''Angels Egg'' is an album by Gong, recorded and originally released on Virgin Records in 1973. It was recorded using the Manor Mobile at Pavillon du Hay, France, and mixed at The Manor, Oxfordshire, England. The album was produced by Gong under the direction of Giorgio Gomelsky. ''Angels Egg'' is the second in Gong's ''Radio Gnome Invisible'' trilogy of albums, following ''Flying Teapot'' and preceding ''You''. The trilogy forms a central part of the Gong mythology. The original album did not have an apostrophe in the title. The original vinyl edition came with a booklet containing an extensive explanation of the mythology, including lyrics, a glossary of terms, and profiles of characters in the story and band members. This edition also had a gatefold cover (omitted in later pressings), a plain inky blue innersleeve to match the gatefold and booklet, and had the original black and white Virgin label that was discontinued after 1973; it was one of the last albums to use the original label. Some copies had a sticker over top of the female nude in the moon on the cover . The CD version released by Virgin Records, and later reissued on Charly Records contains an extra track: "Ooby-Scooby Doomsday or The D-day DJ's Got the D.D.T. Blues", that ends with a male voice choir glissando (questionably regarded by some as a parody on Pink Floyd's "Echoes"), starting with "Ahhhh" and ending with "Chooo", mimicking a sneeze. The track was originally released on the ''Live Etc.'' album but was excluded from the CD release (which reissued that double album as one disc), and included on this album instead. == Track listing == Unusual spellings are as listed on the cover of the original edition. ;Side one (Yin / Side of the Goddess) # "Other Side of the Sky" (Tim Blake, Daevid Allen) – 7:38 # "Sold to the Highest Buddha" (Mike Howlett, Allen) – 3:10 # "Castle in the Clouds" (Steve Hillage) – 1:13 # "Prostitute Poem" (Gilli Smyth, Hillage) – 6:05 # "Givin My Luv to You" (Allen) – 0:42 # "Selene" (Allen) – 3:42 ;Side two (Yang / Side of the Fun Gods / The Masculung Side) # "Flute Salad" (Didier Malherbe) – 2:46 # "Oily Way" (Allen, Malherbe) – 3:01 # "Outer Temple" (Blake, Hillage) – 1:09 # "Inner Temple" (Allen, Malherbe) – 3:21 # "Percolations" (Pierre Moerlen) – 0:40 # "Love is How U Make It" (Moerlen, Allen) – 3:25 # "I Niver Glid Before" (Hillage) – 5:37 # "Eat That Phone Book Coda" (Malherbe) – 3:10 ;Bonus track on CD # "Ooby-Scooby Doomsday or The D-day DJ's Got the D.D.T.

"Selene" is a completely different song from one with the same title on an earlier Gong album, ''Camembert Electrique''. Later CD editions add more bonus tracks, including demo vocal versions with altered mixing. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Angel's Egg (album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
