Daevid Allen - Twenty Two Meanings (The Art Of Glissando Guitar
Vol. 1) (with Harry Williamson) CD (album) cover   Daevid Allen
Canterbury Scene  2.33 | 3 ratings  From Progarchives.com, the
ultimate progressive rock music website  2 stars It does what it
says on the tin really. Your enjoyment of this album will be
dependent on how much you look forward to the (often lengthy)
passages of Glissando guitarwork to be found on sundry Gong and
Daevid Allen albums.  Personally, my enjoyment of Gong related
more to the whimsical wordsmithery, and the liquid lead lines of
Steve Hillage and to a certain extent on Didier Malherbes sax
and the space whispers of Gilli Smyth. Glissando was not my
thing.........which is why 'You' is my least favourite Gong
album as it contains lots of it.  So, how does '22 Meanings'
sound? Well, it's one continuous 46.30 minute 'piece' of Gliss
backed and interspersed with various nomadic beats, avant garde
tape collages and gentle drummings and strummings. Let me quote
