Perhaps the most expressive band and lineup ever to play music of any kind. Stunning.

I bought this album when it came out in 1978 and discovered Allan Holdsworth's magic on the electric guitar. His sound was never better than here to my hearing, and this is still my favorite guitar solo of all time. If anyboy selling a Hartley Thompson amplifier, please let me know!

@maximiliancohen wow...didn't realize Bill Bruford "borrowed" so much from this man.

I love You Tube for musical homework.

one of the all time classic guitar solos that not enough guitarists have heard! thank god the producer put the reverb back on! lead guitar sounds better with some ambience, however subtle... i like how they goof with it, pulling it all the way dry and then all the way wet, kinda cool... love the double tracked ensembles(panned hard left and right) 'night illusion' makes use of multitracked lines too, which i think is an area of guitar to be expanded upon...

@maximiliancohen Absolutely mate..Moerlen was one of the finest percussionists ever..

I love the Gong family...

BTW, I heard this song when I downloaded it back then when Kazaa was. and is it only me but at the start of the song, the first 8-15 second there's a voice saying Allan. In the copy of youtube here it's scrumbled. but I maybe hallucinating, I don't know.

@thatkai , couldn't agree more. superb.

[chrislaneism]

Have'nt heard gong for fifteen years and now don't understand why!

[maximiliancohen]

Everybody is focused on Allan and that is really cool but just listen to that monstruous drummer Pierre Moerlain !
