The "debate" over this was whether Bill ever recorded with Gong or not. 
The liner notes to YesYears or something like that imply he's on Gong
lps, which is not true. Bill did drum with Gong in fall 1974 for a brief
tour of France. Bill himself seems hazy on the dates and when Anil asked
him about this in an interview he replied with something like "I dunno, 
maybe it was spring of 1975? Why are you asking me this?", which seems 
typical of Bill's attitude about his work with other groups in the 70's. 

Many of you have probably seen this before, but here's a "poem" by Daevid
Allen which he read here about 2 years ago, about Bill & Gong that I 
think is sort of cute in describing the chaotic anarchy of the group (and
commune?) of Gong at that time:

------
"Poem To Bill Bruford:

`You look quite young,
 except your hands.
 You have old hands. '

 I look at my hands...
 They look like I died last Saturday.

`I couldn't stay in this band,
 you all think differently than me,
 you drive me mad. ha ha ha.'
`I just couldn't do it' he added joyfully.

 Bloomdido says, hopefully, last angle,
`We are a community of hermits' *

`I like your playing' he said, gay-ly zooming in on Bloom,
`It's binging fantastic!' " **
----

By Daevid Allen, as read 8/91.
* = pronounced with exaggerated french accent
** = it sounded like "binging" but may have been some other word...

some notes from previous posts on this subject:

> I read this in the YesYears (box set) discography:
 
>     "With King Crimson, Bill Bruford recorded Larks Tongues in Aspic,

This is incorrect, as I've stated above, although Bruford did drum with
Gong. I dunno, maybe Bill did drum on Gong lps, using them as practice
pads, but he never recorded with the band. 

And as I've said before:
Hope this helps settle this one. Got any more Gong trivia questions? Just
ask and I'll see what I can find...

Do you have a reference for this?  Any other such info?

   It is a very good album,
   would sound great if it is ever released on compact disc. 

Yes, it is my #1 choice for a re-issue.  I've been told that it ranked
highly in a recent Goldmine re-issue wish poll...

   "Theme of Secrets" is his Private Music release, different from his other
   works, very deep and dark and moody.  But the quality of the recording and
   the sound, amazing.  Some of the tracks have been used in commercials and
   for ice skating performances.

Could you send me details about these?

   I would recommend picking it up.  BTW, his 
   use of keyboards and both electric and classical violin is pretty well
   balanced on all of his pieces.

Really?  I don't remember hearing much violin on any of his private
music stuff...

Does anyone know what Incredible String band or Procul Harum albums

Well just yesterday I got my Gryphon- The Collection CD, and yes, they
are very medieval, and actually use period instruments.  Many
songs are simply medieval folk type songs and could be on some
classical music CD, some songs have vocals and a couple are very
lush and symphonic sounding.  I believe this CD focuses on their folk
side (first few albums) not their symphonic later stuff from what
I've heard from others.  If you like medieval dance/jig type music
you should like this CD.
