Mother Gong - Wild Child

Review by Low Hill

Mother Gong's album "Wild Child" is a unique and captivating blend of psychedelic rock and folk music. The band's signature sound is infused with a sense of whimsy and playfulness, making for an enjoyable and engaging listening experience.

The album features a range of tracks that showcase the band's versatility and creativity. From the dreamy, ethereal "Dreaming It" to the upbeat and funky "Wild Child," there's something for everyone on this album.

One standout track is "Tried So Hard," which features dynamic vocals and a catchy chorus that will have listeners singing along. Another highlight is "Bring Me Joy," a soulful and introspective ballad that showcases the band's more contemplative side.

Notes

Originally released 1989.
First ℗ 1989
This reissue ℗ + © 1997
Tempel marketed by Spalax Music Paris France
Under license from Demi-Monde
Recorded 1989
Re-mastered re-issue with expanded, illustrated booklet with all lyrics.
Recorded in Wales in 1989, but release delayed for several years.
The 1992 date is unsure and comes from the "live 1991" album (Mothermusic MM101CD) liner notes, that says "we are currently told [the Wild Child] may be available in September 1992!".
Comes in a standard jewel case with a clear tray
Originally recorded 1989 and first released not before 1992
Tracks 3, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10 employ a technique we call spontaneous composition method (SCM). We have developed this over the past two years by continuously recording live in studio in Australia. The music is created spontaneously with only the most basic prior agreements on form + tonality, the end result is dependent on the moment by moment reaction of all of us to the lyrical images presented by Gilli. There are no overdubs on these tracks.
Recorded + mixed at Foel Studio, Llanfair, Caereinion, Powys, Wales, August 89.
