We are gathered here today from all around, to celebrate eternity.

I've seen this darling man 7 times mainly in the 70's at the Rainbow in Seven Sisters road,London... At that time power cuts were happening and on one occasion me & other half at the time was in a pub with candles.. I digress.. The gig happened late, we had to leave early!!! as train situation, but! It was a memory... I will always treasure..

Met Steve and the band after a gig in 1977. What a nice bloke.

The finest guitar many have never heard

we had the chance to meet mr hillage at ozora festival (in august 2019), with some friends. we went to his show, and when it was over i decided to go to the stage (as a guitarist I was so intimidated to speak to such a legendary musician), there was not so many people, so I could go to him, and I told that it was a great honor to meet him (as french people we speak english like spanich cows as we use to say X) my brother came with me to give me some help ( I was petrified X) and told him we really like all he did, and that we really want to take a picture with him. We took the picture and it was an incredible moment, he kept smiling all along, after that we were like "man he looked so stooone!" a magical moment, forever in my mind, god bless !

Bought this album when it came out. It sounds even better than I remember - sort of jazz-funk meets psychedelia, no doubt about it Steve Hillage is one of the best guitarists.

I saw this in Preston when it toured. Hillage with Gong doing Hillage's album. Magical. We were in the cheap seats but as soon as the house lights went down the band got everyone down the front. Amazing live sound, so full, and I've loved the album ever since.

Un guitariste vraiment original, expressif et personnel dans sa démarche, on reconnait sa signature direct !! Son travail avec et après Gong est remarquable...à noter aussi son apport dans la musique électronique. Celui là fait partie des musiciens qui m'ont marqué.

One of the better version ever..Pierre, my soul's bother, R.I.P for Enertiny.

Steve Hillage the gift that keeps giving! especially at 7mins

since I discovered this song a few days ago I've played it again many times, because "hirman afterglid meedts the dervish" is FREAKING amazing

This guy was such a huge influence on me when I started playing guitar. So underrated but so good. I thank my old neighbour Rex North for introducing me to all this beautiful music and the wonderful stories that he told me. I still play to this day 39 years later!

Great artist and a great band with Steve on this album. That keyboard work by Dave Stewart is fantastic. Wonderful stuff.

Love Hillage , awesome player 🎸

love gong family, daevid, gilli, steve , miquette , et al, [love steves solo albums this is my very fave

This is amazing. If this music was a house I would like to live in it.

Such an incredible,very special musician,composer,singer and creative artist that has made amazing,beautiful great music on every album and live performance...thanks for posting this

this is epic amazing! what a delight it is to be human!!

The intro arpeggios are so beautiful... Steve is fantastic

What a great track this is and great album too.... love all his 70's stuff

Love Gong/Hillage. Fish Rising is a classic. Hillage very under-rated guitarist

whimsical and deep, vivid and groovy, fluffy and virtuosic and completely wonderful noises! I had a whole bunch of vinyls back in the day from Steve Hillage and ... I have for some idiotic reason gotten rid of them? wtf was I thinking?

Carajooooooo!!! No sé quizás el mejor tema de Hillage o mejor dicho uno de los 40 mejores............A mi me gustan mucho Fripp, Zappa, Hollsdwood..........Pero no hay guitarra mas espacial que la de Hillage y su musica es espiritual y bien rocanrrollera!!! Gracias por compartirlo!

De lo mejor, super guitarra, batería, bajo, mágico, 😇

Wow, what a musical journey... ^_^

incredible energy when he opens it up in the second half. UNREAL!

Great sound

Technical masterpiece really.

been years since i heard this little tune... very touching and inspired

My friends and I went backstage to see Steve and we asked him if he would like to share a chilum with us in his dressing room. The event was the Scottish N Orc.... playing Tubular Bells with Steve H playing the guitar bits. Wow what a night

Amazing! His best work I think

This song is just awesome, from the beginning to the end, it's art ! I love "The Salmon Song" from Fish Rising too it's great ! But the whole thing is just genius ! :) Thank you Steve !

I've been listening to him since I was 16 (25 now) unbelievable musician. I met Todd Rundgren in 2009 and asked him how it was to record "L" and Todd responded with, "let's just say he (Hillage) only recorded when the moon was full"

Glorious! At 9:30 when the hiram the afterglid meets the whirling dervish kicks in , absolutely splendid.

Sheer talent !.

dedicated to all optimistic visions of the future.

Brilliant.

this is incredibly good and touching. I deeply enjoy each time I listen to it.

Correct.. : ) From what I recall, it's track 1 on my Fish Rising LP. With the 4 suites in parts A/B/C/D. Followed by FISH! : D Thanks to stipeeeema for uploading this gem so we can enjoy it online

Nice spaced out music

The sun sings that he wants you all to know What dawns behind our lunarsea For since our very words were commandeered We've explored the infinite circuitry. To try and find a scheme that gave us form It burns our curiosity. And the answers that we sit and hope to find Are living here inside of we. And so we set foot on the pathway Between the pillars of black and white To put aside the fears and doubts that hold this old world down And open up our hidden store of Light, within. I saw all the stars that glimmer above me get off their pegs, and gently flicker down. And all the people of the world dissolve into a sparkling dust. And through the Holy Vortex, for a second it did pass, and then it returned to what it used to Be And in the second of realization the Angel of the Rainbow was watching us to see. If we were ready now to be a colour in his Harmony. Ah! I love its Holy Mystery. No need for sitting always on our own, staring desperately at all of the problems of this world. We see mistakes maybe our high is blown, But sometimes you need the black to see the white to Find the core of love and Beauty. So we can change our Lead back into Gold, and make the chemical wedding twixt ecstasy and concentration. We've got to learn to use our hearts and minds as the building stones to make the New Age World Electrik Temple. So people look into each other's eyes and gaze at them with certainty. We're gathered here today from all around to celebrate eternity. The Spirit in the air is never far immersed in our totality. And the answers that we sit and hope to find are living here in side of we. Never let the seal of love be broken lest you act too suddenly. We're waiting for the energy to come in the age of electricity. Magnetic tape Time swirling back and forth a-faster than the eye can see. And the answers that we sit and hope to find Are swimming in Our Mercury...

brilliant

I like Steve more than Gong and Gong is quite good! Steve has more room to move and grew more as a solo artist and with the musicians he played with seemed to make him better from what I feel! Steve is an incredible guitarist/arranger and a good singer with a pleasant voice!
