Motivation Radio (Remastered & expanded edition) (1977)

"Those in tune with being transported through music will want to station themselves near the speakers for "Motivation Radio". Call it 'the light side of the moon', this album draws the listener into its own astral plane with a glossy and gauzy sound similar to Pink Floyd without the darkness, or Alan Parsons Project without the dorkiness. The new age/space ideology isn't far removed from Gong's original alternate reality, spelled out best during the album's true point of transmigration, "Saucer Surfing." Hillage's guitar work is typically transcendent, Giraudy's keyboards a vital component (note the Doctor Who-isms of "Searching for the Spark"), and Joe Blocker's drums a frequent breath of change. Hillage doesn't have the vocal presence to reach out to listeners; at best, he can meet them halfway. "Motivation Radio" is a remarkably smooth journey, more accessible than "L", if equally cosmic." (Dave Connolly, Allmusic; 4 uit 5 sterren) Deze 2007-editie bevat 3 bonustrack, waaronder een 'alternate mix'.
