What's it got
then?
Short History of the life of
the band, as seen by one of the original

Not a biography
but collections of ideas pertraining

there and those who weren't.
"Nitrogen
Dreams" is a compendium of the
writings of Gilli SMYTH, founding member
of the infamous psychedelic rock bands
GONG and MOTHER GONG, and a veteran
of hundreds of litterary readings.
This is the
first collection of her work, from the
sixties to the présent, including a
collaboration with Robert GRAVES; lavishly
illustrated
with artworks, photos and colour reproductions
of original publications from author's
personal archives.
