Rezensionen


Von: Achim Breiling @


Nachdem Gong das Jahr 1970 über kaum in Erscheinung getreten waren, kristallisierte sich mit der Ankunft von Pip Pyle (vorher bei Delivery) Anfang 1971 eine stabile Band heraus: Daevid "Zero the Hero-Bert Camembert" Allen (Gesang, Gitarren, Bass), Gilli "Shakti Yoni" Smyth (Gesang und "Space Whispern"), Didier "Blumdido Bad De Grass" Malherbe (Sax, Querflöte), Christian "Submarine Captain" Tritsch (Bass, Gitarre) und eben Pip Pyle (Schlagzeug). Gong traten jetzt nicht nur regelmäßig live auf, sondern nahmen auch im selben Jahr 3 Alben auf: "Camembert Electrique", "Continental Circus" und die Dashiell Hedayat-solo-LP "Obsolete" (auf der aber die komplette Gong-Besetzung zum Einsatz kommt).

"Camembert Electrique" ist das 2. Album von Gong, aber ihre 3. LP (da der "Continental Circus"-Soundtrack wohl vorher veröffentlicht worden ist). Gleich zu Beginn hören wir zum ersten Mal die Stimme des extraplanetarischen Senders "Radio Gnome", die uns mitteilt, daß wir nun eine Direktübertragung vom Planeten Gong zu hören bekommen - oder so ähnlich, der Empfang ist nämlich so schlecht, daß der "Moderator" etwas schwer zu verstehen ist. Nach einigen kurzen Interferenzen setzt dann mit "You Can't Kill Me" die Musik ein.

Der Anfang der Scheibe, aber natürlich auch schon das Cover und die Spitznamen der beteiligten Musiker, verdeutlichen das Konzept von Gong: Recht seltsame Albernheiten, insbesondere in den Texten, werden mit psychedelisch-spaceig-jazzigen Tönen gekreuzt. Somit findet man auf "Camembert Electrique" (und den nächsten paar Gong-Alben) eine recht kunterbunte Mischung aus Quatsch und durchaus interessanter Musik.

Eine Art psychedelischen Canterbury-Jazzrock gibt es hier meist zu hören, geprägt vor allem von diversen Gitarrenklängen und Malherbes Sax- und Flötenspiel (zu treibender Bass- und Schlagzeugbegleitung), dem durchgeknallten Gesang von Mrs. Smyth und natürlich ihrem berühmten Space Whispern. Wer sich nun schon zum wiederholten Male fragt, was eigentlich Space Whispern ist, hier der Versuch einer Erklärung: Space Whispern - geprägt von Gilli Smyth - ist ein meist textloser Soprangesang, oder besser Sopranlaute, die sich irgendwo zwischen Flüstern und Stöhnen bewegen, aber auch glucksende Laute und Kichern beinhalten können und der Musik, zu der sie ertönen, ein psychedelisch-spaceig-mysteriöses Flair verleihen. Daevid Allen dagegen besorgt den eher kalauernden männlichen Gesangspart, obwohl auch er mitunter, mit recht eigenartigen, gehaltenen Tönen, das psychedelisch-spacige Klangspektrum bereichert (in "Tropical Fish/Selene" z.B.).

Die Musik bewegt sich, in gewissen Grenzen, zwischen den Adjektiven mystisch-sphärisch ("Mr. Long Shanks/O Mother/I Am Your Fantasy"), jazzrockig-psychedelisch-bizarr ("You Can't Kill Me", "Dynamite/I Am Your Animal", "Tropical Fish/Selene"), spaceig-trippig ("Fohat Digs Holes In Space") und psychedelisch-albern ("I've Bin Stone Before", "And You Tried So Hard" und die nur einige Sekunden langen Nummern), wird aber meist am besten durch eine muntere Mischung derselben beschrieben.

Kurz: "Camembert Electrique" ist eine ausgesprochen abwechslungsreiche, aber auch durchaus seltsame Platte, die für Freude von Canterbury-Jazzrock, Spacerock und Psychedelischem durchaus zu empfehlen ist. Eine ordentliche Portion Humor sollte allerdings vorhanden sein.
