        The last mailout I got from Jonny de GAS says that the forthcoming
Gong album is going to be entitled _Acidmotherhood__, so I'm guessing
those hippies are going to get something to contend with! Looking forward
to it myself, unless Farflung do get going again that's as close to the
music I'd like not to have to try and make up in my head as there's going
to be... Yours,
                Jon (still in the timewarp)
