers, Dean Fujioka, Acid Mothers Temple, Soft Machine and Hawkwind. Those roots explain a lot about how Gong arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Soft Machine, Hatfield and the North, National Health, Matching Mole and Amon Düül II, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Ozric Tentacles, UK, Material, Fish Rising and Hatfield and the North, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 32 connections around Gong, reaching back through Kevin Ayers and forward to Ozric Tentacles.
