Catalog Number: CHARLY5010LP Color: Black Format: LP UPC: 5060767445815 The follow-up to Good Morning, another tranquil, organic outing by Daevid Allen that re-introduces his imaginary green hero, Zero, from the Gong trilogy. The music on the album wafts along at a c asual pace, with unusual sounds such as tabla by Sam Gopal and harp by Marianne Oberascher. Despite his seeming frivolity, Allen has always had a vein of counterculture protest running through his music, and this comes to fruition in 'Poet For Sale', a song that Allen directs with v enom toward the business end of music. 'Only Make Love If You Want To' is a hy pnotic piece driven by a carousel-sounding synthesizer and Allen's sly vocals. 'I Am' is an 11-minute musical rendering of a Daevid Allen morning meditation from his home in Deya, Majorca. This tune harkens to the spacy side of Gong, with Allen's patented glissando guitar creating a serene, meditative state. The record closes with the acoustic 'Deya Goddess', dedicated to the moon goddess Diana. It's an appropriate coda to Now Is the H appiest Time Of Your Life, one of the most pleasant records to spring from the fertile mind of rock's oldest and most overlooked hippie poet. Tracklist: 1.
