Pierre Moerlan R.I.P.

[sharcnorris]

I Started with Pierre on the INCANTATIONS lp w/ Mike Oldfield. I was never one for the spacey original Gong. But P.M.'s Gong was percussion innovation. He loved playing TUNED things to Hit. The vibraphone, tubular bells, all fit together in a remarkable and unique sound. 1978's EXPRESSO 2 with Bassist Hanford Rowe broke this drummers new ground w/ Allan Holdsworth on Guitar. Followed by 3 more gems with guests galore. My favorites DOWNWIND & TIME IS THE WAY gave any one with Bongos a way to join in. I loved these LP's, only to find a Live CD 1 year ago.
